I watched a show in motoring today last weekend in which one of the issues discussed by the hosts was lifting of the coding scheme.

The rationale was that the scheme has been becoming ineffective as years passed as Filipinos learned to adapt to the rule by buying a 2nd vehicle. Thereby instead of having 1 vehicle limited once weekly you know have on the average 2 vehicles per household being used at least 4x on weekdays. Which increased congestion as more and more small vehicles become affordable as well.

A decade ago this was an effective means of limiting vehicles on the roads but now its becoming a reason for buying a second vehicle.

Rather than buying 2 vehicles per household lifting the rule will encourage families to just maintain 1 vehicle or at least majority of pinoys.

What do you think guys, more than a decade after this scheme panahon na ba?
