Traffic Problem In Metro Manila (Merged Thread)

[sandy51]

Suggestion sa traffic problem. Watch the videos in the news. Kung consistent ang problem, it only means that the enforcers are not doing their jobs, which means their supervisors are not doing theirs. Fire the supervisors. If so many supervisors have problems of weak supervision, fire the supervisor of the supervisors, and so on up the line. Always make it the accountability of the immediate supervisor up the chain. Cheap solution lang ito - that is if we really are serious

[rey.etder]

its never going to be fixed. roads are too small, manila is too small and the amount of cars are just too much. its a simple math.

[shemale]

wala ba ginagawa goverment sa traffic situation dito lalo nagiging worst kasi.

[jopok]

simple muna...alisin lahat ng naka park sa mga national road..sa taft lang lapit sa la salle...malate area...yung mga negosyo na walang parking area at ang kliyente ay nakapark sa daanan..trysikel at pedicab,kuliglig sa mga national road...zone run ng mga bus...

[dos8dos]

considering there are more drivers on the road than enforcers, we could make a whole lot of difference by displaying more discipline by inculcating discipline among ourselves

[getsumei]

I no longer see any solution actually. Dami mahilig mangatwiran e. Ive seen and read lots of suggestions only to be shutdown by a selfish argument.

 

Lets take the cars parked on/by the sidewalks as an example. Obviously they are a cause of traffic. Remove them. Dont counter that there are no parking spaces. Layo kayo ng onti at may makikita din kayo. Maghanap ka kahit malayo. Ang tatamad gusto lagi malapit sa babaan.

 

Kung wala talaga makuha space then leave the car in your garage. Walang garahe? Why buy a car in the first place? Kasi convenient/secure? I dont see the convenience when you would be cursing the long hours on the road because of traffic. There is still no security when you're stuck in traffic with close to frustrated drivers around. Kahit saan ka magpunta kung di ka maingat mapag didiskitahan ka talaga sa krimen.

 

 

Thats just an example. Mahirap alisin sa atin ang pangangatwiran. Hanggat walang gusto magbigay - wala tayo karapatan umasa.

 

Ang totoo ang nakikita kong solusyon ay alisin ang mga lumang kotse/van/truck. Ung mga mausok ang tambutso. Dalawa ang masosolusyunan nun. Trapiko at polusyon.

 

Ai onga, may magrereklamo wag makialam sa kotse ng my kotse kasi di ko naman pera pinambili 😏

Mass Transpo ang solution. And also ung No Garage, No Car Policy sana maipasa.

Unfortunately, Daang Matuweed is an epic fail at this.

Correct!

 

Kahit hindi garage. Kahit carport lang.

 

No Carport - No Car Policy.

 

Just like in major Japanese cities like Tokyo..

 

Start with Makati and Manila.

Kahit anong traffic measures ang gawin kung andito naman sa Metro Manila ang karamihan ng trabaho walang mangyayari dahil sa dami ng dumadaang sasakyan lalo na sa EDSA. Karamihan dito sinisisi ang mga PUV na nagko-cause ng traffic pero ang dami kong nakikitang SUV sa EDSA driver lang ang nakasakay. Noong nasa Legaspi kami, kahit rush hour ang luwag dahil karamihan ng mga tagaroon tumitira sa Metro Manila para magwork

[Jon Don]

Create jobs outside of NCR. Give people a reason to go back to their provinces. That will reduce the traffic problem among other things.

[kanto-terrorist]

kahit anong scheme pa yan, kahit hi hitler pa gawin mong traffic czar, ang nag iisang solusyon lang is decentralization. ikalat ang business district sa baguio, subic/clark, cebu at davao. tanggalin ang provincial wage rate. siksikan na tayo dito, di na kaya ng metro manila. tingnan mo sa vietnam, mamimili ka kung sa taas (hanoi) o sa baba (Ho Chi Minh) ang gusto momg mag trabaho at mag settle.

 

Economic Federalism is the key. kahit di na political, Economic and Business na lang.

[camus]

Fix public transportation system. I would start would with trains: mrt, lrt, pnr. Magulo din roads Pero Mamaya na yun. Unahin trains. First you fix the current trains, then you expand network. No traffic sa trains. Imagine... If you have good train network, you can go home to batangas and be in your office in makati in 1 hour.

[Strada2008]

To avoid traffic...leave early, use Google Maps or Waize to plan route...we deal with it...walang short term solution...make the most of it...a good radio working, airconditioning is well maintained, a good number of yosi and a lighter (plus posporo pang back up)...puede na...

