Regional Chairman of Region Six, David Armogan and General Manager of the Transport and Harbours’ Department, Marcelene Merchant were also present at the commissioning ceremony.
Meanwhile, Minister Edghill assured minibus and taxi operators in Region Five that the reconvening of free travel from Rosignol to New Amsterdam Region Six will not affect their daily bread.
During a meeting with the operators on Friday, Minister Edghill made it clear that the service is only free to school children and old-age pensioners.
“The operators expressed their satisfaction knowing that the project will not be affecting their livelihood,” the press release noted.
