I can recall a few months ago penning a letter to your newspaper as it relates to the uncouth behaviour of some mini-bus conductors and ‘touts’.

The continuous lawlessness which is being carried out on our streets in Georgetown not just by the minibus drivers and conductors but the ‘touts’ who impose their services on people, conducting their business on a daily basis is very disturbing to the travelling public.

As a commuter who uses public transportation each day I am disgusted by the constant harassments of these ‘touts’.

There are many cases where ‘touts’ pull and tug at passengers to get them into buses they want them to enter.

In the confusion some ‘touts’ steal wallets and other belongings from unsuspecting passengers. This problem is increasing and it is time for it to stop. Some go as far as throwing their arms over passengers’ shoulder which may not be appreciated by many.

Not forgetting the conductors, they too, continue to overload the mini-buses even though they are full.

Enough has been said and raised about ‘touts’ and conductors who continue to break our laws. It is time that our law enforcers clamp down on this pressing issue.
