People from Muainaweni Settlement, Namuamua Village, Nadevotu Village and Gusuisavu are complaining that there is no bus service in their areas from Sunday last week.
One Lepani Daivalu said the bad roads had affected the provision of bus services in the greater Muainaweni area.
“I feel sorry for the people in this area working in Suva and Nausori,” Mr Daivalu said.
“From Monday, we are struggling to look for transport to take us to Suva because there is no bus going and we don’t blame the bus operator, we blame the road condition.”
Mr Daivalu is an architect travelling from Muainaweni daily to work in Suva.
Tacirua Transport director Virendra Singh said they had been complaining many times to the Fiji Roads Authority about the road conditions and no response had been received from them.
“We complain about the roads that we service, especially Naitasiri area but still nothing has been done,” Mr Singh said.
The 58-year-old bus director was very upset when The Fiji Times called him to respond to the public complaint.
He said if they voiced their complains in the paper and or on television, still the FRA would not listen.
“Very soon, we will close our services to more places because the road condition is very bad.”
One of the bus drivers in Muainaweni area is Bimal and he said he had been complaining about the Savu Road for the past two months and still nothing had been done.
“The students schooling in Fiji National University and workers from Muainaweni are not attending school and work place because bus is not going,” he said.
“I can’t do much, otherwise the bus will breakdown all the time because the pot hole is like a earth oven hole.
“I feel sorry for the workers and students from Muainaweni area.”
Acting Fiji Roads Authority Acting CEO Kamal Prasad said that works were now complete and the road was now fully operational.
