Don't worry about the dyslexia, you are in good company. The Swedish King and Crown princess have both the same problem

The investment cost would be huge. But idea is very good.here is something for us all to get involved with and talk about
think of cyprus with TRAINS yes TRAINS the cyprus coast trains run by cyprus and all money put back into cyprus with station at pophos with the bus station with it with conections to polis as we travel from pophos calling at pophos airport then limassol and larnaca with another main station here so you can go to nicosia on we go again calling at larnica airport then paralimmi and last stop nappa just imagine it if it was
10 euro all day ticket and 5 euro single if u did a million people a year you would advagae nearly 10 million euro a year and this would all go back into cyprus as this would be owned by the government of cyprus i think this would put cyprus well and trully on the map and create a huge amount of jobs and all new kinds of prospects as it would become quicker around cyprus
i now there maybe spelling mistakes as i slighty dislexic <write how i read>sorry
I disagree that Dubai is a good example to compare with Cyprus. That wealthy nation can well afford to build railways to help deal with their severe traffic congestion. Cyprus is a poor nation that does not have the investment money for a railway system that would provide a solution to a problem that does not exist.Dubai is a good example of a car-bound society that is being weaned off their dependence by the installation of a rail network - if the money is there and the government has sense, it will invest in something similar - but I doubt they will have either.
I understand what you are saying but don't think it relates in the same scale. Dubai has double the population in a country half the size with most of them concentrated in 1 urban area.The point is that Dubai was a sleepy, poor backwater - its oil and gas wealth created the boom /congestion and the rail system is part of the solution. Cyprus does have a problem of traffic congestion/environmental pollution/road deaths/poor public transport infrastructure (at least in Nicosia) which will only get worse as the forecast oil and gas boom takes off (if it ever does) and the solution has been identified as an Intercity network, although I doubt it will ever materialise. I understand they're igniting the flares on the first rigs today, so we may get a hint as to whether there will be a gas bonanza or a damp squib...
