Some Bus Companies Agree to Purchase Insurance in Quintana Roo

According to Castro, if Belizean auto dealers are required to purchase insurance when traversing from Texas to Mexico, then it is only fair that bus owners and drivers purchase insurance to move around in Chetumal.

On the Phone: Edmond ‘Clear the Land’ Castro, Minister of Transport

“We must respect the law of the land in Mexico and any sensible person should have insurance if they are going into another man’s country.  When we traverse, if when we used to trade vehicles, I used to trade vehicles from Houston to Belize, we must purchase insurance.  Even if it’s a three-day insurance you purchase insurance because we can’t run from Houston to the border without insurance.  We haftu buy insurance even if da fu three days or seven days or the duration of the time.  When we get to the border at McAllen and we travel, traversing through Mexico, all of us buy insurance.  None of us travel that road without insurance.  So I noh know weh di whole lotta craziness come from that because we are accustomed to just run across di border into another man’s country without insurance then da wahn big ting.  Dah noh no big deal.  We need fi buy insurance if we wahn traverse di people dehn highway or dehn streets.”
