Manila’s City and Provincial bus ban starts today

[sirkosero]

So, how will the bus operators adjust to this? I'm sure they won't take that sitting down. Biglang magkakaroon silang lahat ng terminal sa Maynila?

kukuha sila ng TRO sa SC malamang...

or lalakihan ang padulas sa city hall...

I agree that this is a good move. The traffic we're experiencing is what I'd call adjustment pains. We'll all get inconvenienced but if it means there will be improvement down the line, then I think this needs to happen.

And if the MMDA is complainig that Manila didn't coordinate with them, what are they going to do about it? Do they have the power to impose on the LGUs? Or is their power only on Edsa?

Ang kailangan magmanage ng traffic e yung meron political will, hindi ung puro beautiful eyes during interviews.

Di ko rin napansin kasi yun date. Pero kung totoo man ito, isang malaking welcome sa akin ito dahil sa dami ng mga balasubas na bus na dumadaan dyan

Sana lumaki ulit ang kinikita ni Erpat sa pagpapasada ng Jeep niya. Kawawa kasi yung may mga lihitimong linya eh inaagawan ng mga colorum na Bus/Jeep.
And masikip ang España, kapag bumalagbag na ang mga bus eh wala nang makakadaan..Maganda ginagawa ni Mayor ngayon. Lumuluwag ang Daan at nababawasan ang trapik..

Let me add a different point of view to this thread for the purpose of analyzing the new rules.

The Manila city government's efforts to regulate buses may be commendable, but taken in a larger context,
I think the solution seems hastily decided.

Good news nga ito for most private vehicle owners dahil luluwag ang mga kalye sa Maynila,
pero malaki ang adverse effect nito sa public commuters na manggagaling sa labas ng Maynila.

Example:
For someone enrolled somewhere in the U-belt area, residing in the San Juan or Pasig area:
Previously sasakay lang sya ng PUB bound for Quiapo, then bababa sa Mendiola.
With the new rules, the PUB cannot enter Sta Mesa area, so bababa sya at lilipat ng masasakyan.
Ergo, the new rules pass on additional burden in the form of cost (pamasahe) and time (transfer time).

The new ordinance also seems to pass the burden of disciplining PUBs to Manila's neighbors Caloocan, QC, San Juan, Makati, Pasay.
It again shows that we need an elected governor for the whole NCR (or at least a stronger MMDA) who will tackle our traffic problems on a larger scale, not on a piecemeal basis.
Paano kung mag implement din ang Makati or Pasay ng ganitong ordinance? Buses will make a U-turn before entering Makati or Pasay border?

The real problem lies in the implementation of road rules.
Load/unload only at designated stops.
No vendors/kuliglig/pedicabs on major roads (should not be allowed at all, we can ban them on major roads for a start).
No loading/unloading when the light is green.
No blocking of intersections and pedestrian lanes.
Do not use roads are jeepney/tricycle/bus terminals.

Implement these basic rules and the whole metro will be a better place to live (and drive) in.

sa welcome ngayon ang bottle neck, traffic kanina from pantranco up to welcome, slow moving talaga, dun pa humihinto mga bus sa may bandang alanganing u-turn katapat ng ford casa. magawan sana ng paraan ng MMDA and Q.C. mayor's office yung part na yun.
