When we left you last night, President of the Belize Bus Association Thomas Shaw was asking for the prime minister to intervene once again. He explained that in giving 9 runs in the west to the Belize Bus Owners Cooperative - the folks at the Transport department had stepped on the toes of at least one western operator, Guerra's bus who was losing a number of his runs to the BBOC - without any prior knowledge.
Shaw's explanation was backed up by a letter form the Guerra's Bus Line flatly refusing to give up any runs to the BBOC. So, another impasse, right? Well, that one only last for a few hours.
Shaw today told us that Guerra held meetings at the Ministry of Transport up until after 7:00 pm - and by the end of it, he was sufficiently convinced and agreed to give up the runs t BBOC.
And so today, BBOC busses were back on the Western Highway - making a total of 9 western runs starting at 10:00 this morning - the first western runs they've made since May 21st.
Now they are still expecting eight or so runs in the north, but scheduling these is proving to be a little tricky and those details are still being worked out.
