As reported by the Bermuda Police Service, on Sunday, 23 January, nine buses at the Department of Transportation (DPT) Dockyard deport were vandalized, and fare vaults were removed and destroyed. DPT has moved the buses to headquarters to begin repairs. The police investigation is ongoing, and any persons with information about the incident are encouraged to contact the Bermuda Police Service on 211.
"This is a selfish and unfortunate incident. The theft and removal of the fare vaults have put further strain on the DPT bus fleet and diverted resources to repairs. I want to thank the DPT team that rallied to repair six of the nine buses yesterday, avoiding service cancellations today." said the Hon. Lawrence Scott, JP, MP Minister of Transport.
Minister Scott added, "The temporary bus schedule introduced on 14 January remains in place this week. DPT will provide an update on 28 January on when the full bus schedule will resume. For more information and review the bus schedule www.gov.bm/bus or call 292-3851."
