Cypriots have more cars than anyone in Europe
EXPERTS yesterday called for an urgent transport plan for a unified Cyprus, as spiralling car ownership threatens to choke the island.
By the end of this year, there will be more than one card for every man woman and child on the Greek Cypriot side.

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious by that son of a bitch, Greed, and all the cash that lour’d upon world banks in the deep bosom of banker’s pockets buried.
Sir,
With regard to the letter printed in Cyprus Mail on October 2 from GC Evans entitled ‘Daytime lights: another ludicrous idea from the EU’.
This letter seems to be more of a “let’s bash the EU” effort rather than any serious attempt to justify the non use of Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
Letter to the Director of the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research
Sir,
I have fished the reservoirs of Cyprus for the last two years. I have purchased the necessary licence in order to do so and have always obeyed the conditions applicable to recreational fishing.
Sir,
It is depressingly encouraging when one elicits a response such as the one from Mr Whitney (‘Hamas propaganda needs correcting’, Sunday Mail, September 27). Depressing owing to its tone, encouraging because one has clearly made a point.
Sir,
I have often heard Cypriots and many foreigners complain about Cyprus’ lack of cultural options and how the island lacks entirely any breath of culture.
OK, this is no London’s West End nor Broadway but I think the Ministry of Culture has been doing a phenomenal job with the yearly Kypria Festival – particularly this year!
Sir,
In response to Kosta Pavlowitch’s thoughtful article entitled ‘The importance of language in a globalised world’, (Sunday Mail, October 5).
Sir,
It is obvious that your correspondent, Mr Rodney V. Bird has not read my book The Origins and Evolution of Church – State Relations In Cyprus for the following reasons:
(a) My book was based on my thesis for the degree of Master of Theology which was submitted to the Divinity Department of the University of Glasgow,
Sir,
Recently the Mayor of Paphos and others saw fit to have a no-car day in the town centres. I needed to go to the Post Office, not in the town centre, the traffic was jammed back from Paphos to Chloraka.
Sir,
I agree with Gavin Jones’ letter in which he criticises some Cypriot politicians as being scoundrels for hiding behind flags in the Cyprus problem because “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel”.
He says that we should “wise up politically and endeavour to take a leaf out of Turkish politicians’ way of conducting foreign policy”.
The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
