Public transport operators have praised this year’s Crop Over traffic arrangements, saying route changes and improved planning reduced congestion and allowed for smoother movement of vehicles and patrons.

The Alliance Owners of Public Transport (AOPT) and the Association of Public Transport Owners (APTO) said they are happy with how the process went for their members in plying their trade.

“This year, we did not have the level of traffic congestion that we experienced in previous years,” AOPT chairman Roy Raphael told Barbados TODAY.
