Reading Time: 4 minutesTransport Minister Daryl Vaz has strongly defended the government’s Rural School Bus System amid what he described as disingenuous and politically motivated attacks by the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP).

Vaz stated that although the opposition has sought to turn the bus system into a political football, he noted that the bus system is not a matter to be politicised because it benefits all rural parents and students regardless of colour, creed or political affiliation.
