    Guadalupe is just a stone throw away from the MMDA HQ and yet the MMDA guys are just so helpless in doing something about the traffic chaos being caused by the buses there especially along the northbound lanes of EDSA. Traffic usually backs up to the Pasay Road area because of these buses that get in and out of the loading/unloading area with impunity and then again stop to do some more loading at the foot of guadalupe bridge. This is repeated in many other areas along EDSA and results in a tremendous waste of fuel and manhours. With the looming energy crisis and rapidly escalating fuel prices, it really makes you wonder how serious the government is in its energy conservation campaign.

    notorious yang area na yan. pati na din ang edsa-pioneer, at edsa-megamall, at edsa-ortigas.

    teka teka, parang puro sa mandaluyong area ang traffic ng edsa a. bakit kaya?

    sa mga buses o jeep na sala-salabid, walang ginagawa ang mga mmda. pero medyo magkamali ka lang ng pasok sa yellow lane, e mabilis pa sa kidlat na may katabi ka biglang mmda.

    one time pinapanood ko ang isang traffic enforcer (nasa sidewalk ako at kita ko ang mata niya kasi medyo malapit ako sa kanya.) litong-lito ang mata ng mmda sa pagtingin sa plaka ng mga private vehicles hehehe siyempre baka maka-tyempo ng color coding. jackpot siya pag naka-tyempo siya. pero ang bus o jeep na walang pakundangan sa paglabag sa traffic, hindi pinapansin.

    buwisit talaga yang part na yan pre. root cause ng problem is yung mga jeep na pumasok ng edsa sa may jollibee tapos bababa sa ilalim. Traffic kasi pababa dun. nangyayari is 2 lanes na lang matitira for those travelling in edsa, kasama na mga bus dun. bottle-neck kumbaga. minsan as early as 7 am traffic na yang part na yan.
    tagal ng problema yan, di ko alam bat hindi masolusyonan. baka ayaw solusyonan?

    I could not agree more. talagang kalbaryo na natin ang byahe sa EDSA, mula Cubao hanggang Buendia.
    Because of the volume of vehicles present and those in the future, the only option left is vertical development and/or mass transport systems. Hindi naman kasi pwedeng papalaparin pa ang EDSA at dahil sa dumaraming sasakyan sa kalye.
    MMDA is not part of the equation anymore. Traffic cops merely compound the problem by maintaining those loading zones.
    But to build mass transport system, like in all modern cities of the world, we need huge funding, huge foreign funding for sure.
    We should braze ourselves, dahil matagal pang panahong pagtitiis ang mararanasan natin, mga pare ko. join 'em or lick 'em.

    Ganyan na talaga dyan since my childhood days pa (wag nang tanungin if what year, ok?)...madalas ma-stock ung school bus namin sa lugar na yan papuntang iskul, kaya ginagawa ni manong drayber umiikot pa sya hanggang shaw/crossing tapos pasok sa Boni, then tawid sa Makati-Manda Bridge...

    Mas masahol ngayon kasi nagpi-pickup na din mga bus dun sa paanan ng Guadalupe Station, aside from the fact na medyo bottle neck yang lugar na yan.

    Guadalupe is not included in the disputed barangays between Makati and Taguig. Medyo magulong area talaga ng Makati yan. Alam ko sa mga taga JP Morgan madami na holdup sa area na yan [emoji15]

    where does qc end and san juan begin?

    pakiramdam ko once gilmore ends and granada begins hindi na qc pero alam ko qc parin ang granada

    i hate going to greenhills pero madalas invite dinner sa gloria maris so no choice

    tama naman si kagalingan

    for me di stressful mag drive sa gilmore pero once nag umpisa ang granada the stress begins

    lalo after crossing bonny serrano... umpisa ortigas

    Haha pathetic naman tong si Kags. Una asa na lang k Uls or Cathy para mapansin hehe.

    I think Granada is still QC, but when you cross na to Ortigas going to Xavier, San Juan na.

    Kahit sa Galleria alam ko medyo magulo ata hatian. May QC, San Juan, & Mandaluyong dun. So mga tenants, iba iba ang permit depende kung. saan ka naka pwesto sa mall.

    Granada is in QC until it becomes Ortigas Avenue and it becomes San Juan

    I wouldnt say the road is stressful but traffic is usually bad along that route

    I feel the opposite though, its more difficult to drive in N Domingo to Granada than the span of Ortigas Ave to Edsa since its less organized. Theyre both traffic anyway. The grid of New Manila doesnt make any sense in that area

    My bad, I've always called Granada (Sen Jose O. Vera) Gilmore since it's just a straight road (And i cant always remember the name of that road unless Waze is up and running can calls it. Sen Jose O. Vera). And yeah the PC stores part till almost crossing N. Domingo isn't as stressful as crossing Santolan going to Xavier School. The 12am logic at this point applies to almost any part of any City now, I've noticed that traffic is not as bad as pre-pandemic days now 9 to 10pm onwards. I wish the world revolves around me too, so i can leave at 12am for any appointment I have and have a relaxing drive.

    tsikoteers,

    kung nakapunta na kayo ng tondo moriones, sampaloc manila, caloocan tapos icompare nyo sa guadalupe eh magmumukhang maayos yung first three na nanbanggit ko. Bakit inallow ganun cut ng bahay na paakyat tapos napakasikip. Nagulat ako sa tuktuk pala nun eh kalayaan near bgc. Imagine eh sosy place daw tapos ang gilid squammy. Nakakainis yun

EDSA guadalupe
