Route Pestel-Les Cayes, an opportunity for Josué Bazile with Agro Trans
The future of Haiti relies among Haitians and once the Haitian government is able to provide a stable environment, Haitian businesses will take off for good. An example of that is with the young Haitian investor Josué Bazile who sees an opportunity in the city of Pestel where transportation has been a problem for the residents for a long time. He has decided to bring a solution to the problem.
Grand Anse Pestel citizens lack affordable and regular transit service to Les Cayes and Jeremie. Pestel native Josue Bazile began Agrotrans, a daily service, providing transit in a Toyota all-terrain vehicle.
Bazile was not funded by the government, and says people should not expect government help; instead they should take the initiative themselves to find workable solutions.
The transit vehicle will do double duty as an ambulance when emergencies arise, since Pestel has no such emergency service.
National Commission for the modernization of public transit
Here is the newly created National Commission for the modernization of public transit in Haiti
A national commission has been installed with the purpose of discussing ways in which to modernize the public transit system in Haiti. The commission, called into effect by President Martelly with his Prime Minister and other government ministers in tow, is expected to give attention to creating a framework for incentives and the regularization of the system that is changing, but is still plagued by a deficiency in standardized practices. The big picture is the potential for the commission's recommendations to give support to the bettering of the public transportation system.
