Study finds Trinis spend avg one month each year in traffic

[redmanjp]

so east ppl, heading POS, did u all notice any ease up in traffic since this was implemented? i travel from arima to POS but that's usually after 8:30am i leave home when most ppl would have gone to work already.

That traffic management system clealry not working as it should.
For the past three evenings around 7.30 to 8pm I have been on the west bound to turn north onto Pasea Main Road and the lights keep skipping on giving that movememnt a green. Thought it was a glitch but 3 light changes and no green and I ended up going UWI. Did this for 3 days to see if it was a one day glitch. Not sure if its like for the whole day or only at nights as that the only time I am there.

Also its noticeable that on mornings for the past two weeks the traffic heading east on the CRH is much thicker than it used to be.

The computer program logic probably not programmed properly to the parameters of Trinidad level of traffic, and there's likely an error at that light that not turning green. That's the best decision it making right now as it's programmed.

The results so far then shows to be the sheer volume of cars on the roads going into bottlenecks and traffic intersections, not merely a flow problem.

yesterday i left home in arima around 9 and it took perhaps 1 hr 10 mins to reach edward st POS- at least 15 mins more than usual at that time since the new system was launched so it probably very well have a glitch.

Some of you keep missing one of the biggest reasons that people have cars in TnT.

Trinidad is one of the most unsafe countries in the world. When you have your car, you dont have to risk waiting 30 minutes by the taxi stand, just for some PH with 3 hard back men inside to do god knows what. When the place routinely floods, you dont have to stand by south quay for 4 hours stranded. When a prison break or a bomb scare happen, you dont have to worry about how the hell you getting home.

For most of us trinis, is better to sit in your own car in dead gridlock traffic than risk anything else. When the country gets a little safer maybe that attitude can change.

Exactly. If deyalsingh could get rob who is we.

Yes.

This is why decentralisation is key.

Why do ALL of these businesses need to be in POS? Is POS such a bustling spot of economic activity that it has to have all these commuters there every day?

It almost feels like the daily commute to POS, and workers therein, are the only thing keeping POS relevant.

Where is the study that finds how much the average Trini litters in a year?

Question, why does the average citizen (who doesn't reside anywhere close to POS) absolutely need to go to POS to do anything though. I haven't been to POS on a weekday in years.

[redmanjp]

because of having everything in POS but also lack of digitization- which also means no work-from home for thousands of workers some of whom have to leave home 5am to reach 8am - ridiculous. yuh cud reach tobago faster than that.

To indulge in unnecessary spending.

Always some coffee and brunch sheit with level selfies for the instagram and facebook.

Exactly the government/employer has to justify the lease for the office building.
