A Transport Green Paper, which details planned changes regarding public and private transportation, was submitted this morning during the House of Assembly.

It has been the first comprehensive review of transportation since 2002.

Changes suggested to the bus system included GPS tracking, access to wi-fi, and cashless bus fares.

Chris Furbert, the president of the Bermuda Industrial Union, said earlier this week that a work-to-rule by bus operators would only be lifted if two portable air-conditioned restrooms were made available for staff in St George’s.

He added the BIU had made Zane DeSilva, the transport minister, aware of the condition.
