Packed In Like Sardines All Over Barbados
I see those buses every morning when I go on the School run and they scare the hell out of me. It doesn’t matter if it is the Government owned buses or the privately owned ones, they are rammed full of people.
It surely can’t be legal to have so many people on one bus at a time; they are severely over laden with people. I can only imagine the carnage that would happen if one of these buses were to be in a serious accident, and the way some of them are driven it is something that will happen one of these days.
Just the other day, I watched school kids literally hanging out the bus windows because the bus was so packed. What a way to begin your day of learning at school, it must have a negative effect on many school children’s concentration levels to be crammed in like a sardine before they get to school.
Just as I watched the packed bus in the picture come past, in fact I think this particular bus was going for the world record for the most amount of people that could fit in a bus, to say it was packed would be an understatement. A few minutes later a very comfortable looking private mini bus came past on it’s school pick up run, with the kids whose parents obviously have a bit of money.
I think David Thomson should come out of lllaro House and get driven around Barbados in his Limo and see for himself what is happening in his country, buses packed full of school children, the crazy drivers that obviously shouldn’t have a driving license, the state of the roads. To make things even more fun, PM Thomson you should come out when it is lashing down with rain.

I do believe the government is very aware. But Barbados, like many other countries in the world and humans in general, tends to be a reactionary society. Unfortunately, it may take a terrible accident and horrible loss of life before the powers-that-be address this ongoing problem.
Hopefully the PM David Thomson will be a visionary leader, which I feel he is and deal with the problem before lifes are lost.
