After almost a year of raising funds, the Easy Rider Motorcycle Club Saipan bus stop along San Vicente Road was unveiled and held its ribbon-cutting ceremony last Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

According to Easy Rider vice president Gregg Sablan, the prefabricated bus stop was constructed in just three days at a cost of $9,800, compared to the estimated cost of concrete, and it can be easily relocated, making it a versatile option.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one here (bus stop), it took only three days to construct but it almost took us a year to come up with the funding. Altogether it costs us almost $9,800, this may be a pilot for other future bus stops to be erected, cause it\u2019s not only typhoon-proofed but is also cost-efficient… We were initially planning on building a concrete bus stop, but it costs $25,000 to $30,000 to with build concrete. You can also pick it up again and relocate it to another destination,\u201d he said in an interview.<\/p>\n

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by Easy Rider members, Precinct 1 Re. Roy Ada (R-Saipan), Vincent Seman Aldan (Ind-Saipan), Diego Camacho (D-Saipan), Joseph Arriola Flores (Ind-Saipan), Public School System Pupil Transportation director Shawn San Nicolas, and some members of Matua Riders Group and Parekoy Motorcycle Club.<\/p>\n

Fr. Rey Rosal initiated the prayer session that included a request for divine protection for the students, commuters, and all those involved in the project and was followed by a sprinkling of holy water.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Easy Rider president Alex Tudela thanked the attendees and said that he welcomed contributions from the public and government to achieve their goal of putting up more bus stops.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome any contributions from the public and government that can assist us because that\u2019s our goal is to try to put more shelters for the kids. That is for their safety,\u201d said Tudela.<\/p>\n

In his impromptu message, Roy Ada thanked the Easy Rider Motorcycle Club Saipan for the bus shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for taking the initiative. This is truly a testament of your commitment to the community… and again on behalf of our Precinct 1, thank you very much for this shelter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

San Nicolas also thanked the group for funding the bus stop through their hard work and members donating time and skills. He added that it\u2019s been a bus stop that they\u2019ve been looking for a long time due to a lot of people requesting to have a bus stop directed in that area, and now it has become a reality.<\/p>\n

The ribbon cutting was concluded with a CNMI Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services water salute and a group photo.<\/p>\n
