Toronto (where I once lived) does have pretty good public transportation. As a 
foreign student (i.e., no parent's car to borrow), it was pretty much a 
necessity. Still, using it was a bitch - specially in the freezing winters. 
Waiting for a bus in -20C weather for 20 minutes is not something I recall with 
much fondness. The Toronto Metro area is large and sprawling, and its 
underground subway system is quite limited, which means that one has to rely 
extensively on its surface (slow, cold) bus system. Actually, even utilizing 
one's own private transportation in a snow storm can be downright scary. As 
much as I enjoy snow and skiing, this is one Goan who has no desire to move 
back from the land of the Free to the land of Freezing!

Fred's comments regarding public transportation  - also known as the last mile 
problem, are not unique to Goa. Coverage of remote areas is often spotty. 
Travel times are unacceptably long etc.

mmdm, After hearing about how nice Canada is, could we have some way
of (i) shifting the entire Goan population to Canada or (ii) trying to
get solutions that work in Goa itself?

Would appreciate any pointers in either direction. Best, FN

PS: Marlon, commuting between the towns in Goa might be easier, but
not if you're here permanently, have limited time in which to do one's
work, and need to cross to diverse areas including villages.

I'm sure anyone who has been a long time commuter in Goa would agree.
In places like Saligao, the number of buses on the
Calangute-Saligao-Panjim route have remained static for over 20 years,
or even reduced in number!

Dear Bosco,

Thanks for your email on the above subject. Guess you are keeping yourself busy 
with sending email. Now it is easy since it does not for me through Goanet.

Hope your family are doing well. Hopefully in 2010, we will be able to visit 
Canada.

Bye for now.

Anjinha and Alex

  However, the media has been publishing the title of
 the movie in different names:
 
  PALTADACHO MUNIS (The first word is Mangalorean.)
  POLTODDICHO MUNIS and
  PULA POLTODDICHO MUNIS
 
  We need to know how exactly the title is written so we
 can translate it
  contextually, because, in the third version above it
 means 'A man from the other
  side of the bridge.'
