Not all but a lot of people have already bought an extra car for "coding" purposes. So where is the reduction of car volume?
Having an extra car for "coding" use wastes money that could have been use elsewhere like invested back into a business. Assuming the coding car average value is P400,000... a hundred families each with a coding car already means forty billion pesos just sitting in their garage, used only once to twice a week!
Simply getting rid of the traffic coding might hurt initially with a sudden increase in traffic but the economy should benefit greatly looking beyond the initial consequences.
