Why wouldn't they? That's where they get a big chunk of their kotong.

[leodawesome]

Do you think its feasible in the near future that a skyway type of structure be placed on top of EDSA? Just curious and thinking forward. Or should I say daydreaming.

Sino ba yang Intones nayan
ang SELFISH naman nya
edi kung malate mga big bosses ng kumpanya
di mga boss mahihirapan yung mga simpleng manggawa
bakit?
Dahil wala pa yung boss niya
kaya hindi pa nabibigay sa kanya ang kailangan nyang
gawin edi ang simpleng mangggawa ang
nahirapan

always seeing the glass half empty eh?

-----------------------

so how are we going to bring our old relatives (grannies and the like) the the hospital in another city? bus? ayaw nga magsakay ng bus drivers ng pilay at matanda kasi mabagal sumakay/bumaba, gusto ratrat ng ratrat.

actually, i've always wondered kung possible na maging isang giant circumferential road ang EDSA at R1 road. kaso malabo eh.

1.1 Only one of those chokepoints is caused, in part, by private vehicles... that's the Magallanes flyover... where cars crossover to U-Turn left onto EDSA from Sergio Osmena... blocking everyone coming up the flyover from EDSA>

di ba sinara na dati yun? ang option nalang ng vehicles from osmeña is straight to SLEx. nagtataka nga ako bakit binuksan eh.

Alam ko may plan na gawin sa edsa yan.perocas to when e yun ang isang malaking ?

[Mguy]

What they need to do is to address the choke points. Where in the world can you see a road having 7 lanes and in just 1 kilometer, becomes only 2 lanes? (Guess where is this)

Too risky.

As it is, all our eggs are already in one basket. All the buses, jeeps, cars and trains pass through EDSA. Imagine, then, what would happen if there was an earthquake and all four layers of EDSA (overpass, regular road, MRT, EDSA-Skyway) collapse at a single point?

That's why it was important to complete C5... which is no longer enough, either. You need to divert people away from EDSA to ease congestion.

[Mguy]

I think we need to evaluate also the use of tunnels. I was thinking that the government should invest in a TBM that will dig drainage/sewers first then use the same TBM to create roadways.

[crosswind]

Actually C5 is too busy already
and I heard there lots of modus there already

Who agrees that the source of traffic during rush hours are the private car owners...

Exactly, monseratto! Ariel Inton and his supporters should go to the main bus stops and observe. They don't even have to go to Cubao. They can go to GA Tower in Mandaluyong, or Guadalupe to find the reason for the bottlenecks. Hell, they can even stand in the middle of Edsa at these places, they'll have time to avoid the buses. Why?! These motherf-ckers are parked side by side!

[machinepistol]

I agree. These buses are the real culprits on EDSA. Time to create a two bus company market for ease of enforcement.

[cast_no_shadow]

revoke all those effin franchises issued!

kunin na ng gobyerno ang public mass transpo

[Kasparov]

I would compare this Inton guy to the ***y model alyzza. Pareho sila. They showed to the Philippines how hollow they think.

[badkuk]

This is kind of like bringing down lawlessness by imposing a 24-hour curfew.

Sabi ng LTFRB Bright Boy, kita mo naman na cars yung nakatraffic daw sa likod ng mga bus. So cars ang problema.

Ugh. Inton knows exactly what he is saying and unfortunately, for right-thinking people, it's the same sort of short-sighted, crooked dumb-*ss idea that we've come to expect from government which bans selling hammers or wearing caps in malls.
