Did the people of Easter Island independently invent writing?

Wooden tablets containing a language of glyphs called Rongorongo may be evidence that the people of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, created their own writing system without the influence of European language

Not so surprising if it is correct.

My letter in this week's 9th March 2024. When people talk about the car as the only option for transport they are blinded to the possibility that public transport could and should be greatly improved.

Where has it been done and can we visit it?

It was a serious question. As someone who lived in a village for 23 years and saw the public bus service whittled away to virtually nothing - 4 busses a day to 2 (only because of school pupils) and a useless 'dial a bus' Sunday service, where you had to book individual places personally, even for groups. Total nonsense and therefore virtually unused.
I have used the 'dolmus' service in Turkey and wondered if a similar system would work in rural Scotland and elsewhere.
