OK din to kasi luluwag yung traffic sa EDSA tsaka mababawasan yung mga barumbadong bus drivers. Bawas kotong na din.

Pero syempre, on the other hand, madami din mawawalan ng trabaho.

It is about time the government moved to reduce the overpopulation of buses on EDSA.

They should have done this years ago, many measures could be done like modernization of units, strict implementation on franchising rules and the like. Unfortunately, LTFRB always suck up to the whines and rants of bus operators, let's see what Asec. Suansing will do during his term.

Seems more like a stop-gap measure than a real solution. The immediate beneficiaries are the driving public. Kawawa mawawalan ng trabaho pero that's the price to pay for this move.

Kung titignan mo kaya super trapik na sa EDSA e ang mga siyudad na dinadaanan ng EDSA (Caloocan-QC-Mandaluyong-Makati-Pasay) e continue ang growth kahit hindi na kaya ng pampublikong daan (blame it to city planning).

Continous growth+static road network+growing no of vehicles == traffic + waste fuel + waste time + financial loses

isang component lang ang number of vehicles sa problemang ito.

I think may plan din to reduce number of jeepneys around Metro Manila.

Good Luck to LTFRB chairman Alberto Suansing. He'll need a lot of it to get this going. MMDA Chairman Fernando tried the same thing but GMA blocked his effort. Using the possible losses of jobs as an excuse...
