In a significant move to revolutionize public transportation, Belize’s Ministry of Transport has announced an ambitious initiative to introduce 150 new buses into the National Bus Company’s fleet. Spearheaded by Transport Minister Dr. Louis Zabaneh, the project aims to modernize the country’s aging bus system through a public-private partnership (PPP) involving 21 operators. To secure funding and technical expertise, Minister Zabaneh recently led a delegation to Taiwan, where the Taiwanese government pledged substantial support. The Taiwanese authorities shared insights from their own 2002 experience of consolidating and improving public transport, offering valuable lessons for Belize’s modernization efforts. Minister Zabaneh expressed gratitude for Taiwan’s assistance, emphasizing the trip’s success in garnering manufacturer interest and securing commitments. The project is on track to meet its timeline, with plans to finalize PPP agreements and draft protective legislation by the end of the year. This initiative marks a pivotal step in enhancing Belize’s public transport infrastructure, promising improved service quality for commuters.
