The experience with the British rail system instructs us on the following. Mo privatization of public transportation ought to take place without the government having a credible alternative, should one company or a group of companies decide to take the entire country hostage. And that is irrespective of which tribal political group is in office.

No politics !!!!!! How the hell do you think Guy Joseph got where he is? This is a classic case of, "The working class can kiss my arse, I've got the foreman's job at last."

My Fellow St. Lucians:

Have you read the article “Are there more lunatics at large than in an asylum?” in the Letters & Opinion section in this newspaper?

Will the government insist that any bus driver who gets duty concession, has to file income tax returns and pay their appropriate taxes.

Its time to get these guys to pay taxes.After they get concessions they make the most noises when we have bad roads.Plus its time we get more comfortable buses especially on the longer routes.Govt should only give concessions to those who are willing to bring in bigger buses.

Before you jump on the backs of bus drivers and ride them to Castries, how would you feel if your livelihood is threatened? How much do you pay in taxes annually and how much do you evade? Is this the reason for selling cheap and inferior quality tires so expensive to bus operators? Bus operators are not making more than the millions corrupt government ministers are receiving from Taiwan in the name of their constituencies and embezzling it.

UNEDUCATED BUS DRIVING IDIOTS does not give contracts to their surreptitious companies and siphons the treasure of millions of dollars. Why are you not demanding that our Mongoose Gang Government, “Volair Ti Poul” to be transparent and accountable? Are you one of the recipients of the spoils of war?

Bus operators are hard-working and honest individuals. Unlike some of you who occupy comfortable air-conditioned offices and contribute nothing, they get up early in the morning to drive your black donkey to Castries on time for work.

Yes Mr. Well bred and well read, education is important but common sense is equally important. Before you draw your sword and demand that bus operators pay tax, you must first ascertain their accessible income.
