Can you imagine travelling on a car or minibus and another minute you wound up in a muddy canal fighting to save yourself? Welcome to Guyana! Speeding is the name of the game and death is the prize. Why is drivers is in such a rush to kill people?

This happens all over the world, not only Guyana, even here in the great USofA.
Anyhow, I do believe the Govt should codify and regulate mini-buses for passenger use. Only particular bus types should be licensed and drivers need to be better trained and strict driver licensing rules implemented. Drivers should also have a 3 strikes rule by which the Govt could take away their permit.
Of course, if the Govt acts one can expect the opposition and the bus drivers to make a huge rockus.

Where in the USA is it possible for a vehicle operator to cuss the passanger if they complain the music is too loud. I was once on a buss from NY to philly and the air conditioner did not work for part of the way the passengers demanded their money back and got it!

Baseman you are full of shit. Do you read what you post? Your logics are warped.
Baseman is on the money, whenever the GoG try to implement laws to curb illegal mining, illegal vending,electricity stealing, illegal squatting, illegal driving, the afc/pnc take the opposing side and sympathize with the offenders. This has been seen time and time again over the years as they pander for votes from those who break the law, oftentimes portraying them as victims.

Don't buses crash in the USA and people suffer or die? The issue here was the accident not the other crap you hauled in. BTW, the Govt have implemented a rule on stereos in buses in Guyana. The days of boom-boxes on wheels are long gone. However, its true, bus safety is an issue in Guyana. I will not argue with that.

Katahar, vehicle type and driver training are major issues in these accidents.

You have started the name calling. You were the one who ran to Admin like a cry baby and got me suspended.
Each one of your sentences are stupid. I am not surpised, since you think your stupidity is virtuous.

Indeed they crash. However, they are crammed beyond capacity with people, horribly noisy and the operators are discourteous brutes. Also, there should be a ban on this kind of vehicle as commercial passenger vehicles.

That is what I said in my post. But if the GoG does, you can expect the like of you, the PNC goons and the katahars to lead protests and marches, inciting mayhem and destruction because some Afro bus drivers will be impacted.

I never ran to Admin, I never do, I guess Admin saw your dirty language and zapped you. Now you point finger at me.
You cannot challenge my posts, that's why you resort to indecent language.
I ask you, would vehicle-type codification, driver training, and general rules around passenger buses not help improve safety and other ills of bus travel? What was so wrong with my statement.
Guyana's roads are too small for the speeds these vehicles travel.
Are these vans/buses checked to see if they are really road worthy?
Are the drivers checked to see if they are road worthy?
Last time I visited I travelled the East Coast heading for Berbice where I saw items being dried on the roadway on zinc sheets, this should never be allowed.

Do not lie. You were the only one with whom that I had confrontation on that day. Your question is stupid and I would not dignify it with an answer.
You cried like a baby when I called you a Kurass. I am convinced you are the one who got me suspended.

Mits, you paranoid. I saw you suspended and then saw what you wrote. You see, I don't give a hoot what you or anyone calls me. You never get under my skin, so don't flatter yourself. You would not "dignify" or you just cannot handle the volleys baseman lob your way. Face it Mits, you cannot counter baseman, so you cuss and pout.

You think the word "Kurass" is vulgar. Probably if I said Kur BT it might have been OK with you. Don't flatter yourself. You ask stupid questions. THe question you should ask yourself is what has your PPP done these past 20 years to curb these accidents.
Your sitting on the fence when I confront you with facts reminds me of Alice and the Cat and her conversation with him at the fork of the road.
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I donât much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesnât matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, youâre sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
Of a characteristic of a child, your questions are exhibiting silliness, immaturity and trivial. Go eat katahar with kurass chokah.

Oh, Baseman.
What hast becometh of you?
Passengers had to swim out of canal after mini bus plunged into Vlissengen Road canal this morning.
Is that redux or god sitting down?

It is his chronic bigotry postulating you are black. These asses think one cannot have opinions that does not concur with their except that one is black. His behind possibly more look the color of the person there and yet he has the nerve to be a racist pig.
Too many FOOLS are able to "BUY" their Driver's Licenses.!!!!
I heard you committed adultery in Guyana multiple times. Is that allowed by your book? Isn't that a sin against your better half?
Ah see on another thread where you tell Nehru that you like mature women who know what they can do. Women is more than one woman.
I'll bet chul-chul Nehru set up Cobra to shake up the Sheikh.
The minibus is being pulled out of the canal.
They have a good crain system. Thank God no one is seriously hurt or dead.

I feel sorry for you. You are looking at a vacuous Baseman in the mirror.

After I tek a peep at the pic for a secon time, Iman notice a banna in a yellow shirt an I say, mmmm, is like I lookin at we boy Lord Councie of Latrineville.
Cain, do you think the mud in the canal smells nice. What comes to mind when you see the woman in mud sitting down?

I can tell you right off the bat that those canals smell real bad. You don't want the misfortune of falling into one, especially that one near the museum. However, in your case there will be an en exception. I would gladly dash you in mesself.

GT and all along the coastland stinks. Trash is all around and very little is done to clean up the place. An american professional who had to visit often due to her work there, once said that she thought that the smell was due to the fact that the coastland was over 6 feet below sea level and water table was so high and the stink was actually a combination of sewerage and trash and poor sanitation on the ground.I think she is right.
The capital should indeed be moved as early as possible. Brazil and other countries did it successfully.

The construction going on in Georgetown by the private sector shows that people have forgotten about the flood. However in terms of the garbage and smells, moving the capital will not affect the situation, the people have to change their habits of dumping wantonly and police need to enforce the litter laws. I was down there recently and did not experience any of these smells that you or your American friend claim.

Would you agree, with proper drainage and irrigation this situation could be alleviated?
