Massive Traffic Jams: Second Day at Amoronankona
Nothing has changed. On the second day of operations for the new bus station at Amoronankona, traffic congestion remains severe. On the first day, some road users still hoped the delays were merely normal startup difficulties for a new facility. But after spending nearly 2 hours 30 minutes to cover barely two kilometers yesterday, drivers and residents quickly lost hope. On Tokyo Boulevard, traffic jams now extend across multiple sections. The situation is particularly concerning since this road was designed to allow relatively smooth and fast traffic flow. The opening of the bus station appears to have created a new congestion point in an area that previously experienced much smoother traffic. Vehicle maneuvers, unexpected stops, passenger crowds, and traffic organization all seem to be combining to turn this road into a genuine bottleneck. On social media, anger is mounting. Users are sharing their experiences and denouncing what they consider an increasingly unacceptable daily situation. The question is now simple: what measures were planned to handle the traffic generated by this new bus station? A transport facility cannot be conceived solely as a departure and arrival point for vehicles. It must also account for its impact on surrounding traffic. After just two days, the situation is already concerning. Authorities must quickly provide answers and, above all, implement concrete measures to prevent Tokyo Boulevard from becoming another nightmare for users. One more problem to solve quickly for the Ministry of Transport, while drivers themselves no longer want to spend two and a half hours traveling two kilometers.
