I think it's inherently wrong that the MMDA was given full control over this issue.
At the core of it the problem is economic. Having a lot of cars and thus traffic is actually a good sign that the economy is doing well. But the MMDA is only focused on the single aspect of traffic.
So let's say they are able to reduce the volume of cars by implementing a full odd-even scheme, but it comes at the expense of slowing down business.
The reason we want cars to flow faster is so that people can go about their business faster and make more money for the entire country. With super-draconian vehicle reduction methods instead of doing their transactions immediately, it gets put off to the next day... Fewer people going to the malls, etc. Naging self-defeating yung solution.
I don't even know why they are considering this. Yes, traffic is bad again, but it is no worse than 2019 which also had a standard one day a week coding. Skyway 3 has somewhat helped the traffic situation as well. In my anecdotal experience, its still much better than the traffic in 2019. Ortigas to Alabang rush hour trips used to take up to 3 hours on a Friday and, and now it takes less than 1.5 hours. Perhaps they can revisit the concept when the traffic is nearing 2019 levels.
They can also consider mothballing the forced RTO of BPOs as well, but that is outside of the MMDA's jurisdiction
its not about the traffic, govt never cared about the public being inconvenienced by heavy traffic, becase traffic is good for the govt because you spend more on fuel and car maintenace expences which are all taxable
govt simply uses their police escorts with wang wangs to get away with traffic.
but now govt needs more tax money and thats why its coding time...
tsikoteers,
simplehan isip na lang = ilan nadadagdag na brand new kotse every year. Napaka basic just like yearly population baby factory fabella hospital.
Ilan ang motorsiklo ten years ago sa ngayon??? Yang mga kampon ng alega gang pasingit-singit mala-ahas so pag kotse nakaalalay ka sa brake anticipate may susulpot. So iba ang maneho nung wala pa scootings.
Isang elevated covered bikelane sa edsa madami magshishift pag wala gastos ang byahe at safe. Subok lang para malaman kung tama ako. Parang yung sa vaccine yung pagiging anti ko = kagalingan right again.![]()
The govt wants to encourage people to return to the office and at the same time discourage them by proposing the new number coding scheme. Lalakas lalo clamor for wfh nito...
