I do get where he is coming from. Just that it is not practical for most.
On that front though, im hoping for more practically priced EVs for our market. A practical small city car with about 200kms max range.
I thought the honda e would be a good option but the workmanship they did on that car, lead to a high price. Hehe. Ü
We just need to abolish the self serving metro manila council.
If they really want to give the mmda teeth, then have them execute and manage the transport of metromanila.
Remove it from the hands of lto, ltfrb, and local traffic bureaus. The mixed bags of resolutions and uncoordinated schemes leads to more problems and worse bottlenecks.
The mayors council is to get their inputs, but final say would be for the one implementing.
That said, we have schools here that teach and have professional traffic and environmental planners, i do not, for the life of me, understand why they do not tap the prc and the corcsrned professional organization of envi planners to get proper studies, along with data collection.
They study it, are practicing it, why not engage their services to update the greater metro manila master plan and stick to it. No more lollygagging and tampering by local officials.
Sadly, that is a pipe dream coz no (dis) honest politician in their (un) right mind will let the chance to not leave their mark on the project.
A bike can travel 10 to 30 kph. Nasa loob lang ng metro manila. The metro is not really big if may dedicated exclusive lane. Direcho andar.
pabor na pabor ito around makati/bgc. Every day work grind. Simple mode of transpo.
ang akin lang pag masikip na place wag na ipilit mga tructora monstero, fortu, crosswind, innova.
pero syempre kung byahe probinsya eh magkotse. Alangan naman magfeeling lancy armstrong eh sa sobrang hirap ng tour de france eh nagturok na.
alas!
mmda has to beg its way thru the quagmire that is the metro manila mayors' club.
an emasculated entity, when compared to...
...when imelda marcos was at the helm.
speaking of.
underpasses are very very dangerous places to be in and to pass thru, during sudden rains.
lahat ng two-wheelers ay naka-parada doon, several layers thick... at naka-patay ang mga ilaw nila!
despite their having two large wheels between a frame with engine, they still think they're pedestrians.

oy nung elementary minutes din yung sakit pag tumama sa batalya. Eh syempre maliit pa tapos mataas yung bike. Eh hirap akyatin pag hindi tama patong dumulas araykupo itlog ko!!!!!
minsan naisip ko... kulang nga ba mga kalsada?
or
matagal masyado mga kotse sa kalsada?
dapat maayos ng mga establishments yung pagpasok ng cars sa mga parking nila...
ganun din sa expressway, dapat mapabilis pasok at labas ng sasakyan
nasa QC ako once and yung pila ng kotseng papasok sa SM parking hanggang North Ave na
ganun din sa Makati... inaabot ng Ayala Ave yung pila ng kotseng papasok sa Glorietta
ang problema kasi puro kotse utak ng noypi. Pagkalapit-lapit kokotsehin pa abutin kayo siyam-siyam.
Ako magdedecades na gumawa na ako alternative . PAg punta ako annapolis ang routa ko eh new manila-n.domingo-pinaglabanan-p.guevarra-wilson-greenhills. Ganyan route ko para konti makasabay na bus thats 3times a week papuntang gym. (kung safe lang walang bus direchohin ko gilmore to greenhills)
Walang gastos sa gaso, Libre parking. Hindi ako natraffic. Kailangan ko lang maging maingat na hindi mabilis magbike, hindi nagmamadali and pag may bus i really slow down or punta sa side hihinto. hindi makipag-sabayan. Ano ako baleh.
ako hinde, Kasi nag kokolek talaga ako ng kotse, SUVs lang pala to be specific.
Ewan ko ba parang may sakit ako, gusto ko madami ako cars. I even rented two condo parking lots just to accommodate some of my cars.
I think madami Pinoy nagkokolek ng cars, di lang dahlia sa coding. madami me sakit lol
ang dapat kast magkarun na kayo ng township mentality para hinde nyo na pinoproblema ang traffic.
what is a township? condo living near your work, with hospital, schools, mall, clinics, government facilities like NBI clearance, LTO, DFA etc. supermarkets, mr quickie, restaurants, gimikan andun na lahat
the problem with Pinoys kasi madami kasangkapan tapos andami abubot kaya hinde makaalis sa totoo bahay nila, eh kaya lang ano ba mas importante, time or space or money.
ako priority ko, time, then money, then space. iba priority money, then space, then time. so hayun, dusa kayo traffic everyday.
now, I know wala ako anak, and me and my wife are fitness fanatics so kasya kasya kami condo tapas minimalist pa kami sa gamit, I am not into home theatres or big speakers, we're not into heavy clothes and definitely, even if my wife can cook, I discourage her and just eat out on a weekend basis. so wala sya Malaki Lagermania all-in-one oven, mga kumpleto kitchen appliances like pasta ovens and other big stuff.
we only use Apple devices, no android, no windows. Apple is minimalistic. I even use iPhone 5s as dashcam. The only non-apple device that we have are miniscule 2-way radios that we use for travel.
life is simpler. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
you see everything that you add to yourself, it's bound to make you inefficient later on. Pets, kulungan ng pets, dog food, lazy sofa boy, a big pantry of food stocks, 1 12 seater dining table, tapos pag sa guns gusto lahat meron, pistol, revolver, even shotgun and semi-automatic. look at James Bond, he's effective pero he just carries a Walther minisucle gun, pero asintado. and he looks good in tux.
dapat ganun ang approach sa life.
---
now the exception is if you have kids. well, kung ako lang ha, if I will have kids, I will train him not to be materialistic and how will I do that? kelangan lagi experience and ibibigay ko sa kanya, eating out, travel, shooting in the woods, archery, jogging, boxing, *** kwon do, fixing cars or gadgets. so that pag lumaki sya hinde sya ma- abubot. he will cherish lving more than owning.
Agree ako dito...
dahil sa coding... yung isang house na isa lang sana ang car nagiging 2... once nasanay na si Misis/Eldest child mag drive... 3rd car naman "pang coding ulit"
in the end... si bunso naman ang magdrive since may extra car sa garage...
isang house... 3 cars na dinagdag sa kalsada...
gwin nlang per brand nang sasakyan dadaan sa edsa...ex. Monday- toyota at honda, Tuesday- nissan at mitsubishi, Wednesday- hyundai kia at isuzu, Thursday- toyota at honda, Friday- nissan at mitsubishi, Saturday- hyundai kia at isuzu, Sunday - all american at european car.
magastos ako sa experience, Seda, F1, Acacia, Crimson, Bellevue, Shangirla , Nobu, Soliare, Marco Polo staycations with buffets medalas napupunta sweldo ko kaya wala ako pambile ng mga cars saka mga home appliance at gastusin sa buhay inuutang ko
ngaun ka gusto ko mag-check in sa Okada, pero putsa 14k a night minimum ata
pero hinde talaga ako titigil hanggan't di ko na-experience. yan naman bago ko sakit ngaun
