Carpooling registration to be made compulsory | Khaleej Times
Possibly the dumbest thing I've heard all week. You're fining carpoolers in a city already stretched to the breaking point by congestion that will only get worse as it gets hotter and more people rely on more cars because there is no public transit? Seriously, what bus service there is here posts no schedules, or even a list of stops. And the Roads and Transport Authority's solution is applications and this:
"Once we get the information, we would first evaluate it and investigations would be conducted. Investigations would be intensive and could take time."
When I mentioned feeling like we're back in elementary school needing signed permission slips to do anything, I wasn't exaggerating.
