Commuters and Essequibo residents are calling on the Transport and Hydraulics Minister,Tyler Seguin Jersey, Robeson Benn to intervene with regard to the way speedboats operating between Parika and Supenaam are assigned by the monitor in the rainy season.They say boats without sheds are being given preference to be filled although the rain may be pouring, something which is illogical,Mark Scheifele Team North America Jersey, as there are numerous shed boats available.Commuters obviously prefer boats with sheds during the rainy season“Imagine you got to go into a boat without shed and the rain falling hard… people skin getting soak and the monitor saying that there is a turn system! The Government implemented a rule since January 1st, 2010,Shayne Corson Jersey, to have their boat fixed with a shed,Darcy Kuemper Jersey, now commuters must suffer because some boats don’t have shed! Then such boats should not work when it rains!” one irate commuter explained.Passengers noted that they are made to suffer because of nonsensical decisions by the monitor. Thus,Pierre Pilote Jersey, they said speed boats with sheds should be given preference in the rainy season instead of boats which don’t want to comply with the shed rule.According to officials of the Public Works Ministry,Craig Hartsburg Jersey, which is charged with monitoring safety on the country’s waterways,Brett Hull Jersey, there have been numerous complaints from travelers using the speedboats on the Parika/Supenaam route,Keith Magnuson Jersey, but although there have been meetings,Tony Twist Jersey, there is a seeming reluctance for the operators to agree. |
