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

[vinj]

i hope it succeeds though.

Ditto on that!

in fairness sa macapagal ave. speed limit. it's still being properly enforced, nahuli kami nang officemate ko for overspeeding yesterday...

guess the speed? she was running 73kph for 384 meters which they showed sa camera laser gun nila... WTF? kaya nga siguro nata traffic dyan sa macapagal, ang luwag nang daan, ang kupad nang mga sasakyan, they should at least increase the limit from 60kph to 80 kph.

for your own safety po ang 60kph, daming lubak sa macapagal

given the number of people in the picture, kahit ako makikipag unahan. may araw na so for sure nagmamadali lahat yan makapasok. swerte nung mga taxi siguro jan. :D

pwede naman po gumising ng mas maaga para di sumubay sa buhos ng tao. apart from the huge volume of buses, kawalan ng disiplina ng mga commuters ang dahilan ng trapik. kung saan bawal dun sumasakay at bumababa.

buwiset na bwiset ako sa mga taong ayaw maglakad to the point na ma inconvenience mo ibang pasahero at ibang motorista.

Hahaha! Mas mabilis pa nga ang mga bisikleta during early morning weekends.
Tama na raw 'yung mababa ang Speed Limit para mas maraming violators na mahuhuli.
Mabuti na nga 'yong "mabagal", siguradong iwas / bawas disgrasya.

Meron na nga silang laser gun para ipakitang speeding ka nga.
Dati kasi daming kabataan na doing sprint racing... well, siguro nga nabawasan na rin. :thumbup:

+1 . If it's a free-for-all, it's very hard to follow the rules or even common courtesy.

They're really not into informing the general public about the details of their plans...siguro binigla nila para walang makakontra(don't see the point though, since they're gonna do it anyways).

Di ba pwede i staggered yung pag implement yan, i.e. isang linya ng bus muna, see what happens, adjust, add another line, etc.?

[mac103]

Medyo naguguluhan ako dito sa MMDA SW bus terminal... Does this mean walang provision for transfer to city buses/jeeps/vans doon sa loob ng terminal? Passengers have to get off the provincial bus, cross the intersection via footbridge, and wait for a bus at the NB lane of Roxas Blvd? That entirely defeats the purpose of having an interchange station. San napunta yung city buses na ginagawang terminal yung area in front of Baclaran church?

If MMDA plans and implements the Southbound (Alabang) and Northbound (Balintawak) interchange terminals this way, it is bound to fail. What's the sense of having "interchange" terminals kung puro inbound provincial buses lang and walang outbound city buses?

[ronki]

Temporary lang daw yan, yung pinaka planong terminal, sw, south, north, 2015 pa matatapos.

Tamad kasi mga Pilipino. Hindi maglalakad yan ng isa o dalawang kanto ang layo para lang makasakay. At gusto mala-taxi ang bus o jeep na sinasakyan nila, dapat tapat mismo ng destination bababa, walang paki kahit maging cause of traffic ang pagbaba nila. Kaya wa epek ang bus stops satin, wala ring susunod. Bababa kung san gusto.

isa din sa mga problema talaga yan, reklamo agad ng reklamo porket na pag lakad ng konti. swerte nga natin at napaka dali mag commute sa atin di tulad sa ibang bansa na pag ka lalayo ng mga bus stop at may oras pa. di tulad dito mayat maya may bus at ang dami means of transportation. mga utak talangka kasi vast majority ng pinoy kaya ganyan.

Kaninang umaga sobrang traffic papunta baclaran paglabas ng coastal road. Yung mga nagbabaan sa Coastal Mall nakita ko naglalakad sila papuntang baclaran. Nakaka-awa nga sila tignan. Gusto ko sana magsakay kaso lang wala ako makita maganda.

[donbuggy]

First day of the Coastal Mall's Southwest Integrated Terminal of MMDA...

Third world na third world ang Pilipinas.





Toa Payoh bus interchange in Singapore. Passengers wait in line inside the airconditioned building. The MRT station is underground below the bus interchange.

When will we have this kind of terminal?

Ganun din sa Hong Kong like the Tung Chung bus terminal. From there you can take the MTR through CityGate or other buses to the Airport or different districts sa island.



Yung problem dito, beside being nowhere near a mass-transit train or LRT yung Bus Terminal, there are no efficient PUVs that will take you the different parts of MM. Puro PUJs lang with very limited routes aabutin mo...

[reactor]

maganda ang idea...kulang lang at hindi napaghandaan kasi decongestion lang ng edsa ang inisip pero na shortcome sa magiging outcome. may central bus terminal nga pero malabo para sa connecting trip mo unlike sa examples ng singapore at hong kong na andun lahat mrt, busses, taxi though sa central termina ng HK need mo maglakad from the pier, bus stn to mrt at least alam mo andun lahat na sasakyan.

sa baclaran ayun nasa gitna na ang mga commuters kaya perwisyo sa lahat. sana i guide din ng MMDA ang commuters na huwag mag agawan at magtulakan instead matuto na ang riding public ng courtesy sa kapwa same with the different bus companies...abangan ang mga susunod na kabanata

[glenn_duke]

Abolish the pork and use it to set-up an interconnected govt bus line system sa Metro Manila, with new aircon buses not surplus buses.
Slowly abolish the privately run buses in Metro Manila. Hindi dapat iasa sa privatesector ang mass transport, puro pansarili lang nasa isip ng mga putragis na mga bus operators na ito. Walang disiplinang mangyayari kung profit at hindi service oriented ang mass transport system.

Kala ko, pagputi ng Binay. :D

[donbuggy]

Meanwhile, in Singapore...
They're renovating the underground bus terminal at Woodlands. This is their temporary bus terminal. Temporary! See how orderly it is. Better than our bus terminals.




Passengers waitlng in line for the bus. Bendy buses in the background.
