The newly elected head of the Public Transport Union (PTU), Gregory Shoy Athill, is leading a delegation to meet Antigua and Barbuda’s Attorney General to discuss urgent issues facing transport operators.
The talks follow a PTU executive meeting on Monday, where representatives of major taxi and bus associations debated challenges including the impact of certain vehicle plates, the rise of ride-share apps, and union leadership.
Athill, also president of the Antigua National Taxi Association, was elected PTU chairman for a one-year term, succeeding Patrick Burnette. He pledged to strengthen advocacy for operators and raise public awareness of threats to their livelihoods.
The PTU said the meeting with the Attorney General is the first step in seeking government support to address the sector’s difficulties.
