At least Dubai is being honest about it.

Want to reduce traffic? Don’t let poor people drive.

That’s one scheme being considered by the Director General of Dubai, Hussain Lootah, as the Emirate looks for ways to ease increasing congestion on its roads, according to The National.

“This city is growing very fast and everyone is buying their own car,” he told the Abu Dhabi-based newspaper. “If we keep going in this direction we’ll just have roads and bridges everywhere.”

To solve the problem, Lootah said he is considering establishing a minimum salary requirement for car ownership, hoping to encourage more people to use Dubai’s public transportation.

So what? Just build fucking "roads and bridges everywhere". You're in the fucking desert, Hussain, hello! Don't pretend you have Singapore's problems because you don't.

Singapore's problems are some nice problems to have, if you're a sovereign City on an island.

Just send out cops on extra shifts to shout ALLAH AKUBAR! and randomly hack off the arms of every other driver. Traffic halved in a day.

Still won't make 405 move any faster.
