Our biggest problems with public transport are reliable availability and horrible final mile connectivity. If they fix those two things (massively huge and difficult tasks) then they may see a difference.
They need to make public transport convenient if they really want to make an impact.

actually the best ppl to ak is the public, because the primary cause of the gridlock we all face is in fact caused by part of the public (both drivers & pedestrians) & their dumb ass habits. here's a few examples:
yuh know your turn off is on the left, but yuh in d right lane cuz is traffic in the left lane & it too slow. So now when yuh reach yuh turn off and you can't move you blocking ppl going past that point, so traffic now builds up in both lanes instead of moving slowly in only one. This happens all over the place, especially in PoS.
ppl parking like mules anywhere they feel, often for real nonsense, like not pulling aside properly and they stopping to go & lime in a bar on a narrow road.
too many schools & other not so high priority institutions, in small centralized areas, that really don't need to be in these areas. Iirc, there is something close to 40 primary schools in PoS, between the flyover & woodbrook. & that is just primary schools eh, we eh start to check secondary yet mind you.
too many color blind pedestrians that can't seem to understand they have to wait for a light at a zebra crossing, so they walking across the road whenever, wherever, and however slow they feel to, futzing around with the free flow of traffic.
too many taxis & ph drivers on poorly managed stands, making all kinda jackass drive on city streets. If you don't believe it stand up by in front HDC building in PoS & notice how free the traffic flows after you pass George St.
is ppl & vehicles is d problem.
Simplest solution-get of some of d ppl off the road, or some of the vehicles, or some of both

So all we have police for is to ambush people in the night around a bend to catch you going 102 kmph ent? However, the simple functions we require of officers to keep morons/situations like those you mentioned in check seems to be secondary. Police only enforcing the law when it convenient to them so if the public doing what convenient to them, well maybe somebody should lead by example and maybe they should have some pride in doing so.
