Close Malls 1x a Week to alleviate traffic?

[alakdan168]

To ease our traffic woos, government officials are desperately seeking short term solutions for the traffic problems. Te likes of closing U-turn slots, banning then lifting truck bans, and the latest, a four day work week for government offices.

Why don't we close shopping malls once or twice a week instead? It is very obvious that shopping malls contribute a lot to our traffic problems.. in the Metro Manila area as well as in provincial high ways where malls are allowed to operate.

This could be done with different variations. Like along EDSA Mandaluyong, Mega Mall closes on Mondays, Galleria on Tuesdays, Shangri La on Wednesdays, or they can all close every Mondays... things like that. Aside from the possible easing of traffic, we also solve our eletricity shortage.

What do you think?

agree, every mondays kasi i noticed that this is the heaviest traffic volume of the week. day off na din ng employees nila, kaya lang no work no pay ata mga employees nila kasi temporary basis lang. still, an idea that is worth trying.

come to think of it, sa morning rush hour, sarado pa naman malls, sa hapon lang affected ang traffic.

May punto si TS. While you're at it, why not ban them PUVs (buses ang jeeps) for good measure. Tiba-tiba junkshops niyan.

I ban na rin yung mga 3-day sale. Traffic really gets bad pag may 3-day sale. Gawin na lang nilang 2-day sale para SAT-SUN lang ang apektado.

Naku, di papayag mga oligarchs diyan... Thousands will be left idle.

Pwede. Pwedeng pwede naman piliin ang araw ng libing. Ang di lang pwedeng piliin eh ang araw kung kelan mamamatay.

Pasara din natin Ateneo para wala nang traffic sa Katipunan at La Salle para wala nang traffic sa Taft/Vito Cruz.

Hampering development isn't the solution. More efficient traffic management should allow a metropolis to prosper without exponentially degrading the traffic situation.

Ba't ba usong uso mga far-fetched ideas? We've never really tried discipline and proper implementation of road rules as a solution.

Agree on this. Kung ano-ano iniisip eh yung simpleng bagay hindi nga mapatupad nang matino.

Naalala ko tuloy sagot ni Juan Tamad nung batuhiin siya nang tanong na anong bagong batas gagawin niya. Sabi niya hindi nga natutupad lahat sa 10 commandments dagdagan pa niya?!

Closing schools hamper development but closing malls for a day in a week??

While we mortals are slugging it out everyday and collectively wasting billions of peso a day queuing in traffic, will it be too much to ask these malls to somehow share these costs. Anyway they rake in billions in profit every year. They should also pass on to their tenants rental rebates to be fair.

baguhin na lang nila operation nang mall.. from 10pm to 10am na lang! parang call center lang sila..

ows? bakit pag sem break at summer wala naman pasok? isara na yan!

[Bin Diesel]

Bawal dapat mall sa metropolis dalhin lahat yan sa mga liblib na lugar para walang trapik.

i think it is not feasible.... it will kill the economy, and it will kill the simple pleasures of the filipinos.
proper and effective management is the best.

[alakdan168]

Banks, the backbone of the economy, can operate for only 5 days a week (except for ATMs) without detrimental effect on the economy, ditto for the Philippine Stock Exchange.

[170kphlang]

submit natin yan kila mr.sy at mr.gokongwei at tignan natin ano ang sasabihin nila :D

[jut703]

Tanong ko lang sa mga pro-closing malls, are you basically saying that you want people to shop less and effectively lower domestic consumption?

The economists will love you.
