Public bus stops will be closed in Dockyard beginning this week as part of an attempt to improve traffic congestion.

A spokesman for the transport ministry said that stops by the North Rock car park and National Museum of Bermuda would no longer be used effective from tomorrow.

He added that all buses would now end their runs at the Clock Tower Mall. The spokesman said: “All buses will turn around in front of the Clock Tower Mall and service the bus stop on the waterside of the roadway.

“All passengers disembarking and boarding in Dockyard will do so at this bus stop.”

He said that signs would be placed at the three stops to alert the public to the changes. He said the change was “part of an initiative to improve the traffic flow and pedestrian experience in Dockyard”.
