![]() Bus and Taxi drivers and their crew in Papua New Guinea'ss Lae City were told to go back home, have a shower, dress properly and return to work. This is part of Lae Metropolitan Command Traffic Unit's initiative to address improper dressing in the city. According to a Senior Traffic Officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, they are sending drivers and crew home this morning to wash, wear good clothes, be neat and go to work or will be charged for improper dressing. "This is not the first time but we have been doing this where we hold drivers and crews and charge them for improper dressing," he says. The officer says they usually use Traffic Insurance Notice (TIN) but the Lae Traffic TIN was closed and they are waiting for Road Traffic Authority's (RTA) TIN and they are only cautioning and discharging those who do not abide.
"Those who do not abide, we arrest and detain them," he said. A PMV Driver, Patrick Savo who fully supports what is happening says Drivers and Crew make money everyday but they never think of their personal hygiene. Savi says this should continue on for sometime as Lae is a Metropolitan City and the drivers and crews' appearance to the public is important. FM 100 / PNGfacts Also read Comments are closed.
