Letter to the Presidential candidates about Public Transport
To: Mr Christofias, Mr Tassos and Mr Kassoulides
Dear Sirs,
I am writing this letter to all three of you after years of suffering and because I don’t see any attempt to actually resolve the issue.
It is not because it takes me an hour to get from the Kalispera area to Santa Roza. It is not because on the way I have to avoid at least 10-15 lunatics who either don’t stop at the traffic lights, don’t use their indicators when changing lanes, create their own lanes or cut off the road in order to make a u-turn. It’s not because pavements are used as parking space or as roads. It’s not because the noise and environmental pollution has skyrocketed. And it’s certainly not because of the drunk drivers and the fatal car accidents.
No, it seems that none of the above is a good enough reason for you to take any action. I demand decent and clean buses so that I can listen to podcasts on my ipod. I demand trams so that I can play my PSP and DS games. I demand regular and punctual buses so that I can read my books.
I demand a promise right here, right now. And I don’t mean your usual ones. I mean a real promise!

I hear you dude … without public transport the following things would be useless to me:
ipod
DS Lite
PSP
Books
Magazines
Deodorant
Watch
Newspapers
Still hate public transport though.
