Even with the death, 10 days earlier, of three people as a result of an explosion of a gas station in St. Vincent and the Grenadines on May 19, vans continued to use this gas station in the nation’s capital as bus terminal.

Excellent pictures KC. Total indifference. It’s the law enforcers who not doing they jobs.
+ people don’t appear to have any regard for the rule of law. Why would that be? DNA issues?
The police need to ticket them for picking up passengers in a place other than a bus stop
People do not care in these times we living in. Everybody just running after money at any cost. Societies are filled with lawless behaviour and a gross disrespect for law and order. When consequences strike then all you hear is a lot of trivial excuses which cannot bring back a life, or change a dire and fatal situation.
People don’t value life or care about love anymore. Everyone just running after money and nice car, and big house. Many are trading moral values for financial gain; closing down their conscience as if it has been “…seared with a hot iron” to get ahead and get whatever they want.
When will people learn the biblical warning?
“But Samuel declared: …. Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry.” 1Samuel 15:22-23.
May God help us.
Good day all. This is a practice that I know Sol have not and will never condone. They have been trying to stop this practice for years. At the re-launch of this site in 2018, it was even mentioned in opening remarks that they have involved the police in stopping it. Even would also like to see persons using the site as a drive thru short cut is not acceptable.
I am so glad you highlighted this Mr. Chance. Apart from all the reasons you raised that showcase this dangerous practice, I must highlight the illegal practices also. These vans are fuel running in an area where there is active gasoline. The area is NOT a designated bus terminal but dont you dare tell them that if you are going to full up your tank. They will block you and wont move until they are full.
I do not understand why the owners of the Banfield Service Station has not done anything about this. The liability, God forbid will extend to them.
Personally, my own protest is to stop purchasing fuel from this gas station until this unsafe and illegal practice is curb.
Maybe then, the owners will put a stop to it when their revenue decreases!
The minivans fill up at the gas stations when they’re full of passengers. Isn’t that dangerous too?
The mini bus and conductor rule the island. What ever they say or do is ok with them they don’t care for people lives
