I would like to express my disappointment, in the Antigua and Barbuda Transport Board, and it management team of the National School bus.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

For weeks I’ve noticed the complaint of the staff, never thought it would’ve hit home until Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd respectively on both days.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who is responsible for screening drivers to making sure that these drivers are fully capable of getting the nation\u2019s children to and from school?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Can the management of N.S.B.S, please explain to the nation why was there an alcoholic worker who was deemed unfit to drive any government vehicle was placed to drive the Island Academy School?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why is it that Mr. Hubert Jarvis and his team doing such an awful job at running the ABTB? What is wrong with these people for crying out\u00a0loud?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are people’s kids we are speaking about here now. If the department is desperately in need of drivers, please hire and make sure the proper process is followed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The last thing we need right now would be something seriously happening which could be avoided.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Signed<\/p>\n

Concerned Parent<\/p>\n
