Mini buses are operating in the lockdown area in Nadi and Lautoka today with full capacity and passengers are not wearing masks according to Viti Minibuses Co-operative Limited’s founding member, Albert Jackson.

Viti Minibuses is calling on authorities to enforce the wearing of masks as they cannot afford to make trips with half capacity.

Jackson says mini buses cannot make trips with only 10 or less passengers as it will not be profitable.

He says they want all passengers to wear masks and even carry hand sanitisers.


More than 100 mini buses are operating under the Viti Minibuses Co-operative Limited.
