  1. I can't understand the logic behind the route chosen. It doesn't seem to make much sense. Did I understand correctly it's only 2 times on each h day mentioned? Also seems odd!

    It would be more beneficial in my opinion if there were a few criss cross routes linking banks, supermarkets and medical support facilities and other public services places especially to assist the elderlies. For example the tower road section between the ferries and the turn-off onto QSS road including its steep ramp would be more helpful compared to the QSS Rd -tunnel- Tigne seafront section. There would be more such examples .
    If you offer me 3 copies an A-3 size map of the same area I'm quite prepared to take out some time and draft a few alternatives for your consideration Kind Regards Kees de Jong (99 29 11 33 )
