A Pointless Death
The day after a protest, those who insisted that Fasan'ny Karàna parking was "the only option that suited them" appear to have capitulated, while transport cooperatives are joining Amoronakona bus station one by one. The protest two days ago cost one person their life. A death that some describe, rightly or wrongly, as pointless, because it "served no purpose," given that the cause defended found no echo with authorities or the general public. The massive relocation of transporters and passengers to Amoronakona is materializing. On the protesters' side, there is silence. The same silence as at Fasan'ny Karàna, now deserted by its occupants. And to do things thoroughly, the traffic jams around this parking lot also seem to have moved to the bypass, much to the satisfaction of road users on the Digue road serving the Atsimondrano axis. Is the matter closed? We will know soon enough. Meanwhile, life is organizing itself around the newly occupied Amoronakona bus station by former Fasan'ny Karàna occupants. There is no question of allowing informal market stalls or metal and wooden stands to sprout like mushrooms, turning it into a place of small commerce, cash points, and unauthorized eateries. For their part, passengers are struggling to adopt new transport habits to reach Amoronakona bus station. Shuttles and urban trains, already operational, will be reinforced by Foton buses entering service from today at noon. So many new routines are gradually being put in place, traffic jams included.
