Kadian Morgan States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 19, 2014 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Swansea Satellite Office, Osbourne Store, Clarendon. My duties as an Inspector include the monitoring and regulating of public passenger vehicles and prosecuting for breaches of the relevant Road Traffic enactments. 
On Wednesday the 18th day of January 2023 I reported for duty at 6:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on a summons operation that was scheduled to take place on the said day. I was accompanied by fellow inspectors, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority, and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Clarendon.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were properly attired in our respective uniforms. My duties for the day entailed Inspection of PPV’s documents and drivers to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
I along with the team assigned were conducting vehicle stop and inspection along Clarendon Park, in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 11:50 am I observed a Toyota Coaster registration number PJ5679 coming toward my direction. I executed the number one signal to stop and pull over to which he complied and I approached. I cautioned the driver, asked if he was operating to which he stated “yes,” and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence.  Destination markings for Savannah-la-mar to Kingston route were on the front and back of the vehicle. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Glen Muir of Lot 29 Horizon Park, Santa Cruz, St. Elizabeth. 
Thirty-one adult passengers who were identified to be paying passengers were observed in the motor truck and there was no off-duty/chartered sign. Condition 5 on his road licence stated that the seating capacity should be 27 passengers excluding the driver. This was pointed out and read over with Mr. Muir.
He produced all his documents. On his road licence it was identify that this same vehicle registered PJ5679 was licenced as a contract carriage to carry school children. All documents received were found to be up to date. I cautioned the driver and informed him that operating contrary to the terms and condition of his licence which was an offence and the vehicle can be seized. The driver stated “a charter mi get fi carry dem people yah inah town man”. I also informed him that of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for excess passengers 31/27.
A Summons was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday March 22, 2023. The summons was read over to Mr. Muir he accepted and left.
