should the MMDA's Traffic Coding Scheme be removed permanently?

REMOVE THE UVVRP!

Honestly, I'd substitute something else for PUV drivers who wantonly and recklessly violate traffic laws...castration! Tignan ko kung di tumino ang mga lekat na 'yan. If that's too harsh, let's do a Singapore and give them 10 lashes with a cane for each violation.

Remove the scheme and Binay, para magawa na ng maayos ni BF ung trabaho nya.

Saka dapat maganda ung connection ng MMDA sa City Mayors, DPWH, DOTC, LTO and LTFRB.

to aid in traffic flow, i think the MMDA should also rethink their strategy on yellow lanes and u-turn slots. yellow plates on yellow lanes, huh? eh ang numero unong nawawala sa mga yellow lanes eh yung mga naiinip na naka-yellow plate.

Retain...

Dito sa Commonwealth Ave, ramdam mo talaga kung na-lift yung color coding, sobrang dami ng sasakyan. Parusa talaga every rush hour

OT: Bakit "kepted" yung nakalagay dun sa Poll Bar? There's no such word. Either "Kept" or "Retained" dapat

I think the color coding scheme should stay because it really helps in easing and lessenin the traffic. Parang last summer, when there was no color coding, sobrang traffic sa binondo and tondo area... madalas mag-traffic jam.

that's true but maybe if people stayed in the proper lane, gave way when other motorists use their signal lights, and stopped using the middle of the street as a puv terminal, we wouldn't need the color coding scheme. the problem with color coding is that its a reactive approach to the traffic situation, instead of taking the proactive approach of implementing rules and regulations meant to ease traffic flow in the first place.

Does anyone realize na a new source of income has to be devised if the Coding system is abolished?

REMOVED!!!

1. It's undemocratic if you can't use your car whenever you please/need to.

2. Because of second cars at the disposal of several motorists, the intention of alleviating traffic won't be effectively carried out. Coding is meant for one motorist to use his/her car on 4 out of 5 weekdays. But if this person has an extra vehicle, he/she is still seen on the road on 5 weekdays. Obviously, this doesn't reduce vehicular count. Additionally, coding is a pro-rich scheme (self-explanatory).

3. Like some of you said, our public transportation isn't organized. In many other countries, many people, even some of the rich ones, prefer commuting over bringing their own car. Their transport systems are safe and convenient, and none of those apply here. I even heard from a friend that a person unfamiliar with commuting got held-up and murdered by a taxi driver during the day his car was coding. It's certainly possible, and many criminals will take advantage as long as coding is enforced.

4. Speaking of criminals, many traffic enforcers, especially in the CBD, make a business out of coding. Victims obviously choose to bribe the apprehending officer than surrendering license and accepting a ticket that costs at least twice the kotong. They also save themselves of the hassle of claiming their licenses.
