The Ministry of transport, the Municipality must take preventive actions. They must ban the fabrication of long remorque-trails
(a long motobike drawing long remorque)that can embark many passengers at low price (more than 20 passenger, especially Garnment workers) and must standardize the size of TUCK-TUCK in the Capital. No standardization of these means of transport wll create anarchy and fatal problems.
