Reporter:
"Should the commuting public brace for a bus fare increase?"

Hon. John Briceno, Prime Minister
"That is quite likely in the works, the price of diesel has been going up considerably. The former prime minister is egging the bus association to take us to court on that matter but it's real. We note that the prices on fuel is continuing to go up and that the bus lines are not making money and these are some of the things that are out of our control, we do not have control over a number of these things, a number of these items."
