UPDATE: WATCH: Traffic at a standstill as taxi operators block main road in Westmoreland

WESTMORELAND, Jamaica — Disgruntled Whitehouse taxi operators have blocked the Bluefields main road in Westmoreland, the main thoroughfare from Savanna-La-Mar to Kingston. Traffic is now at a standstill.

One taxi operator told OBSERVER ONLINE that they are still not satisfied with the outcome of their peaceful demonstration at Savanna-La-Mar, on Monday morning.

Several commuters, including students, were left stranded on Monday morning as the taxi operators, who ply the Whitehouse to Savanna-La-Mar route in Westmoreland, have withdrew their services.
