Novelo’s will hike bus fares
If you are one of those thousands of Belizeans who rely on the bus to get to work, school, or any other destination, enjoy the ride while you can… because by the end of the dry season you’ll be paying more for your journey. That’s the word from Novelo’s, the nation’s dominant carrier. A press release issued this afternoon cited rising fuel costs and demands for improved service as reasons for the impending rate hikes. The company says it is forming an advisory commission to make recommendations on new fares and has appointed Ismael “Miley” Garcia as the body’s coordinator. The exercise is expected to be completed within three months.
