The problem is that parts are so overbuilt that any new transportation alternatives will be hard to implement.

Decongestion is the only viable solution. I doubt fuel prices will stay low, but while they are, perhaps there are those businesses that can take advantage of them and set up shop further out from the city.

Not hard really. Remember that the government is powerful.

It will be EXPENSIVE though.

Decongestion, however, is not realistic. No matter how much you decongest NCR, it will all be for nothing.

Why? Cities reflect our mentality to go into cities. First where the tribes, then villages, then castles and Roman cities, then megapolis.

Instead of decongesting, INCREASE a cities capacity to fix congestion.

If you have a hard on for decongestioning the NCR, then I humbly ask that you give a concrete plan on how to do it.

Take away all MALLS built along EDSA. Let EDSA be as mall free as possible. You'll immediately see the difference after you remove these car magnets.

Increase the capacity ng city na congested na. Yan ang SURE way talaga.

HOWEVER, the DENR should REALLY put out a notice about the CARRYING CAPACITY of the land ITSELF.

AND

The sinking of the NCR.

Abaya logically says Roxas is most qualified.

Santiago believes it's Binay or Duterte

Roxas least qualified to solve Metro Manila traffic problem — transport expert

By*Mikas Matsuzawa, CNN Philippines

Updated 23:45 PM PHT Sat, January 23, 2016



Problems surrounding Metro Manila's mass transit system was discussed in the second election roundtable of CNN Philippines — an issue that voters might consider in the coming elections.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) —*A transportation expert thinks presidential candidate Manuel "Mar" Roxas II is not the best choice when it comes to addressing mass transit problems in Metro Manila.

Roxas had the chance to address the problems in 2011 when he was appointed as secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), but “he failed,” Rene Santiago said Friday (January 22) during thesecond election roundtable of CNN Philippines.

The roundtable discussed problems surrounding Metro Manila's mass transit system, an issue that voters might consider in the coming elections.

Asked on who among the presidential candidates has concrete answers to address the issue, Transportation secretary Joseph Abaya said his vote is for Roxas, his predecessor.

“I merely continued on his programs and enhanced it… Definitely, we want the 'Daang Matuwid' to continue,” he said.

“Just give us time. He'll be reaping the benefits. He'll be cutting the ribbons of the solutions that we're providing today,” he added.

Para sakin isa Lang solution sa decongestion, heavily tax all importation of used vehicle engines for local assembly. Sure na sure yan, decongested

Kahit higpitan lang ang registration ng mga sasakyan, makakatulong na eh.

Yung mga hindi na road worthy na sasakyan, hindi na pwede irehistro. Ang hirap kasi, pag apektado tayo ng bawal, panay ang reklamo. Gusto ng maayos na bayan, pero ayaw sumunod sa tama.

Sa LED bars lang sa motorcycle forums, panay na reklamo nila na ipinagbawal yun. Imbes na sumunod,hahanap sila ng loophole sa sistema, or magpapaawa na sila lagi ang inaapi.

Ewan ko, gusto natin ng maayos na sistema, pero majority ayaw sumunod sa batas.

Alam mo naman kasi ang Pilipino, kahit na bawal kung uubra pauubrahin.

Kagabi patawid ako ng kalsada malapit sa bahay namin and here goes a motorcycle with a green headlight. Susmaryosep. Mas maganda siguro kung pink nalang ung ginawang kulay para edi wow.

That will reduce capacity if you do not build more mass transit options.

Big dreams but little action for Manila’s traffic nightmare | Inquirer News

“This is going to be the most critical problem the next administration faces,” John Forbes, a senior adviser at the American Chamber of Commerce in Manila, told AFP.

Forbes warned Manila risked becoming “uninhabitable” in the next three to five years — meaning people would simply be unable to get around the city — if urgent action was not taken to build roads and rail lines.

But many experts believe there is little chance of many projects going ahead.

They point to the nation’s chaotic and corrupt democratic system, as well as a strangling bureaucracy, which prevent infrastructure development.

A glaring example is the construction of a 19-kilometer light rail line on the outskirts of the capital that was meant to have been finished by the end of last year — but it has not even been started.

Touting the project in 2013, Aquino joked he was ready to be run over a train if it was not completed by the end of 2015. But his government has not even finalized the tender process.

Tuwid na daan my ASS!

Eh di okey walang mass PUV. Ang bibilhin yun mahal na mga hiace, escapade, and Kia and Hyundai buses so meaning mas mahal pasahe. If mahal pasahe, people will think twice commuting on senseless things

Parang Globe prepaid, less telebabad Kung me bayad

Brother, don't go down the drain with OB. We all know how flawed and short-sighted his argument is, but giving it any attention (even in the form of rebuttal) will add fuel to the fire of someone who's only interested in derailing threads.

Maayos naman ang discussion sa thread na 'to, let's keep it that way by ignoring trolls.
