MANILA, Philippines - The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is studying a proposal to phase out outdated vehicles to address the worsening traffic in Metro Manila.

MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino said the phaseout could affect vehicles that are at least 10 years old. He added, however, that there are no plans yet to implement a phaseout.

Tolentino said heavy traffic and problems on the road are mostly caused by motorists’ lack of discipline and not by the large number of vehicles.

He said studies showed that heavy traffic cost motorists an estimated P137 billion last year in terms of fuel and lost productivity.

Nothing to say because the political backlash is too big to handle. Hangang press release lang...

Tolentino said heavy traffic and problems on the road are mostly caused by motorists’ lack of discipline and not by the large number of vehicles.

so he knows driving discipline is the main problem... yet his solution is phase out older vehicles... ang labo.
so kung ganun lahat halos ng PUV's sa kalsada specially yung mga jeep kaya ba nya tanggalin?

[1D4LV]

paktay tayo dyan...
pano yung mga malulufet na mga 1968 na mustang?

imho, its not on the age of the cars.... it boils down on each owner's discipline on going out in a non-maintain and ricketty old car.

[cast_no_shadow]

Maraming mababawas na jeep, bus at taxi! yeheeeee.

Pero i doubt it kung matuloy yan, katakot takot na aktibista nanaman ang babangga dyan.

[chua_riwap]

unahin nya yung mga bulok na jeepneys, taxis.
dami diyan.

[Retz]

parang ganon sa singapore ah.

[dct]

imposible mangyari to. edi parang tinapon lang sa basurahan yung sasakyan mong 10 years old?

[ZENMasterTYL]

unahin muna nyang patinuin ang mga walang disiplinang drayber, both public and private vehicles

[uls]

so babagsak na ang presyo ng SiR

hahahahaha

[lowslowbenz]

isa lang matitira sa akin ...

ano ba ito "cash for clunkers" na promo?

kalokohan ito, i-scrap muna nila lahat na jeep at bus dyan na mga rolling coffins ....... isama na rin nila mga tricycle!

[chua_riwap]

so babagsak na ang presyo ng SiR

hahahahaha

correct!

(dami magre-react nyan, uls.)

[boybi]

Then the government should first stop the importation of used cars including trucks. Paktay negosyo.

[niky]

so babagsak na ang presyo ng SiR

hahahahaha

The'yre dreaming.

Phase out ten year old cars? That would have worked thirty years ago, when ten year old cars were rustbuckets with carburetors, no ABS and a penchant for killing their owners... but today's ten year olds are barely broken in at 100,000 kilometers. All ten year old gasoline cars by the Japanese, Americans and Koreans are EFI, which means they pollute very little and save their owners lots of money in terms of gasoline.

Why don't they just implement congestion charges in the Metro and be done with it?

[c_cube]

lahat ng delivery trucks namin palitan na hahaha!

yun pinakamatagal namin, nakuha namin sa surplus tapos nakuha namin 17 o 18 years ako hahaha!

na doble na malamang yun 10 years

may vision ang gobyerno....


lahat ng sasakyan sa kalye modelo

para mukhang mayaman na bansa ang Pinas

pwede naman nila gayahin yung sa aussie yata na for an "x" old car you are required to get a pink slip or something. yung tipong papacheck mo muna yung vehicle mo during registration sa isang authorized mechanic. parang yung MOT yata sa UK. pero syempre daddag kurakot na naman yan just like the emission testing.

or yung ginawa or gagawin pa lang yata sa isang city sa London na you are required to install something sa kotse mo if your car is "X" old. tipong yung engine ang pinagbabasihan nila. pag wala ka nung gadget na yun multa ka malaki pag nahuli ka sa city.

maganda naman kasi logic, usually new engines(newer emission) ang pede sa mga city while yung mga lumang engines ang preferred sa provinces coz easy to maintain at ang pollution e medyo tolerable.

madedecongest mo pa metro manila dahil yung mga business that required old engine e lalabas na ng metro manila. baka pati yung mga squatter na de kotse e aalis na rin heheheh

At least mas magagamit yung Vios at mas mapapadalas ang pa-service mo... Pinuntahan mo na ba yung Toyota Global City? :D

Before hitting old cars, get our public transpo infrastructure in place first, then remove old, dilapidated PUVs. Then start increasing ownership registration costs for old cars.

Niky has a good point though. Ten year old cars today (2002 models) are already generally much improved as against cars a generation before it (early 1990s).

may vision ang gobyerno....

You mean, lahat ng sasakyan ay... ;)

[uls]

hindi kaya lobbying ito ng mga auto manufacturers? hehe

sila biggest beneficiary pag nangyari ito

[Retz]

Kung maganda lang sana ang ating transport system tulad sa 1st world countries. I see no problem with this.
