The vendors cause the chaos too. It is a headache having to walk through the towns.

[rosemarielee]

The thing about any situation I Jamaica is talk talk and no action.

[dianneheslop]

It's always when someone gets hurt government get eyes clean up the place mr Scott people can't be so lawless n do as they like

[ripqueenelizabeth]

What is going on in spanish town in terms of the chaotic vehiclar traffic is happening in every major town throughout Jamaica. Jamaica is just simply an unruly country that has no values in law and order. In Other countries, downtowns are preserved with beauty, elegance and civil pride. In Jamaica it's the opposite.

[aristontaylor]

That old town need a make over, modernisation time now put in proper infrastructure

[toyastephens]

Most important the buses have to pay $2500 & $1500 Daily to park in your gas station, did you forget to mention that

[ripqueenelizabeth]

That's the disgusting thing i hate with Jamaica. Authorities don't do their duties like they are in charge. Why someone has to die for them to act? The same groups of people that Jamaica authorities can't govern, adhere to order whenever they visit the US. So why the same people behave unruly in Jamaica? authorities in Jamaica are talkers and no action, and when they do act, it's just a "nine day wonder"

The Major NEED to put in place better side walk for pediatricians

A warning is nothing without consistent action, not just once or twice but throughout the year.

[jenniferthompson]

Also the vendor them take up the side walk and the phone case man

[greatbill]

Politicians just chat! Police just cha!
Criminals, taxis and minibus drivers just do...as they please! INFRONT THE POLICE!

[dwaynehall]

Di minister of transport is to be blame too .too much road license less people traveling what dem expect. More seller dan buyer

[valeriecato]

Where was the Traffic Police, Mayors etc whrn this chaos started????

[yvettebrown]

Why wait for a tragedy, why were you not doing your job Mr Mayor.

[gregoryharris]

This man promoting his business he has no compassion he charge the taxi 1000 per day and 2500 per day for buses dam lie

SMH 🤦🏾‍♀️ I hate seeing ppl talk and don’t know. I live in and commute Spaintown daily and best believe the town is not structured correctly and as a result most ppl will not go to the “bus park” because of how far it is from the town. The journey to the “bus park is not compatible for persons with disabilities. Not only that but for the volume of persons who commute on that route daily, the park is too small and over populated. I’m not justifying the accident because I was actually in Spain at the time and it was very tragic (condolence to the family) and I strongly believe that not only the bus man should be charged but also the taxi man who blatantly parked on the soft shoulder not allowing the pedestrians any access to walk freely.However the bus men and taxi operators who abide by the rules of the owners of the gas station are not to be penalized, and in all honesty the gas station operator is doing a good job because before they had access to the gas station all the taxi would park on the soft shoulder and wait until the police came to speed off and that can also cause a lot of lives.

[michaelpalmer]

These mayors in jamaica dont know their responsibilities as leaders of these cities in jamaica

[daverose]

The Government of Jamaica needs to put plans & place for taxi & Bus force the Taxi go in the Bus Park

[lenawaugh]

Smh ! this is a long time situation in Spanish town and how long you guys are going to do it for? The law in Jamaica has no teeth to enforce it. SMDH .
