All Public Service Vehicle operators must cease operations before 10pm tonight to ensure that their staff can get home after work and fully comply with the provisions of the nationwide curfew starting from 10pm to 5am as part of the COVID-19 measures.

Land Transport Authority CEO, Samuel Simpson says all buses, taxis, minibuses, licenced carriers must be off the roads well before 10pm and may not operate before 5am.

Simpson says operators must give staff sufficient time to get from and to work outside of the curfew hours.

He says there will be no exemptions from full adherence to the curfew restrictions no matter what the excuse.

Simpson says people are advised to contact their local bus, taxi, minibus, licenced carrier operators directly and seek information about first and last services outside the curfew hours.

Penalties for breaching curfew regulations are five years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine, or both.
