Conceptual idea from a citizen who has hardships travelling in Colombo.
-If the protesters are seeing a probability of getting fined, then invest that money(if they think they will break the rules twice a year pay 2x550 and get covered for 2x25,000) to an insurance scheme managed by private and funded by the government with the fund of collected 25k fines and an initial funding .
-The insurance scheme to pay the fine amount for the rule breakers if they break the rule and and the good part is toincrease their premium amount by 5-10% to discourage the wrong doing.
-The insurance will work under normal insurance procedures if they fail to pay the premium the insurance will not be valid.
- The insurance could cover 3rd party, life insurance and other benefits so that all the people who are concerned about the society would also invest in this initiative. Hence a good marketing campaign is essential for the launch.
- The fund could be invested in developing the surveillance camera systems to increase transparency of police patrol, new railway lines, adding more luxury buses to covert private to public transport or any other initiatives to increase public transport , have city limit car park to reduce vehicles entering the city, workplace organized staff transports and resolving core transport problems.
- There could be a rating systems linked with the insurance scheme and link with a performance management system. Where higher rated drivers get some motivational benefits.
