Commuters along the western corridor can expect some changes with D and E Bus Line out of Benque Viejo. That's because it has been bought by Westline Bus out of San Ignacio. The owner of Westline Sergio Chuc told us how it will benefit commuters:..

"It means improvement in the services because we know that D&E was going through a little crisis. You could see equipment was deteriorating. I am at liberty to discuss the details of their financials, but they needed to get out of the business and I think we have an excellent management crew that can take it over. We took over the operations on Saturday and we already introduced a new bus to the government workers; the ones that were complaining the most. So we had a nice bus that was put out for them this morning. By the end of the week we will put out another run and hopefully in January we could bring 2-3 more on board. So, the service is definitely going to get better. If the people from Belize City, if they had passed through Caribbean Tires today, they would have seen that several of the buses that were there changing tires and getting service, so that we could be more reliable."
The acquisition was finalized on Friday and Chuc says he has already changed tyres on the D and E busses.
