What causes traffic?

[kiper]

and ang nakakainis pa sa ganyan, patay-malisya lang ang traffic officers.

kung ikaw ba naman ang traffic enforcer/official dun sa edsa.. tapos tumatanggap ka ng tong/ butaw/ regalo/ o kung ano man ang tawag nila dun.

may gana ka pa bang paalisin o hulihin ang mga hinayupak na bus na yan?

syempre di na diba? pagpalagay mong kumikita ng additional P200-P500 kada araw ung mga MMDA boys natin sa kalsada.. pwede na..

[mini_macky]

bwisit na buses kasi...ano ba ang mahirap intindihin sa "stay in the yellow lane"? biro mo, nakakapagsingitan pa sila within the 2-lane yellow lane. gusto ko nga magpagawa ng bumper sticker eh (especially for buses) "buses, stay in your F__cking lane" hehehe.

dati nga eh, sa may pasay naman, meron isang bus na tumigil sa gitna ng road (as usual), todo busina ako wala pa rin. so i went to the left side of the bus, put my window down & threw a coin at the driver's window & sped off. biro mo, hinabol ako ni gago tapos kinut ako. tsk tsk. text ako agad sa LTFRB (may nagagawa nga ba talaga to? hehehe)

i hate buses (the drivers actually). tsk tsk.

PUV drivers are indeed the worst kind in our country (siguro not all BUT MAJORITY).

Ranking from worst of the worst to less worse:
-Public Buses
-Jeepneys
-Taxis
-Tricycle/Pedicab

Pare yun nga ang point, nangongotong na tapos di pa nagtratrabaho... sino bang di maiinis.

[umzzzzz]

traffic system, miscommunicating traffic enforcers, opposite colored stoplights (red is go, green is stop) with traffic enforcer at the middle of the intersection...those who can't wait in line (most but not all are guilty of this...)...uneducated people on the road, moon craters, road repairs, pedicabs on highway, tricycles on highway, motorcycles with a-la shaider drivers, pedestrians na hindi gumagamit ng pedestrian lanes/overpass/underpass...uhmmm...dami e!

[vwturbo]

problema na yan years ago, dati pinapaalis nila yung mga tumatambay na bus pero hindi sila consistent.

for me.. overtaking...

tungkol sa tricycle naman... dun sa may pasig... ang liit-liit naman nila, ewan ko kung bakit two lanes ang ginagamit nila. i mean, isang tricycle gumagamit ng dalawang lanes madalas (nasa gitna palagi ng kalsada). nauubos gas ko sa andar at preno ng madalas. nag-flash na ko headlights ko ayaw pa rin tumabi. mas ok pa minsan mga trucks kasi nasa isang lane lang.

dagdag pa dyan.

lanes...
must keep in lanes.
must learn how to properly switch lanes.
(importante) must know when to let other vehicles get inside your lane and when NOT to let them get in your lane (headlights at busina pampigil)... maliit na kotse lang ako pero bihira nakakapasok na bus sa lane ko (tadtad/sawa sila sa busina - wala naman sila magawa kasi nasa tama ako e).

kung wala yan, mag-p-pile din ng more traffic sa likod mo.

oops, OT na yata ako.

[russpogi]

eto lang masasabi ko dyan sa mga lintek na bus drivers na yan (particularly those plying EDSA): $*#$^%&#$#^!*#&*!!!!!!! :fire:

[ozcity]

wala tayong magagawa dyan...gusto din ilang kumita ng pera na katulad natin...ang pinagkaiba lang nila sa atin....wala silang disiplina....ilagay mo yung sarili mo sa sitwasyon nila baka ganyan din ang gawin mo....sa hirap ng buhay ngayon sa pilipinas gagawa at gagawa ng paraan ang mga tao para kumita ng pera kahit alam nilang nakaka perwisyo sila ng iba.....saka wag natin sisihin ang gobyerno....nasa tao yan...the only thing that we can do e maging disiplinado tayo sa daan..wag na natin dagdagan pa yung mga taong walang ginawa kundi maka perwisyo ng iba....

ill bet karamihan dito hindi din sumusunod sa tamang batas trapiko.. isa na ako dun..

