There is so much discussion about a mass transit system between the Government and Opposition and all we are getting is talk and more talk. Let me add my two cents.We already have the Priority Bus Route from Port-of-Spain to Arima for buses and maxi taxis. Convert that to four lanes and make it a freeway, removing the traffic lights and installing overpasses in the main areas.
Government owns most of the lands between Port-of-Spain and San Fernando. With proper planning, it can build another four-lane freeway Priority Bus Route to San Fernando without having to acquire too many private properties.With the completion of these two major links, they can continue to plan off shoots to other areas for the travelling public.
