RESPONSE: In its objective to reach the most (young) people, perhaps
MARG should upload the movie on YouTube and use social media - Facebook,
Twitter to connect with the masses.
The message has to be literally 'hammered' home. Having said that
consider the transient population and their vehicles. Those recorded
accidents and road fatalities are certainly not all Goans or caused by
Goans everytime. So MARG's target audience is not identifiable.
MARG cannot be credited or criticized for these variables that are
beyond their control.

RESPONSE: Only the Traffic Police doing their own job can influence
these variables.
> Secondly, we need more public transportation.
RESPONSE: Whaaaa??? Did you see Frederick pining for those pathogen
spewing buses when I mentioned SkyBus. Notwithstanding the anti-mining
lobby in Goa, some still are in love in Goa's buses.
Finally, dont take criticism of MARG personally. MARG's performance
cannot be measured with the present data. But the work must be done.
Accountability? That's a different topic.
