Dear Editor, After numerous letters expressing my concern about the Demerara Harbour Bridge, the ferry stelling at Vreed-en-Hoop and the conditions that commuters face travelling with speedboats, all of these problems together manifested themselves on Monday and have caused me to be in a state which I cannot express in words.
