Maybe, just maybe, they should have practised what they might have been taught in CommonMediaKnowledge101 and tried to show the other side--Maktoum Bridge, the Greens and Jumeirah roads and then left it to the viewer to assess their opinion on Salik.flaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608444097834518404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-21958974181233133642007-07-02T01:13:00.000+04:002007-07-02T01:13:00.000+04:00i reckon they should have chosen a name for the to...i reckon they should have chosen a name for the toll system AFTER testing it out..BuJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155592127392703647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-32164925140671183192007-07-01T23:18:00.000+04:002007-07-01T23:18:00.000+04:00I hate their slogan: 'So smooth, so Salik'!I hate their slogan: 'So smooth, so Salik'!flaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608444097834518404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-32750058282254546872007-07-01T23:13:00.000+04:002007-07-01T23:13:00.000+04:00We flew in to Dubai airport this evening.

The taxi was over one hour late getting there, and blamed Salik. The road he was supposed to take to get around Salik was too backed up (don't know which road that was) so he ended up going through one of the toll gates, earning him a nice fine, I'm sure, since he said the taxi company had not got Salik tags for all their vehicles yet, and his taxi was one of the ones still without one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-7763805285341954282007-07-01T20:45:00.000+04:002007-07-01T20:45:00.000+04:00I don't know why they name it salik?, if they're g...I don't know why they name it salik?, if they're going to make it in all dubai entrances they can just say a "charge for enter dubai" the paradise of high rent and traffic and No parking space :D<BR/>or best name is "Gaip Halik",<BR/>"Gaip" means pocketAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-67613668184949778602007-07-01T19:32:00.000+04:002007-07-01T19:32:00.000+04:00poochie, it was the same in Al Sufouh Road all aro...<B>poochie</B>, it was the same in Al Sufouh Road all around Media City.<BR/><BR/>The chaos was predicted by just about everone except the RTA, who insisted it was going to help traffic flow.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-23351384287066242052007-07-01T18:42:00.000+04:002007-07-01T18:42:00.000+04:00Salik:I a living in the Greens.

The Greens is totally gridlocked, the WHOLE DAY. I am happy to pay for free roads, unfortunately my way to work takes me NOT through the congestion zone (as per Salik definition) but through the REAL congestion zone which is now all around the greens. Getting in and out was already very bad during rush hour, now it is a nightmare.<BR/><BR/>Sad, very sad.<BR/><BR/>TPAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149557683750483016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-7635955024892694312007-07-01T17:54:00.000+04:002007-07-01T17:54:00.000+04:00Perhaps we can find all the answers if ever, we co...Perhaps we can find all the answers if ever, we come to know objective behind the whole circus.<BR/>May Almighty give wisdom the "experts"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
