Salik or alik

Salik.. the new toll system in dubai .. they say it will reduce traffic.. bla bla.. am not bothered.. coz i know it wont help in any way.. all roads.. which were atleast commutable.. are now gonna be .. not so commutable.. yes for sure filled with traffic those are tryin to get out by not paying salik..

now now.. consider the payment.. 4 dhs one trip to a max of 24 dhs.. wen was the last time u as a reader .. got a salary hike.. was it wen the market had an inflation or was it coz salik was introduced.. does make no sense to me.. how is a person who gets harldly any money to meet his days meet in terms.. now now.. where am i going .. RTA says there is not for money... its for people to use car pool and public transport.. well.. lets wait for a taxi .. my odds for a taxi in the morning.. needle in a hay stack.. car pool great idea.. i thought such things werent allowed under the law.. u could be fined.. Dhs.2000 now tats a good bargain.. aint save 4 and pay 2000 to the cops.. well COPS would just say ur using ur car as a cab.. now again.. buses do we even find one??? i never see one..

is there any traffice @ 2 in the night.. well salik still runs u for 4 dhs.. crazy they are planning for a better dubai with people having salaries over a million.. Dubai police aint supporting salik.. not the public.. well i do support salik.. provided they get their act together... more busses.. not cabs.. i aint reach.. please wait till we have the metro atlesat.. now tats another story.. next journel..

wat worries me more.. as my local friends saya it aint salik.. meaning "clear way" its ALIK " get stuck".. the biggest mistake in the history of DUBAI- RTA.

god saves us.. or give us the salaries and work timings of these lucky people @ RTA 10AM to 2PM... aint they working too hard to make the commoner who leaves his home @ 5 in the morning and get back @ 9 in the evening.. thanks to salik and RTA we can sleep on the roads.. they can charge us the rent also.. more money for RTA..


hey has anyone thought abt the poor mans ride... motor bikes?? SALIK TAGS ON THEIR HELMET???????????????????? wow.. wat an innovation... hehehehe.. long live RTA
