According to a press release from the Public Works Ministry, commuters were informed that the Parika/ Bartica Online Ferry Booking Service has commenced in keeping with a promise made by the government to improve ferry services. They can now book online to travel from as early as next Monday, December 5, as the online booking of tickets commenced at 12.00 hours on Friday.
Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, urged those persons travelling between Parika and Bartica to utilise this service and make their travel experience easy and hassle-free.
“As we develop new roads and bridges, build new highways and rehabilitate stellings, our aim is always for the improvement and enhancement of the lives of our citizens, so we are happy about this online system coming on stream to join the Parika/Supenaam which was launched back in October, because this system will alleviate a greater percentage of the stress associated with travelling, especially for those who travel more frequently. As a Government, we are ensuring that we do exactly what we set out to do, which is improving lives.”
The Minister congratulated the team at Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD), the Chairperson of the T&HD Advisory Board, and local technology company, V75 Inc, who developed and implemented the platform.
