Do they plan to run buses 24 hrs, 7 days? If yes, fantastic! The government need to stop being stupid and link fuel costs to taxi and bus fares so operators do not have to run to them whenever there is a significant hike in fuel prices. I know proof by induction is hard, but this aint that!

The Mango Initiative is a stored value card. You actually carry the money on the card. Lose the card and lose the money. The initiative is lead by PTAB (Public Transportation Association of the Bahamas) and Reuben Rahming, and over 60% of all of the buses will participate. If you notice, these are the buses that have uniformed drivers, who are professional, who do not drive like a bat out of hell, are all connected by radio, and the buses have advertising on the side, which makes big bucks for the drivers. Props to Rahming for bringing the Bahamas into the 21rst century as far as buses are concerned.
The good news is that the Mango card will be used for newspapers, wash houses, fast food and other things. It will carry up to $99 dollars on it.
Just a correction, for the record. The Mango card isn't a PTAB product. It was created by a Bahamian technology company called Transfer Solutions Providers. It was officially launched on Monday, June 23rd and PTAB buses are the first to use the card. PTAB is a supporting partner in the launch, but isn't behind the technology or the product itself. And its not just for buses - you'll soon be able to use your Mango to pay for just about everything.

So is the Mango card a Modern version of the Suncard or more like a debot card?

I'm assuming it's like a debit card...I haven't heard or seen anything about it though!

Yup...I've even seen a few out west!

I will be going also so I will be picky. When they come to town I always do an activity with them that will last the entire day. I will park my car somewhere central and take the bus to town and back where my car is. Then we are supposed to go to Dolphin Encounter of Adastra Gdns. Mind u they are 4 and 21/2 but they look forward to hanging with Auntie!
One trip we spent the day at Good Fellow Farms lunch and the horses and they had a blast!
...jumping up and down... take me, take me.

I haven't noticed a difference between the buses with PTAB on the front as opposed the ones that don't. They still pass in dangerous places, stop where they please, and cut people off. All PTAB has accomplished is putting those four yellow letters on the windows it seems.
