no color coding? post your experiences!

[pajerokid]

a teeny weeny bit more traffic.

[Hero]

noticed something at edsa specially at night..mga 530-onwards (ewan ko lang pagdaytime) for mga 2 weeks na.....nawala na mga traffic enforcers sa mga underpass and overpasses so free for all na sa mga bus itong mga bottleneck areas ...so nagtraffic!..pero sa tingin ko walang effect yung color coding...

[mbt]

nakakabwiset talaga itong mga jeep, taxi, at bus drivers... nagrereklamo na super traffic daw at mali daw yung ginawang suspension ng UUVRP ni BF... e putek que hindi sila apektado ng coding lakas ng loob nila umasta. sari-sarili lang din iniisip ng mga ogag na ito, samantalang sila-sila rin ang isang dahilan ng trapik sa manila :evil:

nakakabwiset din itong si maganto... hihirit pa ayaw aminin na wa-epek yung "grand plan" niya. jeeez...

daZed chiq,

everyone goes to makati...? hindi naman...

Ang nagpapatraffic lang sa edsa ay yung mga gigantic buses na humaharang at nagaagawan sa pasahero.
:evil:

i think kung sakaling ma-traffic..
its not because wala nang coding..
pero dahil wala na yung mga traffic enforcers sa pwesto nila...
(since wala coding, wala nang huli, wala nang kotong...)

[mbt]

wreckless,

actually, from my experience... mas matraffic kung nagdidirect ng traffic ang mga MMDA peeps :?

traffic was a bit heavy today, but i don't think the suspension of coding is the cause.

[theveed]

Pareho lang... i tried counting the number of "1" and "2" plates yesterday and counted less than 10 within an hour or so...

Kung tinanggal nila mga oploks na driver, kahit isabay pa ang truck at bisikleta di parin tratrafic na ganun... :D

[mbt]

kanina sa katipunan at sa loob ng ateneo binilang ko yung mga 3 at 4 na private vehicles... to my surprise, i counted about 10 in about 5 mins... but hindi masasabi kung added volume ba ito sa usual kasi pwede namang ibang kotse ang ginamit in place of those 10 or so vehicles kung may coding ngayon

[boyscout]

wala naman talaga sa color-coding ang traffic sa mga puv talaga yan na walang disiplina.

[mbt]

...tapos ngayon sila yung nagrereklamo na dapat hindi sinuspend ang coding :evil:

IMO, the whole experiment is a failure. I dont support color coding simply because is a stupid solution to the traffic problem. Traffic enforcement and driver discipline lang, malaking improvement na sana (although i know this is quite impossible).

Getting back to the experiement, the reason why its a failure is because Makati (and eventually Mandaluyong) did not participate. Makati is in the heart of Metro Manila. If you clock the center, then naturally, all the other areas will clog up.

In my pov, it was a good that an experiment was made. Departments and other governement offices concerned were able to see the effects of a manila with no coding. But yun nga lang hindi nakita yung buong efficiency because makati and mandaluyong backed out of the plan.

BF was just experimenting someting new, which is not bad naman. What impressed me the most is that MMDA officers were everywhere and they were trying to do there jobs naman...

Traffic enforcement and driver discipline lang, malaking improvement na sana (although i know this is quite impossible).

driving here in manila is practically lawless. i agree that it boils down to proper traffic enforcement/management and driver discipline.

i know it seems overwhelming, but IMHO this is still possible!

i have this theory..

why is it that as soon as drivers enter subic, they suddenly practice discipline? you probably know the answer.

maybe the MMDA can apply the same formula here in metro manila. they can start enforcing strict traffic regulations in one city (e.g. makati city), and as soon as the traffic problem is neutralized in the said city, they can then expand to another city (e.g. mandaluyong).. and so on.. until the whole metro is covered.

this might be easier for the MMDA, and the public might find this easier to swallow.

pero i'm sure na whatever BF comes up with, kokontra nanaman yan si claire "big mouth" dela fuente. hehehe..

IMHO lang peeps. :D

peace.
