New thinking for Pg's age old problem - congested roads

Should we lament the loss of two projects in Pg........ from monorail to nomorerail & porr or porrah to most Penangites....

While abandoning PORR is most welcome.....giving us a nomorerail system in place of the monorail is a big disappointment..... A GOOD PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IS WHAT PENANG DESPERATELY NEEDS.....

Penang does not have the capacity to contain more cars...(with limited land available and we treasure our green spaces and do no want to turn them into parking lots...where one day we might just have to look for trees in a tree museum....) Public transport is the most environmentally friendly solution to our woes.....

Can our new state Government come up with a Bold, New and Innovative Master Plan to overcome this setback dealt to them by the BN Fed Government?

Is our new PR Government up to it? ..... From what we can see in Tanjong Bungah Zoning issue.....probably not???

If they can, they will probably stay in Government for a long time....

New thinking..... from quotas for cars...peak hours...non-peak hours.... buses....cycle lanes.....water taxis...from batu kawan to bayan baru.....
