Finally on September 7 directly after the biggest Tourism Festival “Teuila Festival” the road switch from right to left took place. Both Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are holidays to keep too many cars off the road. What will happen on Wednesday when all people are going back to work and many kids back to school is still to be seen.
The fact that most busses still have their doors on the wrong side allowing people to step out directly in the middle of the street is very worrying. It has been said that the busses with the doors still on the wrong side are not allowed to drive anymore. The question is how people are going to transport themselves to their work in Apia as most people from the back villages are relying on busses?
Lets hope that all drivers still remember to keep left after a late night at the nightclub. Samoa Observer has more reading to offer. Also read about the Bus owners concern.
