Reflection • The transportation by Micro and especially Comby drivers are known for being

irrrespectful of transit rules and are extremely aggressive in soliciting for new passengers. They will stop at any part of the street to pick up passengers and will race other micro drivers to be able to get more passengers, causing sometimes serious accident. They should have more laws and punishments for those who do not respect the rules and traffic police. The transports are necessary but dangerous if you don´t know how to use them. Go and do the Technical Revision that will help reduce pollution, driving in slow speed will help having less accidents or deaths. Drinking is the main reason of accidents. Respecting traffic lights and safety rules and with your attitude you will make of this planet a better place to live in. In transportation we have to change and help our whole world. My opinion is that people must respect transportation and safety rules so that transportation is not dangerous and we reduce accidents, I like transportation when people is caring with rules, the environment and the world.
