Shithole country!

PPP progress fuh yuh.

Nasty PPP through and through. And dey dey expect hundreds a thousands of tourists to come to Guyana. Hotels here there and everywhere.

Nasty PPP translates to nasty citizens.

This vulgarity has been ongoing during Granger's time also, it's not a PPP doing. Take this board for instance, we are far removed from both parties and what's going on in Guyana, yet the vulgarity goes on.

Didn't start recently neither. It is some of the people, they are plain and simple vulgar. On my last visit just after Cheddie passed away, we came out of a yard and across the street is a school with a tree out front where a big man stood by it, whipped out Charly and peed in front of the dam school while the kids were playing in the yard...backward scum that one was. My first thought was to walk up and slam him into the tree but the couple I was with told me to stand back, leave it alone, "is dem people habit" they said.

Absolutely right. It's some of the people. You did the right thing though. Some of these people have mental and substance abuse problems.

The moral fiber of the nation has deteriorated to a zone of no return

It started when the mini-buses came to Guyana and BlPeople were fighting for Boomboxes to be installed in the buses.

The same wildness was happening at the cinemas when they were lining up for tickets.  The pushing and the grabbing!

At the market square, was the same happenings. 

Guyanese people don't know about the queue although they were taught how to line up before entering school in the mornings.

It is not a shithole country because that's how you used to behave. Now that you went to NA and bought a color Television, you think that you are smarter than them, EH!

I had a mini bus when was there ,no boom boxes was allowed in the region.

this is not a political party issue. This is conduct of the people, the same people who elect the government, thus the malcontents we see in both parties that engage in the same behavior as this conductor.

A message needs to be sent and this is the perfect time to do it. He should have thought of his family before engaging in this behavior. These drivers need to understand they cannot be abusive to their passengers. A hefty fine should be enough to send the message.

Fined and suspension of license for a few months ,hopefully lessons will be learnt.

jango, seems to me the injured woman has more compassion for the.driver's family than you guys! Let him give.her some.payment and apology! Why should his family.suffer because of his idiocy? No.family? Jail time to teach a.lesson for.reminding in the future!

Let's not get carried away now. How will he pay his fine if he can't work? Fining him for abusing his passengers is enough.

Why in God's name, in FIFTY PLUS years, don't we have some rights of passengers or something in place to enforce and protect citizens?.

Under LFS when "choke and rob" started, Skip Roberts had the Bongo vans out in full force and plain clothes police in Water Street and around the markets.

Now lawlessness reigns.

28-year-old bus driver Josh Harry appeared in Court and was charged with making loud and continuous noise, improper conduct of the driver, failure to carry a conductor, and breach of condition of road service license.

The mini-bus driver who was caught on camera snatching a phone from a passenger and demanding she leaves his bus after she complained about the loud music, has been slapped with four charges and will be facing two others.

28-year-old bus driver Josh Harry of Soesdyke, appeared in Court and was charged with making loud and continuous noise, improper conduct of driver, failure to carry a conductor and breach of condition of road service license.

He pleaded not guilty to the four charges and was released on $30,000 bail.

The Police Force has indicated that he will face two additional charges of damage to property and assault.

Harry is expected back in Court on the 19th April.

In a video posted on Facebook, a female passenger of the mini-bus could be heard pleading with the driver to lower the profanity laced music that was being played in the bus.

The man refused to lower the music, and instead pulled to the side of the roadway where he asked the complaining passenger to leave the bus. When the woman refused as she continued to video record their confrontation, he snatched the phone from her hands.

He was confronted by some of the other passengers in the bus and a Police report was filed. He was arrested the day after the incident went viral on Facebook.

What region was that?  You know very well that the brothers refused to travel in a minibus if it didn't have a boom box.

How do you think we came up with this answer? "Aim for the boom box".

Guess what was the question.

Region 3 . There was a Mini Bus Association ,who worked towards satisfying passengers.

Installing audio in Private and Hire motor vehicles was part of my business ,way before mini bus came on the scene .I designed systems using more than one equalizer to drive tweeters and woofers. You seem to take prompt from fools.

I am talking about minibusses in Region 4. I bet you don't know that Indians couldn't travel on those buses because they were being abused by the rowdy brothers.

Bus driver in viral video fined $80, 000 for traffic offences  

The bus driver who was seen in a widely circulated video assaulting a female passenger who had asked him to lower his music, was this morning slapped with several charges. 28-year-old Josh Harry of Back Road, Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara appeared before Senior Magistrate Clive Nurse at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

Harry was slapped with five charges, namely breach of condition of road service license, making loud and continuous noise, conduct of driver, failing to carry a conductor, and conduct of driver. He pleaded guilty to all the offences which were committed on April 12, 2021, at Houston Public Road Greater, Georgetown. He was fined a total of $80,000 or in default five weeks’ imprisonment.

Facts presented by Police Prosecutor Sanj Jaisingh stated that on the day in question, Harry was the driver of route 42 minibus BYY 8024, which was proceeding north along Houston Public Road, when a passenger of the bus, Odila Peroune, 47, of Pearl, East Bank Demerara complained to him about loud, and continuous music which was becoming a nuisance.

The court heard the driver stopped the bus in a rash manner, approached the passenger, and snatched her cell phone out of her hand.  In the process of doing so, he hit her on her mouth, causing his conduct as a driver of public transportation, to be inappropriate. The matter was then reported and an investigation was carried out.

A licensing and certifying officer searched the bus and discovered the following: two six-inch Faital Pro Speakers, two eight-inch Faital Pro Speakers, a 1000 watt power amplifier, and an Audiopipe, all instruments of music that were not authorized by the prescribed authority.

The Prosecutor asked the Magistrate to impose maximum fines to send a clear message to other minibus operators. Harry has since paid his fine. He is expected to be charged with assaulting the minibus passenger later today.

A licensing and certifying officer searched the bus and discovered the following: two six-inch Faital Pro Speakers, two eight-inch Faital Pro Speakers, a 1000 watt power amplifier, and an Audiopipe, all instruments of music that were not authorized by the prescribed authority.
