THE Ministry of Infrastructure Development’s Transport Infrastructure Management Services Division (TIMSD) has expressed disappointment following damage to the bus stop at Kukum Hot Bread after a speeding vehicle smashed into its benches last week.

Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) in a statement said the incident is a setback to ongoing efforts to improve the city’s urban transport network, which has involved hard work and substantial funding support from development partners.

“These bus stops are more than just benches. They provide shade and safety for passengers, including students, the elderly and other public transport users,” MID said.

The ministry said that careless driving continues to undermine investments made to improve public transport facilities and road safety.

TIMSD appeals to all motorists to drive responsibly, especially during the festive season, and to respect public infrastructure that serves the wider community.

The ministry also calls on the public to take collective responsibility in protecting road assets to ensure they remain safe and functional for everyone.
