		<description><![CDATA[@ TimBuc,

Why not now, visitors have been riding mopeds etc for decades, this is so overdue. With any luck the America&#039;s Cup will be a success and other events that hopefully follow, is that a bad thing?. This will give visitors more options getting around and with other improvements in our vacation package hopefully encourage more to return. Obviously a bad thing right?. 

If it helps to make money for the businesses that operate them so what?!! That&#039;s how businesses works, companies that do well hire more staff etc so what&#039;s wrong with that? How many people do you employ??? I bet no one. 

You sound like another ignorant and delusional pay cheque earner who is full of jealousy that someone else might get ahead, crab meet your bucket.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Double S - INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS. This is the business that sent Tourism into free fall in the 80&#039;s. Did you not know this? Guess not! This is why BDA is considered the #1 reinsurance (or close to it) capital of the world! Other reasons included cost, complacency, competition from the South who mirrored our success, etc. Unfortunately the Government of the day chose to ignore again what made us uniquely BDA, and rather than attempt to recapturing the basics of what made our Tourism work, starting with local entertainment, affordable hotel package, upgraded hotel facilities, etc., it Rather it chose to focus primarily on IB. Wouldn&#039;t listen to the Bermudian people and still don&#039;t! Now it has come up with an ignorant proposal to introduce cars to tourists, which you and others think will enhance our Tourism product. Do you really think rental cars will increase Tourist numbers. Go lay down and come up with something more sensible!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@ smh,

Well in &#039;foreign&#039; its 4 to 6 lane highways and motorways, unfamiliar road signs and road rules get it?.I doubt it. Here it&#039;s mainly stop &amp; give way signs which are universal btw. Outside of roundabouts and &#039;our highway&#039; at the foot of the lane there&#039;s not much to cause most visitors problems. 

I&#039;m Bermudian and have driven in Canada and the US and average 3/5,000 miles a year driving the length and breadth of the UK without much hassle and no accidents. But according to some our visitors are incapable of driving small cars on a 21 sq mile island because we drive on the left and our speed limit is slower than most towns and villages. Well British visitors wont have a problem then will they? Unless of course we have a different left! LOL

Whats so hard about small roads and slower speed limits, I guess it&#039;s too dangerous for them to have small cars so we&#039;ll let them have bikes because it&#039;s safer???? Your comment suggests small island = small minds. LMAO]]></description>

So, you work on Front street. or you have come in to town to conduct business at say Butterfield bank, but lo and behold, the car park is filled with the little cars rented by the cruise ship passengers.They left them there overnight, and are not getting up to move them at day break!

And I agree with the Oppostion here. Who&#039;s going to benefit from this?

Yes, you got it.Automative Solutions and Colonial
