    Didn't we predict this was going to happen?

    They should have built more hiways instead, but I suppose the tenders weren't as lucrative.

    No no no. This country needs a decent public transport system, especially in the largest city. Building more highways is not a long term solution. In fact it's not even a short term solution to mass transit...

    I cannot believe people are still saying this is a white elephant. If you look during peak hours the buses and trains are busy, something like this is not going to be fully implemented in 2 years. Yes they need more feeder buses and the network needs to expand but if you look at what happened in London the landscape changed to incorporate travelling by trains. Businesses and shops positioned themselves to be walking distances from stations. People moved closer to areas with stations.

    Give it 20 years to mature before you start complaining like an idiot.

    What Gautrain can maybe do is give people a clear road map of how they are expanding so people can start to be excited about were its going and how it will affect them.
