PMVs resume operations in Port Moresby

PMV buses in Port Moresby have resumed normal operations today.

Despite their plan to halt operations until their grievance is addressed by relevant authorities, a few buses took to the road this morning and by midday, operations were in full swing.

PMV operators and drivers went on strike on Monday afternoon after one of their colleagues was allegedly assaulted by police.

According to an eyewitness, the bus driver was assaulted by police officers after he had turned his bus at a wrong corner, causing traffic congestion.

This led to more than fifty buses gathering at the Unagi recreational area yesterday to discuss the next course of action.

None of the bus drivers nor operators were available for comment over today’s turn in events.
