    Baka part of easing the traffic problems a possible declaration of 2 days coding for every car. Thats about 40% less transport in MMla.

    I got lucky. I left the CBD at around 930 and was in QC at 1030 via several backroads.

    It won't work as people will always have to move about.

    Fixing mass transport is still the focus here as that's what will encourage us to leave our cars at home or a transport hub parking.

    Of course im wary about opening subdivisions and i do hope they first address the vehicles that slow traffic on the streets; that be the cars who stop and park, PUVs and PUBs that refuse to load and unload properly, etc.

    Hmmm, coding for first digit & last digit? Yeah like what Cathy said, people would just buy more cars (well those that can afford).

    Lagot ako if this happens because both of my cars have the same first digit. I will be forced to buy another car. I'll just get a 90s car or any car not over 150k

    coding? those who can, will just buy more cars.
    the car dealers already nominated gen. maganto to sainthood years before... will they do the same to ... this time?

    car pool? it will just create a new profession... professional passenger. the classier the outfit, the higher the PF.

    i... have no answer. except... hatakin ang illegally parked vehicles! give the roadway back to the motorist, and the sidewalk back to the pedestrian!

    We must also remember that the Skyway constructions play a role on why EDSA is pretty much bad 24/7. Id expect a little relief once this is done.

    At BGC, when one vehicle stops on the main road to wait for a passenger, it slows traffic considerably.

    the original schedule talked of two years. it's already one year. it does not look like two years will do it, to me. let us hope the new leadership will convince the constructors to be true to their word.

    so far, all these things can be accomplished without the benefit of emergency powers.

    bakit di nalang isara yung buong kahabaan ng tatamaan ng construction, for a month for example.
    tapos imbis na bidding, eh kunin lahat ng contractors at sabay sabay gawin or salubong. walang delay etc. para tapos agad.

    My solution is cheap and readily available. Electric buses attached to overhead power lines. No big railway expenses, only comparatively cheap power lines. Plus the added bonus of the buses staying in their lane. Then outlaw all the PUVs where these buses have lines.

    The drivers of the disenfranchised PUVs can be hired to drive the electric buses. I just don't know about the operators... Maybe move out to the provinces which need the transport? 😄

    Political will is the only large obstacle for this scheme.
