UGGeorgetown: The Administration of the University of Guyana announced that from Monday, May 12, 2014, only buses registered with the United Mini-Bus Union, Turkeyen Branch, will be permitted to commute on the university campus. This arrangement is a pilot project aimed at ensuring that UG students and staff are guaranteed efficient public transportation service from Monday to Friday between 7:30 h and 21:30 h and on Saturdays from 7:30 h to 17:00 h.

This arrangement is in place for commuters travelling from UG and Georgetown (round trip), and from UG to the East Coast. The new arrangement provides for an introduction of the bus service to the East Coast from 17:00 h to 21:00 h especially for UG staffers

Staff and students are hereby advised to use buses which bear the United Mini-Bus Union stickers.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2014 the university administration and the student’s society signed an agreement with the United Mini-Bus Union, Turkeyen Branch, granting the bus union exclusive rights to the Turkeyen campus.
