This traffic problem should have been avoided if those technocrats before even during the Marcos era had predicted that the volume of cars would increase and therefore advance planning should have done.

 

Its too late already.

 

So many factors are attributing to the traffic woes at eto dapat tuonan ng pansin:

 

1. Lack of discipline both on the motorists and pedestrians esp. on PUVs

2. Easy terms of getting a car

3. We have no networks of elevated roads

4. Our mass transpo is poor

5. Laht ng secondary roads ginawang parking lot

 

Ang dami pa...haay buhay!

Did u kniw that abgreat urban plane named Mr. Palapox( not sure of the spelling) predicted it all ready inthe 1960...vas he head one of agncy in the government for development... but what did the goverment did..... NOTHING!! As in NOTHING AT ALL... now his proposal in the 60s is little bit the same for this monster traffic we have this year... my good when will be the time that we willbhave a reliable mass transport para stress free...

 

 

Ps: kuwiat and other country followed palapox urban plan as they consulted him now look at them hayahay ang buhay...

Traffic problem is caused by a lot of things:

1.) Drivers
2.) Law enforcement
3.) Poorly designed roads
4.) Inefficient Public transportation system
5.) Pinoy Mentailty

Solution:

1.) Reform the license process. Let everyone who has a driver's license retake the exam.
2.) Educate law enforcers. Let LTO be the head for Traffic enforcers, after all they should be the ones that knows the rules. Be strict to instill Discipline to the drivers.

3.) Ask help from the government of SG to re-design our roads.
4.) Jeepneys and Tricycles for inner city but no overlapping of routes, Buses for Provinces and intercity. All of these should always be connected by a transport terminal/hub.
5.) Let our hospitality be visible on the roads.

Well he was interviewed by former senator Orly Mercado regarding this topic and he said those things... he even presented this problem to his co-urban planners.. well the end of the day I hope that this mess will end...hmmmm(tsk...tsk...)

If the government are aggressive on implementing RH Law which is a population control measure, sana ganun din sa pag kontrol sa numbers of vehicles on the road.

 

I will agree na may need na i phase-out na old vehicles, they are not road worthy.

 

Takaw aksidente pa sila.

Many 15 to 20 year-old private vehicles nowadays are still road worthy. Mine is 18-years-old and it still runs perfectly.

 

The delapidated buses, jeepneys, tricycles, pedicabs and most motorcycles are the ones clogging the roads and creating traffic.

 

Instead of classifying road worthiness based on age of the vehicle, it should be done scientifically through dynamometer test on top of the mandatory emission test and visual body/chassis roadworthiness inspection.

 

In other more advanced countries, if your car fails the chassis dynamometer test, you can't renew its registration.

Well I prefer mass transport... to discourage cars in the street.. like japan

[calvinzero]

Sabi ng hepe ng QCPD Traffic Bureau from the radio interview, ang isang P2P bus ay equivalent daw ng 6 jeepneys.

 

 

Ang goal daw ng inter-agency task force ay tulungan ang mga jeepney drivers na mapalitan ng alternative mode of public vehicle such as bus.

 

I don't know if nasa national budget proposal na ito?

[calvinzero]

One more thing, hindi na nawawala sa mga komentaryo at side comments sa radyo ang traffic sa Metro Manila lalo na kay Ted Failon.

 

Naiirita ika nga.

 

Ubos na pasensya nya siguro kahit sinasabi din niya na maging kalmado ang mga tao pagdating sa ganyan.

alisin ang sidecars at tricycle. bawasan ang private cars at jeep. dagdagan ang bus at MRT.

Maganda yan kapatid but its easier said than done... hmmm what a mess we have that traffic is...

[groundhog]

I live in the south and It usually takes me 1 hr 15 mins to get from house to work during PNOYS time but now I have to leave 1 hr 30 mins just to get to work in time usually late pa a couple of minutes and to think I drive to work. Paano pa kaya kung commute.

 

What I am saying is traffic has worsen with the current admin. The 100 days for Sec. Tugade is almost up and there has been no improvement at all. I think the present admin bit more than they could chew.

 

I would suggest carpooling as one of the solution. Each morning on my way to work I see cars, suvs, even vans with just the driver inside. Sayang ang space. I do carpooling sa area namin, sometimes I get 2 to 3 passengers. Maybe they should assign a special express lane for carpoolers parang mala APEC.

 

Just imagine, if there are 100 cars in your area who travels every morning going at the same general area. If these drivers would carpool then there'll be just only 25 cars joining the traffic instead of 100.

[calvinzero]

Although I agree with carpooling, one of the cons of this is your safety. I mean what if one of your passengers is a holdupper?

 

I watched the Uber commercial earlier in primetime TV.

 

It's such a waste.
