St. Maarten Private Eye

How about upgrading bus sizes and forcing the bus drivers to put in place a real comprehensive system serving all areas on a regular basis. Whatever happened to that color coded system Laveist was muttering about? Upgrading the bus sizes and having them all run on used cooking oil from the numerous fryup establishments on the island would be a good idea.

How about taxi cabs with meters, so they are affordable and provide a service to regular people, it seems to me that taxis are not really interested in local business. Licence the Gyspy drivers and make them use meters. I would use them, especially when going to town, I mean, where you going to park anyway?

Or how about putting taxes on vehicles like Hummers, nothing Dumber than a Hummer as they say. I heard from a Brit recently that the little old ladies in the UK wiggle their little finger at them as they go past, implying the driver has a small manhood problem, or small mind perhaps. Or how about promoting hybrids, a small island like SXM is an ideal place to introduce electric and hybrid cars.

Paying close attention to new technology can be very helpful.
