伯利兹于2026年3月1日启动了政府拥有的公共汽车系统,将私人运营商合并为一个统一的网络,无现金支付和电动公共汽车。 Belize launched a government-owned bus system on March 1, 2026, merging private operators into a unified network with cashless payments and electric buses.

伯利兹国家公交公司(NBC)于2026年3月1日成立, 将Westline和James Buses等前私人运营商合并为政府拥有的统一系统。 Belize’s National Bus Company (NBC) launched on March 1, 2026, consolidating former private operators like Westline and James Buses into a unified, government-owned system. 经过一年多的规划之后,这一过渡旨在改进服务的可靠性,消除过度拥挤现象,并采用Digio钱包,在全国推行无现金支付制度。 The transition, following over a year of planning, aims to improve service reliability, eliminate overcrowding, and introduce a nationwide cashless payment system using Digio Wallet. 伯利兹市已经使用电动巴士,预计三至四个月后全面推出。 Electric buses are already in use in Belize City, with full rollout expected in three to four months. 虽然国家广播公司现在有17家运营商运营,覆盖65%的市场,但以伯利兹公共汽车协会为代表的一些独立公共汽车运营商仍然置身于该系统之外,理由是咨询不足和缺乏预期利益。 While the NBC now operates with 17 operators and covers 65% of the market, some independent bus operators, represented by the Belize Bus Association, remain outside the system, citing insufficient consultation and lack of perceived benefits. 政府向他们保证,如果他们符合安全和服务标准,他们的行动将继续下去,关于更广泛代表性的讨论正在进行中。 The government has assured them their operations will continue if they meet safety and service standards, and discussions about broader representation are ongoing.
