How can we reduce this traffic jam? I think about it daily in length and breadth when I travel...I should say crawl on the Dubai - Sharjah roads. I am also an unfortunate expat who lives in Sharjah and work in Dubai. Every day, coming to a decision whether to take the metro and then a bus till the Dubai - Sharjah border, then cross the line of control ( That's what we term for that fragile metal strips which separates Dubai & Sharjah emirates....)and then take a cab to my home...or to get dropped by my driver itself take 2 hours. Even though I am a valid UAE driving license holder, I cannot even in my dream drive a car and especially take Dubai - Sharjah road in the evening hours.
When I am in the car, on my way to Sharjah....I dread my decision of not going by metro....But when I get into Metro and take a line bus which gets me dropped near Line of Control, I would have already 100 times regretted about my decision...of using public transport....It makes you bone weary and when you close your eyes, you will only visualize about your inviting comfy bed to just place your weary body and mind...
So where is the solution? Who is gaining? I don't have an answer, but yes who is loosing and what we are loosing I have answers...
People , we are loosing...and what we are loosing? That time we should have spent with our spouses..that time , we could have laughed and played with our children..the time that can heal some broken heart..the time we can build relationships, the time we can visit the sick and the needy....
At the end of the day, for whom are we working for? Why are we taking this stress for? Its for us to have a life of our choice and liking...But if we are in stress, how can we enjoy life?? If life cannot be enjoyed, what is life for?