[sudo.spectrum]

Osmena highway ang traffic na ng sobra dahil sa ginagawang super highway

[Joblow]

May sense iyong sinasabi ni Cayetano bakit matindi traffic sa Metro Manila. More than 30% ng National budget natin napupunta lang sa Metro Manila so ang mga magagandang ospital, infrastructure, trabaho eh andito kaya ang mga tao sa probinsiya eh pumupunta dito. So solution niya eh ikalat sa buong bansa ang mga infrastructure projects and government offices

[rooster69ph]

Eto ang problema, pansariling interest ang laging inuuna natin kaysa interest ng karamihan. Halimbawa un bagong no contact policy ng paghuhuli dahil naglagay ng cctv. Isipin mo ba naman na issue pa yun sa mga drivers pampubliko? E paano pagnakunan sila multa agad at di na uubra yun ginagawa nila kasi may nagbibigay sila kay kotong cops.

Agree. The more practical solution is to combine these two proposals above. The long-term goal is federalism, decentralization to spread development across the country and not to concentrate it around few cities like MM. This will transfer to the state gov't the responsibility of developing their area. And the state gov't has more incentive and reason to that than the central gov't. However, it will not happen overnight.

 

The mass transpo will help in medium-term to mitigate the traffic here in MM, this will encourage people to lessen use of their cars and rely more on the reformed and more efficient and more effective public transportation. However, if we still don't decentralize and we still keep development here in MM, more and more people will still migrate here, which will eventually overwhelm even the improved public transpo. The two proposals complement each other.

 

Kailangan system solutions. We cannot rely on appealing to individual interests to change their attitudes when it comes to traffic.

Traffic daw is a symptom of economic progress? Bullshit!

 

It means wala ng oportunidad sa mga probinsya kaya dumadagsa lalo tao sa maynila. Yan ba ang progreso?

[jandroid]

Public transport has to be improved. But traffic rules has to be implemented strictly. Otherwise there is no point in then.

[JoshuaJacob]

Some of the best traffic control of progressive countries:

1) Regulate the number of vehicles (including motorcycles) being given w/ license by the LTO

2) Junk vehicles older than 10 years. We have jeepneys prying the road that is older than 30 years.

3) Remove the colorum vehicles that mostly owned by LTO officers. And put these LTO officers behind bars that owns these colorum vehicles.

Just wondering ... what is the basis for your view that max life span of cars should only be up to 10 years and should be junk thereafter? I mean there are cars say 10 yrs old already but these are still well maintained and with very low mileage which are better off with cars younger in age but "laspag". na

[Edmund Dantes]

I Keep telling you, until you somehow decongest metro manila, all other efforts to ease traffic will be futile.

 

Kaya nga, bobo lang ang maniniwala sa pinagsasabi ni Roxas na progresso daw ibig sabihin paglala ng traffic.

 

Ang ibig sabihin nyan, patuloy lang ang pagdami ng tao sa Metro Manila. Pano? Anong maayos na oportunidad ba meron sa mga probinsya? Ultimo pinakamagagaling na lang na Unibersidad at Ospital laging nasa Manila. Yung business capital nasa Manila. Lampas na sa tinatawag na "carrying capacity" ang kaMaynilaan kaya lumalala na traffic.

 

The move towards Federalism will be a great step towards this. If we can have other major cities in the Philippines where it can also offer not just the best Job opportunities but as well as Education. If only factories and major businesses can have center of operations in other cities, then hindi lagi dadagsa tao sa Maynila.

 

sabi nga 80% ng protein napupunta lang lagi sa Metro Manila

[brandonboyd]

Expanding the roads and decentralizing businesses and offices won't happen in the short run. By the time a major highway has been finished or a new building in the province has been erected, maybe 500,000 new vehicles have already been sold and running. 2016 car sales still up year-on-year and the forecast just keeps on rising. With crude oil price ranging 45-50/barrel(still cheap) we can expect lower price tags on vehicles. If car companies could just add more premium on the prices of vehicles to lessen the demand, but that ain't happening either. The Ayalas(Honda and Isuzu), George Ty of MBT(Toyota) and Gokongweis(Mitsubishi?) don't care about sustainability, all they see is profit, maybe they can claim that their buildings or factories are "green." As long as construction of fixed assets are involved in the solution, do not expect for a quick fix in the near future.

 

Anyway, the only solution left is for the improvement of mass transportation. I hope the additional MRT would service enough passengers, but it's hard to imagine. And consumers, you may want to limit the purchase of vehicles. For a family, 2 cars would suffice, might as well ride a dilapidated bus going to work and just doze off hahaha
