one thing saipan's government can do to improve the economy is open up a public transportation system. the government could get some buses, which don't have to be fancy or expensive, to transport people from their home areas to places around the island like where they work. bus stops could be put up in areas of the island for people to wait for the bus that will transport them to where they wish to go.
this would especially help people who can't afford to pay for gas, considering how much the gas price is being raised. the government would own these buses and would be spending quite a lot of money for gas, and the people would be saving money from not buying gas or cars. But if people were to be to ride the buses often, they would have to pay for bus passes or tickets with money that would go back to the the government to pay for the gas and maintenance of the buses.
the transportation of people from one part of the island to a farther area would cost the government a lot of money, but it would cost the people more money as well. for example, taking people from kagman to garapan and back again. buses would have to travel half way across the island to transport people there and back. but the people who are being taken by the buses half way across the island would have to pay more for bus passes. bus passes for certain distances would cost more money, which means the extra money from the longer distance bus passes would go back to the government and the money would be used to pay for gas for the buses again. and the bus cycles wouldn't have to run all the time, but at times like morning, noon, and afternoon/evening.
i think this would help the economy because the cycle would continue on and on. many people would benefit from this-especially the people who can't afford gas-and left over money from the cost of bus passes would be kept by the government to use for other expenses. it would not be a problem for the government to charge people low amounts of money for bus passes because so many people would be buying them.
