And because of an accident 11 days ago, Haylock's bus remained under suspension tonight.
The suspension should have ended last Friday with an inspection at the city's bus terminal, but the bus line only presented 5 of its 9 buses, the suspension continued and they were asked to return this morning with all 9 buses.
Those 9 buses lined up in the terminal's compound as they were thoroughly inspected one by one to see if they were road worthy and if their documents were up to date.
After the inspection was completed, the Commissioner of Transport- Crispin Jefferies told the media that the bus line passed its inspection.
Crispin Jefferies, Commissioner of Transport
"Haylock had two runs, one out of Belama and the other out of Lord's Bank. The two runs had him using approximately 4 buses per run. At the Friday's inspection only 5 buses were presented. That was unsatisfactory and we asked him to return today to continue the investigation when all 9 buses that he has currently on the run would have been presented. That was done, we are satisfied that the buses are road worthy, there might be some interior matters related to the condition of the seats that we've asked him to address but other than that they are fully insured, fully covered, mechanically sound and are able to operate. He has passed this inspection and we'll be looking at others to do the same."
Jeffries flatly refused to take any questions from LOVE TV or 7news - and abruptly ended the interview, proving that one year after leaving the post of Police Commissioner, he's still a child at heart.
The Ministry of Transport plans on conducting inspections on all bus lines.
