PHILIPSBURG:--- On Thursday, April 13, 2023, the Honorable Minister of TEATT Arthur H.L. Lambriex, and his support staff, held a meeting with the united bus association board members, where he held discussions concerning their requested increase in tariff. It also discussed the new idea that the minister has for the bus terminal and how it would work. Discussions were also held concerning route coverage to ensure all areas are properly serviced such as Point Blanche where the idea is to have buses for all routes more frequently instead of the same route on nearly all buses. President Claude Omeus was pleased with the discussion and that the Minister has a good plan for the bus drivers based on the discussions held. The next follow-up meeting will be a general membership meeting to discuss all that is being planned and we are hoping that we could have a member of the cabinet present or even the Minister himself to discuss on a more personal level with the bus drivers the plans government has for public transportation which has long been put on the back burner of every minister that sat in that office.
