Protest to abolish the number coding scheme and its founder to be penalized!

[jresperanza]

abolish it and lets see the real problem, its expansion not restriction...

One possible solution is to implement an Electronic Road Pricing system, like what Singapore is doing, on roads in the Metro. It's a toll fee, those known to have heavy traffic the driver pays higher toll. Those who are traveling because of business deals, or bosses with high salary, businessmen, should be able to handle the cost. For those who can't can take the MRT. The MRT should not be subsidized and needs to be priced for reasonable profit. This ensures those who can use can afford the fair fare, ie your job commands reasonable salary for you to afford the MRT comfortably. Kasi ngayon pati karpintero dito sumasakay dahil mas mura siya sa bus at jeep. Yung executives bringing in more money to the country, like call center agents, are competing with those who brings in much less.

The last transportation alternative would be the bus and jeepneys, their fare should be significantly less than the MRT.

So in the end, those who are making lots of money can travel via cars, at a premium. Those who find paying the ERP too expensive can take the MRT, whose fare is corrected to ensure it's profitable. The passenger count should go down with the new unsubsidized fare. The rest can take the bus and jeepneys.

That is a plausible solution but it needs proper infrstructure to be built first before implementation.

Hindi yung tulad ng central bus station projecg ng implemented agad eh kulang kulang naman pala yung connecting transpo between he station and the next terminal for buses and jeeps.

Solution lang naman dyan ay effective, cheap, reliable, comprehensive and safe public transportation system.

Our current is nothing like that.. maybe the cheap part sige


I also don't like the coding system. Its pointless for me. Pero malabong matatangal, sa damidami ng problema sa Pinas, along with the crappy people running it and crappy people living in it (Generally lang ha, baka may magalit dyan tapos magtaas pa ng bandila ng pinas, tangapin na natin that most of our people's attitude are sh!t). MMDA is just gonna spout more "ideas" to supposedly curb our traffic problem.

Solution: Construct a dome over Manila and restrict entry of probinsiyanos.

Easy lang sa mga drastic solutions such as removing the number coding scheme. Before we compare NCR to Tokyo or Singapore, take a look at what they have na wala dito: efficient and comprehensive public transportation system.

Kapag pwede na tayo magcommute from bahay to office kahit pa multiple train and bus rides basta seamless connection and RF-enabled tickets ang gamit, we can start talking about removing the number coding scheme.

Something we can do in the immediate future is set up a multipurpose prepaid card like Japan's Suica or HK's Octopus card. It takes way too long to purchase single journey tickets on the MRT or pay for jeepney or bus fare. Just think of the possibilities. That could also possibly be used to pay for TVR's, parking, toll fees, etc. and will significantly lessen time wasted on manual payment of toll fees. It needs to be universal, unlike the ePass and easytrip, that you can only use for their respective expressways.

Other things we can do: remove all the ASBU clogging the roads. Honk your horn violently at people violating traffic rules. If you're in the provinces, support your local merchants/establishments as much as possible to reduce the need to go to the cities.

This is actually in the pipeline as the Automatic Fare Collection System PPP project of the govt. However, like most infra projects in this admin, it doesn't seem to go past the bidding stage. Nangalahati na si Pnoy pero di pa rin makapag take-off ang mga major infra projects.

I always wondered why national roads like C5 are not covered by Makati's no-coding window, pero yung ASBU nila can get away with blocking the flow of traffic. They should conduct their ASBU operation outside major thoroughfares. Better yet, all city ASBU should be declared as illegal.

I like this. Nakakagaan ng pakiramdam and stress-reliever pag nabusinahan ko ang mga manhid na jeepney and FX driver sa daan.

PPP and ASBU. Don't even want to get into that, nakakaasar lang hehe.

Ayan. Dapat naman talaga ganyan tayo lahat. Nagagalit family ko pag bumubusina ako, takaw away daw ako. I can only quote Edmund Burke:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

In other words, if noone complains, it's business as usual.
