the Rapid rail- is it On or off?

[bluesteel29]

what was the est. cost of this project?

[kurpal_v2]

Still think this would have been a viable venture for north south

[Habit7]

what was the est. cost of this project?

Less than the cost of the fuel subsidy and lost productivity for the past 10 years

[Soul Collector]

A Developed Country Is One in Which Rich People Use Public Transport.

Wish this was done, would have gladly welcomed it.

[wagonrunner]

just the downstream industries created from this made it feasible.

[teems1]

We can't maintain a proper bus service, yet want to implement this?

The Government need to learn to crawl before they could walk.

how could u compare something not implemented or not though of with a past cost? the past 10 years has developed us to where we are now.

By your reasoning we shouldn't build new hospitals either?

Besides PTSC has gone from a 100 non A/C buses to +300 A/C including an executive service. They bring over +100,000 into the city. The next progressive step would be mass transit.

so you're saying it's not possible to review your fuel / service bills for your gas car for the last 10 years, and decide if purchasing a diesel vehicle will be the cheaper alternative for the next 10?

[src1983]

Something that was worth it

Can't maintain the roads either or even get markings done. The cost to maintain this after the capital outlay will be high. Also, they said clean and safe parking lots. Like the parkade on Queen St. ?

the person asked for a cost for the project and he gave a comparison of money already spent. so we shud review all public transport and choose this alternative? at the end u converting to something different right?

i tort he wud compare it to the cost of the pt highway, water taxi, public transport cost.

Yet you still have to wait 2hrs for a bus from port of Spain to sando on a Sunday morning.

[Habit7]

^^^Yeah we need to be sending a +60 passenger bus from POS to SDO every 30mins on a Sunday

[bluesteel29]

it eh ha bus schedule in trini orr?

[kurpal_v2]

^^^Yeah we need to be sending a +60 passenger bus from POS to SDO every 30mins on a Sunday

Yes, yes we do.

it eh ha bus schedule in trini orr?

On a weekend? No

[Habit7]

Yeah for certain routes


I am just also impressed by the production quality, its not great but for Trini standards we going somewhere

[Bezman]

this vid was done in 2010.. production quality from EyeScream Animation is top notch.. i'm sure if redid now it would be allot better.

[sMASH]

i still say more buses, running of biodiesel, produced here.

but any way, in this day of telecommunication, decentralization is the way forward, not cramming every tom dick and harry into the towns

[rfari]

If they had a route from sando to siparia, most likely it would have been built

" review all public transport and choose this alternative?" - it's not eleiminating the others, so why the cost compare there. the cost mentioned was subsidy and time lost.

"i tort he wud compare it to the cost of the pt highway, water taxi, public transport cost."
time = distance / speed. the benefit again is time.
Are you aware of the time wasted over the last 10 years getting in and out of port of spain?

[rfari]

Ollur have time to waste on that cockroach netsket yes
