  1. While me understand the drivers views dem need to cut down on the bad driving weh mek dem a get the tickets in the first place. If dem thing did more orderly then they would be given less tickets. It can’t be a free for all. Otherwise from that the gas thing really a get out a hand.

    1. @ronaldo and the police and the transport department needs to stop targeting and carry grievances against people and extorting them in the decoye way

  2. Bus drivers on the constant Spring route..they are too unlawful, those drivers drive disgusting. Follow the rules and put on your seat belts. Problem solved.

    1. @Jermaine Gordon well it’s not the best time for them to strike. They should have strike 3 weeks ago. I understand the diesel price but the taxi drivers got a little ease with about 7dollars price drop. Think they timing off. But still understand the challenges tho

  3. What happened to the high murder rate protest
    The jamaican people a some big coward
    What happened when criminals them extorting the taxi men in the bus park and some of them even get box dung,,everybody quiet and drive gone.But we only have strength for the government and police not criminals..i dont want to hear it..

    1. Best comment in a long time 👌. They need to prioritize. Talking about ⛽, what about the innocent victims who are getting killed everyday in Jamaica 🇯🇲.

    2. @Natalie Mullings You can probably look up the crime wave and see when it started, which Government was in place and track it from there. When did we first see our first 1000+ murders per year and which party, you would love the results xd. From there you could also have some ideas on how we as a Nation can tackle where it currently is.

  4. Taxi men, when you strike it’s the poor just like your self that suffers. Mr Holness and his friends children are chauffeur driven. Poor people like me have to be wondering how is my child going to reach home. If we know beforehand, we can decide to send or not to send or make other transportation arrangements. When your child is out there and you cannot make the first move, unnu know how that feels? Andrew pickney dem unda ac a guh home right now. A John Poor alone a fret right now.

    1. That’s the bitter medicine. you have all right to stand up for your rights gas prices, food, and car parts going up, so the least they can do is fix the road, look at what they built in negril for 12 million, just a metal sign.

    2. @diane robinson wooie u like 🇭🇹 gwan right dey go live n experience their trials n tribulations n nasty dirty conditions of living n when all those n more start press u down,u will know how bless u r to b born n live in 🇯🇲 nuff ppl always think the grass is greener on most sides of the hill .kmdt unu need fi stop talk shut if unu no one way fi sey , Jamaica is paradise n in no Bracket with Haiti.

  5. Too much unlawful taxi drivers on the road and they are so reckless irresponsible and don’t care about people’s lives some a you fe come off the road

    1. My mom and I were on our way last night from a candle light service and a taxi driver almost ran us off the road!! I’m not saying all of them drive reckless, but the majority of they are truly demons on the. Road.

    2. Your comment shows that you are sensible and aware of these lawless taxi men. It is very had to feel sorry for them when they endanger the lives of others. A lot of them are crazy and should not be on the road.

  6. Prosperity! When running a house u need to have something save for hard times, this government don’t care, the harder times get the more thus government tax poor ppl but not to better the island but themselves

  7. Today is September 12,2022
    Fast forward to September 12,1988 Hurricane 🌀 Gilbert hit Jamaica 🇯🇲 bless up Jamaica 🇯🇲

    1. A that him fi chat bout how we come this far by faith, him a come chat bout people fi mourn his colonial mistress..Condrew a joker to backside..

  8. Andrew and ruel Reid please assist guys hill primary with the additional things they need. Ed Bartlett, I believe the students at guys hill primary and other under funded schools across the island could benefit from computers etc, rather than you paying 12 mil for a sign… Get your priorities right!!!

  9. Shame on you government shame
    Stop 🛑 vote Jamaica wake up people remove them let them start step down 👇 awake up

  10. How about a amnesty to obey the transportation ACT…blaming the passengers to be on time for them to OBEY the traffic ACT..LOL🤣

  11. Gas prices high are rising all over the world. It’s cost US$90 to fill my tank up from US$45 last year, I don’t see anyone striking in North America over higher gas prices. What the government can do is offer reprieve in other ways.

  12. It is quite clear that the people in st thomas are clearly forgotten by the governmental authorities in jamaica. Which parish in jamaica suffer as the people of this parish. This parish is depleted of all its natural resources, water . You visit and what you are faced with is water shortage garbage pileup and dust from the roads that are supposedly being worked on. I find the whole thing a disgrace and I am saddened for our children and elderly who have to face this on a daily basis.

  13. First thing need to happen is the rule of law by the so called transport operators… The vigous and criminal behavior’s on the streets needs to stop that is the crooks of the matter here smh

  14. They should ticket every single one of them for maliciously disturbing the first day of school and provide school buses for the kids and fade out their asses….very disgusting set of drivers.They should all be charged and donate the money to buying school buses for the kids.

  15. What this man saying and this woman it’s so true my Jamaican 🇯🇲 remember to vote Andrew holiness our PNP government is better for our great nation please my Jamaica people
