There is a need to look into the issue of traffic at times of a disaster.
Police Spokesperson, Sergeant Atunaisa Sokomuri said though people were seen to be taking precautionary measures after the tsunami warning was issued, there were traffic jams in the city.
Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the Fiji Bus Operators Association, Rohit Latchan said we all should be responsible in times of Emergency.
Latchan said that they do not also want to put the drivers and other people's lives at risk by doing the wrong thing.
He said the Association believes that the most sensible thing to do during a disaster would be for teachers to takes the students to higher grounds immediately and make arrangements with the bus companies to drop students home once the situation becomes stable.
Latchan also said that in case of an emergency, students will not be asked for adult fares and dropped to their destination with the student fare they have. He said drivers cannot be in a demanding position at that time as they don’t have a choice.
