Police tackle multi-coloured “wrap” design minibuses

Ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), as part of their regular patrol, have pulled over several buses that have multi-coloured ‘wrap’ designs at the Brickdam Police Station.
When contacted, acting Traffic Chief Ramesh Ashram stated that this campaign was currently ongoing until all vehicles were in compliance with the traffic rules, which prevent them from operating with wraps and featuring many colours.
He later stated that this was a countrywide campaign and all bus routes would be checked to ensure that the traffic laws were not breached.
So far, over 30 buses were pulled in at the Police Station after their registration documents showed that the vehicles were supposed to be in a single colour. However, this was not the case as most of them were wrapped in various colours and designs, and bearing logos which were not in compliance with the traffic regulations.
Meanwhile, drivers who were identified by the Police officers related that they were losing money and time.
The vehicles whose designs are sprayed on will be allowed to continue working. Conversely, the operators of minibuses that were wrapped will have to make certain changes in order to continue working.
Police officials have indicated that these problems could be avoided if all traffic regulations were followed. Drivers will be provided with a fitness certificate, which will allow them to resume operation.
