In light of the APNU+AFC government’s attempts to realise lower fares for commuters crossing the Berbice River, the opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has called for a “significant reduction” in the fares of the ferries plying the Supenaam to Parika route.
“There must be equitable distribution of resources and wealth across the country,” the PPP said in a press statement issued yesterday, while calling on the David Granger administration to reduce the ferry fares forthwith.
In the statement, the party said the cost to cross the Berbice River Bridge return with a minibus and 15 passengers is $1,900,
