KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Jamaica Association of Transport Owners and Operators, (JATOO), and the Transport Operators Development Sustainable Services, (TODSS) will be holding counselling session and prayers on Monday February 9th at 10 am at the North Odeon Ave transportation Layby in St Andrew.
This session is directed at operators in that area who are mourning the sudden and unfortunate death of one of their colleagues.
On Tuesday February 3rd, a bus driver collapsed while driving his bus on Maxfield Ave in Kingston. The conductor quickly took control and sought help at a nearby medical facility on Molynes Road. The driver was pronounced dead upon arrival at the facility.
A news release from JATOO stated: “The present stress level under which public passenger operators work on a daily basis is at an unbearable level and need the human and divine intervention. This session will be conducted by the Reverend Al Miller, Reverend Lloyd Maxwell along with other pastors who are also transport operators. An invitation has been extended to the Transport Authority and the Police Traffic Department for seeking their participation. This will be the first in an ongoing effort to bring counselling to members of the transport sector their families, and friends who experience unfortunate circumstances.
