Buses will not be running for an indefinite period today because of a planned march on Parliament, the Government has advised.

A government statement said: “The Department of Public Transportation has this morning been advised by the Bermuda Industrial Union that the bus service will shut down between 8am and 8.30am this morning.

“This is due to the march on Parliament this morning.”

It comes after David Burt, the Leader of the Opposition, urged Progressive Labour Party supporters to demonstrate today at Parliament as MPs prepare to debate the controversial airport redevelopment legislation.

The Department of Public Transportation added that there is no information as to when bus service will be resumed.
