Twitter Web
Facilitate communication between passengers,
PSV owner and the authorities The Solution
By linking passengers with PSV
owners, we 'miraculously' & cost-
effectively multiply the number of
'incorruptible' police officers on duty
NTSA can identify &
punish worst-rated PSVs
and reward good ones
Passengers can identify &
avoid worst-rated PSVs
