FBC Students Raise Concerns Over Overcrowded Campus Bus

Students of Fourah Bay College (FBC) have expressed frustration over the continued practice of loading five passengers per row in the college bus, a routine they describe as both uncomfortable and unsafe.
Every morning at Model Junction, students queue for the bus, which is often filled beyond its seating capacity. Although each row is designed for four passengers, conductors now squeeze in five, citing financial pressures and high demand.
Mohamed, a bus conductor, explained in an interview with Politico:
“We don’t have a fixed amount that we give to our bosses, we only sell tickets for the day. But we are doing this in the interest of the students, because we cannot leave them standing in the morning when they are rushing for classes. That is why we manage five per row.”
