Essequibians are requesting that the Transport and Harbours Department put back the Adventure-Parika Ferry service on its normal scheduled operation.

Several commuters told the Chronicle that the current ‘tide system’ schedule is forcing passengers to use the speedboat service at Supenaam.

Commuters said the ferry service is only for trucks and cars and not passengers.

They said management of T&HD should correct the situation and get the channel of the Essequibo River dredged out so that the ferry can return to its normal schedule, including the midday service.

Essequibians said they are disgusted with the current “tide” system.

They are also calling for the opening of the new modern ferry stelling at Good Hope
