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

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

Dahil wala pa yung boss niya

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.

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.

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.
