During a recent public interactive session where he fielded inquiries from local residents, Prime Minister Gaston Browne of Antigua and Barbuda confirmed that the longstanding substandard physical condition of bus terminals across the capital city of St. John’s will be formally added to the Cabinet’s official meeting agenda for high-level deliberation in the coming weeks. The announcement came directly in response to a concerned caller who raised complaints about persistent structural flaws at the public transit hubs that have posed accessibility and safety risks for thousands of daily commuters and commercial bus operators. Browne explicitly outlined a clear division of accountability for the state of the bus station facilities: he affirmed that the national government bears full statutory responsibility for addressing underlying structural defects and rolling out targeted infrastructure upgrades, while emphasizing that passengers and licensed transit operators share a collective duty to prevent unsanitary conditions by properly discarding waste and refraining from behaviors that lead to litter accumulation, debris buildup and unhygienic operational environments. Notably, the prime minister did not release any specific allocated budget figure for the proposed renovation works, nor did he issue a concrete implementation timeline to outline when construction or refurbishment activities would commence, leaving key details of the upgrade plan to be finalized following formal Cabinet review.
