EDSA Rehab/Rebuild and Guadalupe Bridge Repair

[Verbl Kint]

The long-delayed EDSA Rehab (which DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon is calling a "rebuild" is due to start on June 13. Meanwhile, the Guadalupe Bridge is set to also be rehabilitated in the last quarter of the year and is projected to last 17 months.

Here are some of the DOTr's plans to mitigate the impending traffic carmageddon:
Free toll, odd-even scheme to be enforced during Edsa rebuilding

1. Free toll in Skyway Stage 3
2. Additional 100 units on Edsa Busway\
3. Additional trains in Metro Rail Transit Line 3 or MRT-3
4. Clearing alternate routes of all obstructions
5. Odd-even scheme in Edsa.

**It is likely that EV's and Hybrids will still be exempted since it was a Republic Act which granted an exemption and it will probably take another RA to repeal (IANAL though).

i am wondering,
will they dredge and fix the entire length of epifanio delos santos avenue?
kasi, some segments appear still good, in my opinion.
also, in my view, the pavement isn't the problem. the problem is the segmental narrowing of the avenue. kung binili na lang nila yung mga gilid, para hindi na kumikitid-luwag-kitid...
fortunately for me, i very rarely use edsa nowadays.

Pinili pa talaga nilang time yung after mag election eh.

2. Additional 100 units on Edsa Busway\
3. Additional trains in Metro Rail Transit Line 3 or MRT-3

I don't think this is enough to take the additional bout of commuters that will be affected by the odd-even scheme. Unless they are now planning to deploy the new MRT3 trainsets that is yet to be put into service.

Are they serious about the odd even scheme? We have ZERO ODD CARS! Even if I borrow from my Lola, wala rin ODD kahit isa. This is just stupid. They had this proposal for more than 20 yrs pero it never lasted one month? I take EDSA a lot

Odd/even, number coding? lol
Diba ito ang purpose kaya para sa mga number coding cars.
Wala ring effect yan sa traffic.

Sa amin namin naman, hassle, parehas na odd number na, same coding day pa! Mas ok pa yata sa inyo na even since you can traverse Edsa MWF. So people going to work during weekdays, mas lugi yung mga odd kasi they have to look for alternative ways.

... tumaas na pala...
i vaguely recall, 5K dati...

but that means we have to buy a new car or get a 2nd hand car with an odd ending PLUS not same coding days as our cars
