Bus service will be suspended this morning at 11 a.m. in order "to facilitate the resolution of certain issues of mutual concern to the Bus Operators and Allied Workers Division and the Department of Public Transportation", Government announced yesterday.

The parties will be attending a meeting at noon, a press release from the Premier and Transport Minister Ewart Brown and Bermuda Industrial Union president Chris Furbert advised.

Bus service will be interrupted from 11 a.m. until the meeting's conclusion.

"In apologising to the travelling public, the two leaders agreed that this meeting would be brief and was necessary to ensure the broadest possible agreement on several matters, which once sorted would lead to a safer, more efficient bus operation," said the press release.
