I beg to disagree with this bro,with our limited space,those PUV' s are creating traffic by simply doing what they are best,loading and unloading where they like ,unlike private vehicles mostly on the road from point A to pointB

ang mgagawa na lang ay ang paano ba maiibsan? nanjan na e....paano ba ang magandang paraan para maibsan ang traffic?

Carpooling,color coding,phase out system,strick guidelines sa franchising ng PUVs,maghigpit sa mga kolorum(RFID is really helpful sa pagsugpo nito),proper training sa traffic enforcers and drivers as well,buy more coaches sa Mass transit, walang truck na allowed bumiyahe sa MM sa takdang oras......etc..

And opkors, kamay na bakal sa magpapatupad ng mga ito....

Wala ngang foresight,noon wala pang ganitong problema kaya di nila iniisip solusyon dahil wala ngang iso solve,now may problema di naman alam solusyon,hehehe,pano nga ba kuya?

yup like here in alabang, nawala lang yung lumang administration ginawa nanaman parking area ng mga bus and jeep yung alabang viaduct

if we have a good mas transport inter connection system we will see the end of days of those jeeps and buses but law and behold we are the only country on asia that used to have one of the best railways to the worst at present.

Remember when BS Aquino said the Manila's traffic was a good sign of economic growth rather than because of extremely bad road management?

Congested ports a sign of improving economy – Palace
August 17, 2014 4:17pm

Look on the bright side. Congestion at Manila ports shows the economy is lively, a Palace official said Sunday.

"Dapat din po nating kilalanin na ito (port congestion) ay isang pagpapakita rin ng masiglang pag-unlad ng ating ekonomiya na napakarami talagang mga kargamentong dumarating sa ating pantalan, ‘yung Port of Manila," Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said of container vans that have piled up at the port.

"Patuloy pa rin pong inaasikaso ‘yan lahat ng mga awtoridad at pinagtutulungan ng iba’t ibang ahensya ng pamahalaan na makalikha po tayo ng iba’t ibang hakbang at alternatibo para ma-address ‘yang sitwasyong ‘yan," he said in an interview over government radio dzRB.

Coloma said that cargo may be coursed through other ports in the country as an alternative to the ports in Manila.

"Kailangan lang isaayos ‘yung logistical arrangement dahil meron naman po tayong iba’t ibang mga pasilidad, katulad ng sa Batangas at Subic, na maaari rin namang magamit para sa transshipment ng mga kargamento na galing sa ibang bansa," he said.

Port congestion has resulted in delayed deliveries and has been blamed for price increases in goods like fruits and chicken. Analysts have also warned that port congestion may impact economic growth and the competitiveness of Philippine goods.

The Philippine Ports Authority earlier identified the City of Manila's daytime truck ban as the leading cause of port congestion.

It cited that around 5,000 container vans land at the Port of Manila daily, however, due to the truck ban, only a fraction of those get to leave the port.

Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, who has extended an existing truck ban in the city, said that the daytime truck ban will continue despite protests and allegations that the truck ban caused the overcrowding.

Estrada said the city government has provided a 24-hour express lane for cargo trucks going in and out of the port. — Rouchelle R. Dinglasan/JDS, GMA News
