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

if color coding is abolished, the apprehension rate per day will increase proportional to a larger volume of cars on the road.

best source of income eto sa kanila

a lot of us have back up cars so parang minor effect ito... plus di naman problema ung maraming private cars eh... ung problem ung pagdisiplina sa mga public transports....

madalas kaya trapik hindi naman dahil volume ng kotse kundi sa may kanto nagkukumpulan ung mga bus, jeep, taxis, etc.

mali ung coding scheme... wrong law for the wrong problem.

[bangad]

Dapat na i-review talaga nila kung ok pa ba yung scheme. Dapat ang tutukan talaga ay yung kumpulan sa mga kantong sakayan at babaan. Yung mga bus na biglang sasakop ng 2-3 lanes sa daan para magbababa at magsakay ang talagang dahilan ng traffic. Add to that yung mga pangit na spots sa kalsada na nagpapaslowdown ng traffic.

Whenever the coding system is suspended, it's easy to see the horrendous traffic that forms in EDSA so i don't think it doesn't work.

Whenever the coding system is suspended, it's easy to see the horrendous traffic that forms in EDSA so i don't think it doesn't work.

The only times the traffic coding system will be suspended are:
1. very bad weather
2. public transport strike
3. public holidays

During event 3, traffic can be bad simply because there are more people wanting to traveling, coding wouldn't help. In event 1, flooding of roads is the main culprit. During event 2, you can actually see the traffic flowing much much better. Hence the cause of the problem is NOT the volume of private vehicles, its the LACK OF DISCIPLINE of public transport vehicles on our roads.

Even on regular days, certain areas are always traffic, especially if there is a private school nearby. The culprit is the number of cars waiting to fetch the students. They double or even triple park at the side of the road with little regard to the traffic flow. Prime example is De La Salle Greenhills at Ortigas Ave where the line of vehicles waiting the students can reach up the EDSA/Ortigas flyover.

Traffic on EDSA is always bad on weekdays.

Ergo, we should get rid of Public transport. hehehehe

seriously, it's what we need. It's just that, at this time, most people cannot afford even a 2nd hand car so it's not yet feasible. Build network of trains then abolish all the PUVs in their routes. That'll help a lot.

But still nothing beats the idiot drivers making all the troubles. We need to educate the drivers and would-be drivers here. Maybe include it in the elementary curriculum or in High School.

[creepy]

I think we should keep the number coding scheme until the public transport system is improved.

I don't agree that it is undemocratic (huh??). The govt has a right to regulate the use of vehicles. If it needs to "ration" "road use", then is should to do so.

if the gov't is going to ration how much we use our cars, then it should also proportionately decrease taxes on vehicle purchases. it's unfair for us pay the full amount for our cars, when we're not allowed to use them whenever we want.

maybe impose higher taxes exponentially as cars in your garage add-up.

Altho that's quite easy to get-around with.
