In light of the imminent impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Senior Minister with responsibility for Transport, Hon. Stephenson King has invited the National Council on Public Transport to meet to discuss the consequences of potential global increases in oil prices on the economy and the transportation sector.

The first meeting will be held with the NCOPT's Executive and the second with
the organisation's General Council - both to take place within the coming week.
The Department of Infrastructure, Ports and Transport understands the
immense economic setbacks experienced by the public transportation sector
over the past two years as a result of the COVID-19 virus and associated
protocols.  

As such, the DIPT through consultation, will work to arrive at solutions that will
redound to the mutual benefit of minibus operators and the general public.
