Long haul bus services to be halted from tonight while bus services uncertain tomorrow

The Fiji Bus Operators Association has announced that long haul bus services will be halted from this evening while it is uncertain if bus services will be able to operate tomorrow.

From 7pm tonight, only skeleton bus services will operate where it is safe and possible to do so.

Association General Secretary Rohit Latchan says bus services need to be scaled back for the safety of drivers and the travelling public as people conclude final preparations for the impending cyclone.

Latchan says they cannot confirm if there will be bus services tomorrow.

He says bus drivers need to be released to prepare and be with their families as the cyclone approaches so services will be progressively reduced from this evening.

Bus operators are urged to take their directions from authorities and exercise wisdom in operating during this period.
