wala na talagang immediate solution sa traffic... may nabasa akong article some years ago, meron daw study ginawa ang mga hapon on our roads visa-vis the projected increase in vehicular volume -- this was in relation to the putting up of flyovers to ease the traffic -- sabi nila, di daw kakayanin ng roads natin ang increase ng vehicular volume within the next 5 years (the study was done around mid 90's) ---even with the flyovers wala pa rin daw. so... ayun nga. nagkatotoo yung study nila. kahit sangkatutak na flyovers sa EDSA traffic pa rin. kasi, tayong mga pinoy -- well at least the average middle class pinoy--, we never let go of our beloved cars after 5-6 years. so dadami talaga mga sasakyan sa daan no matter what. at dadami din syempre mga commuters due to population increase. ang resulta --- TRAPIKKKKKKKKK!!!
possible measures to ease, but not solve, the traffic is to improve mass transit systems -- tulad ng MRT natin and LRT. dapat talga magkaron tayo ng mga efficient subway systems or yung mga overhead trains. yung MRT type train siguro ok, pero subway? baka kailangan submarine ang bumiyahe don pag tag-ulan :lol tapos yung mga bus, dapat siguro ibalik yung mga double decker. I remember dati there were double deckers that used to ply the route going to U.P. shempre dapat wala mga kolorum. at most important of all... discipline! sana ibalik nila yung project dati na Pook Batayan... idea ata ni Oscar Orbos yon e. yung bang every intersection merong loud speaker at merong MMDA or traffic police na nagsasalita sa loudspeaker telling the pedestrians and drivers when they're committing some traffic infraction or crossing at the wrong time. tapos may backup pa yun na mga traffic aides giving directions.
nawala lang yun pero it was one of the most effective traffic enforcement scheme I've seen. baka yung ibang members natin dito di alam to', baka grade school pa kayo non, o kaya naglalaro pa kayo ng dyolens non, college na ko non e :P

anyway, pero agree ako sa idea ni Fernando. Dapat talaga kasama PUV's sa coding. Kaya lang narinig ko sa news na pinasuspend na daw ni pres Gloria arroyo. political pogi points sa kanya yon. pumayag daw kasi mga bus associations na wag magtaas ng pasahe. o well..........
