MMDA Chairman Tolentino's "brilliant" Ideas to Solve Traffic Problem in MM

[jcRN]

Dapat yung chairman ng MMDA isang typical person who experienced both riding public transportations AND being hassled on the road by these PUVs while driving his/her own car. For sure he/she will fully understand the dilemma and will come up with a brilliant solution that will benefit the majority. Mahirap kasi magimplement against PUV kasi nakaprivate kalang palagi, or mahirap naman magimplement against privates kasi lagi ka naka MRT/LRT/Bus/Jeeps.

Kung matutuloy to, I'll surely buy my own 2nd hand small car like Gets, Celerio, Mirage, etc. By doing that, isa nako dun sa mga magdadagdag ng cars for coding purposes lang. I experienced riding buses/MRT/LRT/Jeeps almost half of my life (by the way, Im just on my mid 20s ) and to tell frankly, ayoko na sumakay ulit sa mga to kung coding ang car ko. Kapag nasanay ka sa convenience ng private, it'll be hard to go back to riding publics.

Ikaw, magcocommute kaba??

agree na agree ako dito. im also on my 20's and lumaki akong nagcocommute lang kaming pamilya pag naalis ng bahay. we just recently bought our first family car because we see the need for it. im working and yung pagod sa work sa hospital, eh dadagdagan pa ng pagod sa pagantay ng bus, pakikipagsiksikan makatungtong lang sa may entrance ng bus, yung standing ka for over 30km + traffic route. MRT? naranasan ko din yan, siksikan at yung amoy na masisinghot mo sa MRT dahil naghalo halo na mga tao dun. Nung nagstart akong gumamit ng car recently, malaking difference talaga. and if ever na ipatupad nila ang twice a week na coding, di baleng magbayad ako ng mas mahal sa SLEX kesa ipagpalit ko yung convenience.

I commute until now, and yes, iba talaga comfort pag nagdala ng sariling kotse. Which is why it's understandable that private motorists are remiss about the plan to increase coding days if it means having to take public transpo.

Which is why kailangan unahin muna na ayusin yung public transpo bago pilitin mga tao na lumipat dun. By ayos I mean greater capacity for the trains and better scheduling for the buses.

^ Agree with this. Improve Public Transportations first. Kung maaayos nila muna yun, madami private vehicle users ang maeenganyo magcommute nlng.

The problem is for now, this will just stay as a fantasy. Sana meron mag step-up to implement this.

They are being very inconsiderate and insensitive. Sabihin natin kumunti nga ang kotse sa kalsada, pero at the expense of greater inconveniences naman. Who here can truly say from the bottom of their hearts that it is more comfortable and convenient to take public transport instead of using your own car? Besides, many of those who have just one car will just go ahead and buy another. Mura lang ang 2nd hand car, kahit mga 150k may matitino na backup car na. And then now that they make it even more inconvenient, even more people will be persuaded to buy 2nd cars and therefore even more cars on the road...
