First you make sure your public transportation is sufficiently attractive to cause a displacement (here's a term you must be familiar with ;-)) in traffic. Just making it free without making it comfortable first will not do the trick. Then and only if need be you fine tune with toll fee etc. Did you know that the fumes coming out of exhaust pipes will cause saturnism - http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/saturnism - that is cause you to become stupid?Sanjay Jagatsinghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386926374110998199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362251218705862710.post-33240089376334406972009-07-10T00:05:09.547+04:002009-07-10T00:05:09.547+04:00Making bus rides free is not a solution to congest...Making bus rides free is not a solution to congestion. I'd rather see a toll fee reflecting the actual price of the road upkeep and making consumer pay petrol and kerosene at the international price without any govt subsidy are both ecofriendly and dissuavie mesures to make Mauritians use public transport.<br /><br />Then, as you said, you need yo make the bus passenger friendly with comfortable chairs, quick and convinient paying system, accessible to disabled and old people, CCTV, and bus times (to be posted on each bus stop and of course)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
