Me again. Today's topic is Traffic Congestion.
The ONLY time Trinbagonians enjoy Bumper to Fender traffic is on the road,Carnival Monday and Tuesday or, in a fete..🎵And it must be blasting from speakers mounted on a truck.🎵🚚
It is NOT acceptable any other day!
And according to Machel, it does not require sitting in a vehicle nor is it associated with any kind of frustration or stress. Actually, the way M M brings it across it seems quite exciting!
Take a listen below.
Back to reality
Nobody does be grinning from ear to ear when they see vehicles lining the Highway big Monday morning. Nor do we jump out our vehicle, in glee, and buss a wine when the traffic making you late for work..
We don't discuss traffic with delight.
You ever hear a Trinbagonian say:
"Neigbour, that was a nice piece of traffic this morning eh ?, can't wait for it tomorrow morning! (and smile)👀
That and Iwere George winning Road March, this year, are synonymous for -It simply doesn't exist.
Traffic congestion is so bad in Trinidad that those stuck in traffic utilize this time to; make life decisions, do their make-up ( I'm talking full works here- foundation and contour) and complete their five (5) chapters for their dissertation.
Yes, it's that ridiculous!
It could never be right that we have to sit two (2) hours or more in traffic, when it would only take a maximum of one hour, before we even reach the office. By the time you reach the office you feel as though that is your second job. Imagine you just arrived at work and you are already bracing yourself for the traffic that is waiting patiently for you after work. This happens throughout the country. How can we deal with this?
Let's do like Michael Jackson and start with the Man in the Mirror.
How can we become proactive in the reduction of traffic congestion in Trinidad and Tobago?
1. Take Mass transit

Oh, don't forget the Bus.
2. Don't Rubberneck
I don't understand why we slow down, without fail, when we see an accident or a breakdown.
What is so fascinating about a flat tyre?
If there is an accident and you stop to take a pic or a video , it is possible that you maybe preventing the paramedics from reaching on site

3. Pay attention on the road
While you may be bored in traffic this is so not the time to be applying lipstick and keeping back other drivers in the process..(This is just an example people, I'm not blaming any particular gender)
Question time..
How many hours do you spend in traffic per day ?
What is your contribution to the reduction of traffic congestion?
