Fiji’s Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport met representatives from the Fiji Bus Operators Association (FBOA) to ensure bus drivers and operators were fully compliant with the COVID-19 safety health measures.
The ministry stated on its social media Facebook page that the discussions directed attention towards drivers and operators to undergo swab tests and vaccination to provide confidence to Fijians that buses were a safe mode of transportation under COVID-safe measures.
“As announced, public transportation within the different zones will be available but limited to 50 per cent seating capacity. In this regard, the ministry reiterated the need for bus operators and drivers to ensure the 50 per cent capacity in all buses is adhered to,” the ministry stated.
“Notably, PSV drivers under the Fiji Taxi Association and Minibus Association will follow similar paths to ensure their safety and that of the travelling public is upheld at all times.”
