Been there many a time and the buses still pump out crap . Lack of maintenance and no intention of improvement due the government does not put pressure on these bus companies , maybe because the government are given either sweetners or back-handers to keep them quiet. Reality is these buses are death traps that would be condemned in Europe.

If Mauritius was serious in improving the health & safety as well as the enviroment , these buses should of been destroyed years ago.

Disgraceful .

It would certainly cost a lot of money to change all the buses. Right now i believe that cost is more important than the environment. I would disagree on the affordability on the country to fund the change though - considering all the financial aids Mauritius is being granted: the European Union or other economic partners on environment issues. This is clearly an environment issue. The will is clearly not there.

Because it would cost a lot to change the buses. And as you said Mauritius is a "sooo small" country, I doubt that it will be able to afford to replace all the buses.

Well, it's buses in general, not only those of a specific company...

Mauritius is sooo small, i don't get it why you people are not using buses with alternate energy like hydrogen, solar energy or gpl. i don't think a bus in Mauritius drives 12 hours non stop to get in a destination. Even so, a diesel engine smoking like that is good for just one thing - the scrap yard!

the govt is clearly to be blamed for not doing anything... if only these public buses could stop polluting it'd encourage the rest of the population.
