Soon after Alliance Owners of Public Transport (AOPT) chairman Roy Raphael complained that repeated warnings about illegal public service vehicle (PSV) operators were falling on deaf ears, Minister of Transport and Works Kirk Humphrey has stepped in, meeting with the association and promising action.

Raphael recently lamented that despite raising concerns publicly and receiving support from insurance executive Randy Graham, there had been little official response.

“It appears that nobody seems to be interested. After the discussion in the papers and then Randy Graham came out and reinforced his point, it appears to me that nobody else ever came and addressed it because it doesn’t concern them, not until there’s a mass casualty and then you’re going to hear the outcry,” the AOPT leader lamented.
