MMDA to lead EDSA blessing today, to lessen accidents

This type of intersection will improve the flow of traffic at EDSA:

Or we can just burn all the buses down.

My pure city driving FC last week went down by 1km/L just because of this EDSA traffic.

It will only work if you have enough land to develop such a setup. Unfortunately it's either we don't have the land, or the owner does not want to sell (and puts a building in that part of unused land you wanted) or the MMDA cannot get hold of proper funding to get it done right in the first place.

Good luck evicting the big buildings standing at those spots at some places. One is a People Power shrine, another is a government building. And yet another is a powerful TV station...

If only we could...

Edit... Underground pala... Still, the problem is the basement parking and foundations in those areas... Lots of stuff to get in the way of the depots.

What would work out is simply a proper queueing and dispatch system. Simply to match the number of buses at each stop with the number of passengers... Which minimizes the stationary time of each bus and speeds up traffic flow.

Even an underground depot will have issues like existing structures that may be affected and weakened by underground diggings/construction. Example is the EDSA/ORTIGAS intersection which badly needs a proper bus depot, yet there is no place for it.

And isnt that Tropical Hut property beside SEC still a deep, open pit?

imagine all of this infrastructure which will cost billions of pesos, para lang sa populist policy na nakakaawa ang mga bus drivers

why not just employ Fascism here, ubusin na lang sila mga weak people na naapektuhan tayo mga productive people of society. di ba pwede ganun na lang

I'm no expert but my guess is building segregated underground bus stops at main intersections will be cheaper and more effective in keeping traffic moving compared to the plan to build a highway on top of EDSA.

And a better flowing traffic will benefit everybody: bus drivers, the commuting public and the private vehicle owners.

Do that and the leftists will lead a revolt of the masses.

True. Frustrating, isn't it?

Singapore was able to build underground stations and tunnels for its subway.

dun sa maliit na access will just create bottle neck pag liliko mga kotse dun, making each main highway having only 2 effective free flowing lanes.


about sa bus stop sa ilalim, sa dami ng bus, mapupuno din yan hahaba ang pila aabot sa labas, then magsasakay sila bago pumasok sa bustop dahil sa mga atat na pasahero then magsasakay pa ulit sila dun sa pag labas.

disiplina sa pasahero at driver at bawasan or i control ang bus sa edsa and there will be peace on earth. :D

Sa Fort bonifacio, sinusunod ang bus stops and mga tao naka pila sa bus stops pa.

Whenever the designer of the Tableta PHUV makes a comment, I take notes.

Drawing revised.
- The opening between the main road and the service road is now bigger.
- The service road is now wider at the intersection.
- Bus stops located under EDSA (if there are space constraints).

The layout of the proposed bus stop prevents chaos.
- "first in, first out" principle (walang singitan)
- segregated according to destination

Singapore is a small country but their sidewalks are wider than ours. Pati industrial areas nila may sidewalk at greenery.

Sa Pinas, puro illegal vendors who pay Kotong to cops.
