MANILA, Philippines - The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is studying a proposal to phase out outdated vehicles to address the worsening traffic in Metro Manila.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

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.

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