BBA Condemns Violent Bus Driver Altercation Seen in Viral Video

The Belize Bus Owners Association (BBA) has strongly condemned the conduct of two bus drivers involved in a physical altercation that was captured on video and is now circulating on social media.

The footage shows one driver boarding another bus, issuing threats, and physically assaulting the other driver following an incident on the highway. The BBA described the behavior as completely unacceptable, especially within a public transportation setting.

“Acts of violence, intimidation, or confrontation have no place in Belize’s bus industry,” the association stated, adding that such actions endanger passengers, undermine public confidence, and damage the reputation of the sector.

The BBA also clarified that neither of the bus lines involved in the incident is a member of the association. As a result, the BBA said it does not represent or affiliate with the operators shown in the video, and their conduct does not reflect the standards, values, or code of conduct upheld by its members.

Despite this, the association said it plans to reach out to the operators involved in the interest of public safety and industry stability.

The BBA stressed that it will not tolerate violence or misconduct within the industry and will continue advocating for standards that protect passengers, operators, and the reputation of public transportation in Belize.
