What about the employes who are barely earning small salaries and have to pass by SZR everyday ? its ridiculous..how can it be a way of encouraging public transport in a county that lacks good public transport so badly !
ReplyDeleteEvery day I go to work down SZ Road it's going to cost me 16 dhs x five days a week = 80 dhs = 320 per month = 3840 per year!!!! There are the other altnerative roads to take but can you just imagine the chaos on those, and its so so bad even now!!!!!
