Political Rights and Freedoms?

It has been mentioned several times on the news about the JUTC (Jamaica Urban Transit Company) wanting to take over the UWI and UTECH chartered bus routes. As they declare that the UWI and UTECH buses are infringing on their routes and as such they have the right to take them (the routes) back.

Now this to me is utter rubbish. The JUTC will never be able to run the route as smoothly as these chartered people do. Isn't this the government that declares that nobody will be poor nor rich, hence live comfortably? How then can they take away these bus drivers' livelihood? Wouldn't they then be added to the vast amount of unemployed persons in Jamaica?

The JUTC also told them (the bus drivers) that if they do not give up the routes they will have to pay them (the JUTC) $13, 000 per seat, per year. Now in this day and age with the approaching American recession how is it that they will be able to provide for themselves and also pay them this money each year?

I really think the JUTC has passed its place and should allow these people to do their job. They are hired by the Universitites to safely transport their students. The JUTC is just greedy. They want all the routes, yet do not have the required number of buses to do so. Joan Gordon-Webbley and her team need to take a back seat and allow the people to do their job and to sustain themselves. She needs to focus on sorting out JUTC's problems instead of trying to "mash up" other people's lives.
