PORT-AU-PRINCE.— Dignité school transportation company received 26 new buses on Friday, as part of strengthening the school transportation service's vehicle fleet. The company's general director, Didier Benel, personally received the delivery of these new buses.
These vehicles will be used to continue providing transportation for candidates during the official NS-IV exam period, promised Didier Benel, the company's general director.
Given the relocation of exam centers due to the inaccessibility of certain areas, the buses will be stationed at boarding points located in Clercine, Carradeux, Delmas, and Pétion-Ville. Agents from the Educational Police (EDUPOL) will be present during the journeys to ensure student discipline.
The school transportation service has been present for students throughout the year despite enormous difficulties, Benel emphasized, expressing his satisfaction at being able to increase the number of school transportation vehicles.
The official also stated that the alarming security situation prevailing in the country forces the service to limit its movements and modify certain routes, noting that some buses had been broken down in the regions for about three years due to difficulties in towing them to the institution's central garage in Port-au-Prince.
“When I arrived at the head of Dignité in December 2024, I had found only seven buses; without counting the new acquisitions, we now have 17,” noted the General Director, announcing the probability of launching the new school transportation year in a provincial city.
Since the proliferation of criminal activities, the presence of school buses has been rarely seen on the capital's streets. The acquisition of these new buses, thanks to a partnership between the Haitian state and South Korea, was expected to restore hope, especially for high school students. However, the security situation remains unchanged, raising questions about the service's ability to achieve its objectives for this year.
