Residents in St John say infrequent bus services are making their daily commutes difficult, with some reporting waits of several hours for public transport.
Barbados TODAY visited the parish to hear people’s concerns in the rural east.
One young resident, who did not want to be identified, said he had to buy a vehicle because of the unreliable service: “I work some odd times. I work from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and buses here take too long. A bus from town leaves every half an hour, except around 11 or 10, but to get a bus from here… sometimes it doesn’t come.”
