It's really sad because, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people pass through them everyday, people don’t feel safe in them and nothing is done about it. What a waste of good space that could be used to uplift people (with the right design) during their commutes, given the right planner.Nkosinathi Mcetywahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096337355039051335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002924560127473742.post-31199465502349229782012-04-10T14:00:34.905-07:002012-04-10T14:00:34.905-07:00Lindiwe Gugushe:Great analysis, Bree street is the...Lindiwe Gugushe:Great analysis, Bree street is the perfect example of a non democratic street,it no sense on comfort whatsoever and no safety and security!Nkosinathi Mcetywahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096337355039051335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002924560127473742.post-82828101748341815992012-04-05T04:48:33.180-07:002012-04-05T04:48:33.180-07:00LINDOKUHLE MSIMANGO:The analysis was well organise...LINDOKUHLE MSIMANGO:The analysis was well organised but one picture is not that much clear.Anyway it was fine and the cartoon is funny.Nkosinathi Mcetywahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096337355039051335noreply@blogger.com
