A case of even and odd
THE EDITOR: Can you believe the idiotic plan developed by the minister to evacuate Port-of-Spain in an emergency? Several metropolitan countries that have similar traffic problems have introduced a plan that works. Simply: All motor vehicles with licence plates ending in an even number are allowed in the city on Monday/Wednesday/Friday; Odd numbers on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. The city limits are carefully marked and police are placed on the boundaries and all routes to enforce the rule. Spot checks are made on an ad hoc basis and the rule is strictly enforced. This will create inconvenience to some people but it will encourage car pooling and sharing and reduce the traffic in our city by 50 percent. The simple solutions are the best and the easiest to enforce. Over to you Minister. DAVID L MARTIN Maraval
