The growing number of vehicles in the city has raised concerns regarding safety due to traffic jams and accidents affecting all commuters on public roads within the National Capital District. Thanks to the Waigani Police for their proactive measures in identifying and decommissioning defective Public Motor Vehicle (PMV) buses that are deemed unroadworthy. This initiative has been undertaken by Waigani Police within their operational jurisdiction over the past two weeks, aimed at ensuring that PMVs are properly registered and maintained in suitable condition to prioritize public safety while navigating through the city. Under the leadership of Waigani Police Station Commander Inspector Bill Werike, five defective PMV buses have thus far been identified in the Waigani area and subsequently impounded. These buses have been marked with a red sign indicating their defective status, signifying that they should not be operated within the city limit. Commander Werike emphasized that the confiscated buses are currently held by law enforcement while the drivers have been released on bail. He stated that vehicle owners may reclaim their vehicles upon providing officers with valid registration documentation. Furthermore, he indicated that this operation would expand to other routes throughout the city and encouraged residents to refrain from boarding these rundown PMV buses to ensure safety during travel within the city.
