And while those marine planners have a cool tool to use - there's no tool that can fix the mess Belize's public transport systems is in. The problems with decades old buses on the highway make the news very regularly - as it did today - when this southbound R. Tillett bus caught on fire. Fortunately no one was hurt - even though it did happen in front of Club Fire, formerly Eruption.
Figuring out how to bring those buses up to standard will be the work of the newly appointed Transport Board which convened its inaugural meeting
Today.
The newly appointed Transport Board members comprise, Chairman Joel Cervantes, Deputy Chair Debora Jones, Clementina Castillo representing Private Sector Users of Public Transport, Sr. Superintendent Calbert Flowers Representing the Belize Police Department Russell Medina representing the MIDH, Thomas Shaw representing the Public Transport Providers and Peter Williams Designate Representative of the Chief Transport Officer.
