Guyanese bus operators need licence for Paramaribo run

Guyanese bus drivers transporting persons across the border to Paramaribo must now first apply for the necessary licence, according to Suriname’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Tourism (TCT).

This announcement was made following a protest recently by Surinamese bus drivers, who are accusing the Guyanese of taking away their business.

It is usually very convenient for the Guyanese Traveller to enter a bus in Georgetown and emerge in Paramaribo. Let's hope that this matter is settled to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders. I can predict that if the Guyanese Buses are made to Pay this Licence, that cost will be passed on to the passengers with a higher fare.

Should they also learn to speak Dutch ?  :-\