[j_avonni]

Yes traffic is also caused by undisciplined PU drivers. Pero pwede naman ma-solve ito ng good traffic management and implementation. The problem is wala rin tayo nito.

[badkuk]

there are also some drivers -- private and puvblic vehicles -- na sumisingit via the outer or opposing lane, service road, etc to get ahead of a queue of cars about to make a turn. problem is,

-- nabablock ung lane that's supposed to to straight
-- nabablock ung opposing traffic

minsan napapasama pa lalo pag me mga ogags sa sumunod sa likod

[ian_rex]

...and just this morning early in the morning, got a close encounter with private and PU drivers and pedestrian- who were all stupid.

there i was, on a lane that was blocked by a PUJ's both left and right, loading up passengers, and taking all the time in the world. i refrained from blowing my horn as it was useless. as soon as the street clears up, two private vehicles decided to counterflow- i let the AUV pass, but the sedan, who should yield as i move forward tried to beat me. nope, i didn't let the sedan pass. why should i let him? besides, i'm on the right side of the road. oh by the way, the slow-moving jerk of PUJ still hogging the middle of the road.

i daresay, the lack of road courtesy and discipline, can bring out the worst even to the disciplined drivers. more of a "domino effect"

[ILuvDetailing]

Kulang sa implementation, at kung may bagong laws na pinapatupad para paluwagin ang daloy ng traffic eh may kumokontra, puro pulitika at sarili ang iniicip.

[mbt]

Sa ESDA, buses lang talaga. period.

PLUS, the buses all stop at bottleneck points like narrowing roads or at the foot of underpasses/ flyovers (usually nagse-swerve pa from the curbside lane hanggang sa overpass/underpass lane), which just multiplies the problem exponentially.

Galleria/Megamall (THE BIGGEST bottleneck sa northbound... on weekdays, backed up na to from galleria all the way to ayala, syet!)... bus stop, compounded by ortigas flyover bottleneck and pink fences sa megamall + yung lane ends sa leftmost lane sa pink fences (because of the MRT station).

Shaw underpass... underpass bottleneck, napupuno minsan yung buses dun sa itaas kaya nagbabara.

Guadalupe (before and after the bridge)... buses at the bus lane again. paglampas ng guadalupe lumuluwag

sa quezon ave-EDSA naman at east ave-EDSA, nagbabara sa ilalim dahil sa sobrang useless na U-turn schemes at these intersections. hindi naman kailangan yung U-turn kasi relatively light yung cross-traffic.

in short... BUSES + piss-poor planning (plus broken cars, which seems to happen very often) = holy crap traffic sa EDSA. on other roads, jeeps, buses, tricycles, counterflowing assholes, assholes who block intersections, assholes in the wrong lane,... haaaay

[coiter]

yup. grabe nga dyan sa megamall/robinsons area southbound during evening rush hours. ang isa sa pinakasasama ng loob ko e yung paggawa ng mrt. im not against it, actually i use this often, but rather the way it was constructed. ang sikip sikip na nga ng edsa binawasan pa ng tig 1 lane bawat direction. unlike the lrt 1 and 2, talagang naminimize yung na-occupy na street. panay tuloy bottleneck.

[wilcats]

jeep,bus,tricycle, stupid pedestrians/traffic nforcers, taxis...

[ozcity]

isa lang ang sagot dyan....MAKUKULIT LANG TALAGA TAYONG MGA PINOY kahit punuuin mo ng sinage yan or kahit isang katutak na batas ang ipairal walang mangyayari dahil sa kakulitan natin..hehehhehe

[quiksie]

batuhin niyo ng kamatis o itlog yun mga windshield nila o kaya pintura para hindi na sila makapagdrive hehe. Tapos dapat sa edsa yun yellow lane may mga metal spikes para hindi na sila lalabas dun sa yellow lane. Nasan na yun mga fences parang nawawala na yun iba?
