    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.

    It's really enforcement of what is in place. Same with ridding colorum vehicles.

    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.
