If they only have a light rail between Portmore and downtown Kingston or Three Miles (Portia Miller Simpson Square) that would be good enuff for now.

Not touchy!

Annoyed at you as you are better than what you are showing lately.

We DONT have the expertise. This stuff is not taught in University. Our people laid off since 1986. Seaga made a blunder there.

This is logistics, scheduling, customer service, IT, engineering, finance, marketing, Operations, maintenace, and a host of other competencies that we lost. JAMAICA had the 2nd raliway system in the world, Cuba had the third!

We have to be smart and humble and KNOW we are the learners here.

Well last July I was staying on
the waterfront and Hotel IT worker told me the expertise is there. He said Ja has the programers at al. The govt. just don't want to give them the break.

I like this statement:This is logistics, scheduling, customer service, IT, engineering, finance, marketing, Operations, maintenace, and a host of other competencies that we lost.

Willi maybe we never had it (expatriates and when they left they took it with them) Can we train our people by coopting them with the chinese?

Yuh think me a prekeh to this?? My Grandfather was Jamaica's FIRST black station master...so railway in my blood, as it is in Beverley Manley's blood!

A hear yuh, Bev's father was a Station master at Port Antonio too I loved traveling by rail.

[Willi]

I keep telling you we have forgotten who we are!!!!!!!!
