Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Eli Zakour says he has instructed his ministry not to issue him a Priority Bus Route (PBR) pass, insisting he wants to experience the traffic problems of regular citizens.
“I have instructed the permanent secretary and the ministry not to issue me a bus route pass at this time,” Zakour said. “Traffic management falls under my purview. How can I address it if I am avoiding it? That is why traffic did not ease up in the past nine and a half years, because those who were responsible were avoiding it.”
Zakour, who lives in west Trinidad, would not require a PBR pass for his commute to his ministry to Port-of-Spain but said he experiences traffic from where he lives.
