Reminder: We live in Guyana not USA

“This is people’s money. They can invest this money elsewhere, but they put in a service that saves you $20,000 of lost time if you are in a minibus. In the USA, you have millions of people using bridges, you have people paying $5 sometimes $6 to cross a bridge and they have the volume. It costs the same to build a bridge over the river but if you have a million people using it rather than 10000 you would recognize there is a big difference in how much you would pay and earn from these structures,” President Jagdeo highlighted.

Guyana 360: Mr. President, we hate to drag yuh bald head out of the clouds, but this is actually the land of many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many waters and not Uncle Sam.

In this land of many waters, wages are below par and your Government find it very difficult to increase wages, muchless give allowances. The freaking toll is high and that's the bottom line.

Admit that when you had that fat rat with the cat voice negotiating, he failed to remember that Guyanese would not have been able to pay the inflated cost to cross the bridge. There was a mock study, no consultations with the minibus associations and other such groups.

Apart from the few remaining strands at the back of your head, all you wanted was to have a structure that resemebled a bridge os you can ride out your last term in style. Go ahead ride the very folks from Comrade Cheddi home town tha blindly supported you.

At no time did you or your fat puppet consider the toll factor properly. Since the toll has already been agreed to and included in a promise to the investors, why not let Government subsidize part of the guaranteed revenue to the investors and lower the bridge toll.
