Georgetown: Government continued deadlock on minibus fare increase may soon be broken as the state-owned Guyana Oil company reports shortage of fuel at it's pumps countrywide. This is as a result of the infrequent supply of diesel, gas and kerosene. Some of the pumps were forced to halt operations as a result of this situation. The contracted operators are prevented from seeking alternative fuel supply as their businesses suffer huge losses. Guyoil to date has not made any disclosures of what has resulted in the insufficient supply. Guyoil offers the cheapest prices in town just at $950 per gallon. However with the current situation the price is likely to go up. Government will now be forced to review the fare structure if the current shortage persists.
