Traffic Problem In Metro Manila (Merged Thread)


Recommended Posts

Na late na kasi ang train development. Masyado concentrated on roads which benefit a few. Trains have the most effect on moving people

Bus rapid transit or BRT na lang compared to trains. Same purpose pero easier to build, requires lesser resources, simpler to maintain, etc. Proven na effective public transpo from experiences around the world. Buti pa Cebu gumagawa na sila nito.

Encourage people to use public transportation through laws and expensive automobile ( :D) like in Japan where even middle class folks use public transpo. Madali kasi makakuha na ng sasakyan dito sa Pinas.

 

You can't expect to encourage car-riding public to use public transpo with its current status - MRT is a horrible mess, both buses and jeepneys crowd and choke our highways, plus you're more likely to get late to your destination riding it. Walang incentive or any benefit sa kanila. Trapik na nga yung sasakyan nya. Para syang aalis mula sa nagbabagang apoy pero lilipat naman papuntang lava. But I agree to make it a requirement for incoming car owners to have a garage space before they have their own cars.

 

Case in mind: naalala ko yung napakatalinong suggestion ni Noy2 just this August lang, na ibalik daw ang odd-even coding, para mabawasan ng 50% ang mga sasakyan sa daan. Yun lang, basta daw mabawasan, di bale nang lalong magsiksikan sa MRT yung mga di makapagkotse. Di ba nya naisip na sa sobrang hirap ng public transpo that the car owners would rather get another (most likely pre-owned) car para lang makaiwas sa odd-even at sa horrible public transpo natin? Ayun manganganak lang ang dami ng sasakyan, lalo pang lalala ang trapik in the future.

 

My point is just barring them from using their existing vehicles will most likely won't work because they will just find another way (that the policy makers didn't expect). If the gov't want the people to take a certain path or behavior (in this case taking a public transpo) then give them incentives to it, and provide disincentives to those taking the undesired behavior (using their private cars).

more public transportation should be implemented, we can also use the rivers.

Agree as for the rivers, yun lang di nya nadadaanan ang most parts ng maynila. but well, we can still use it.

 

 

Build a lot more trains and subways.

Madali sabihin....pero practically, napakalaking undertaking ang maglagay ng tren pati maghukay. by the time magawa yan (kung gawin man) nadagdagan na naman ng maraming sasakyan sa kalsada.

Sana someone in government who can make a difference realizes that:

 

1. The traffic managers themselves may be the major problem. Let's start with who really is in charge? There is the DOTC, through the LTO. Then there is the MMDA Law. And the Local Government Code. Where does the buck end? Then there are the driver's manual from National Book Store. Can these publications be used as reference in a traffic court? In the US and Canada, there is such a manual given for free. We're not rich so why can't the DOTC or whoever is really in charge sell such a manual? Too hard for an Annapolis graduate to fathom?

 

2. Does the government really think that people would much rather go through hours of traffic; minutes of finding a parking space in Makati, ; then paying a high parking fee; rather than take the MRT if only they could, like in Hongkong or Singapore?

 

Or lahat nito, kasalanan pa din ni Marcos and Gloria?

Traffic solution? More people should bike! Less traffic, better health and cheaper transportation. Here's to wishing our government invests in bike lanes, tax incentives for bike purchases and more bike friendly parking!

If this was Europe, I'd agree with you. Here? You might as well wear a shirt that says "Sagasaan niyo ako!".

there are a lot of causes of traffic here in our country... here are a few of what i think, same as our government, driving methods and situations here in our country are dysfuntional....

 

-undisciplined motorists... no road courtesy... mahirap din naman ang maging sample ng me road courtesy... pag me pinasingit ka yari ka... unlike sa ibang bansa na kung me pinasingit ka, ikaw na ang susunod na parang me respeto sa pila... dito hindi ka na papa-pasukin ng mga sumisingit sa iyo... sorry ka na lang kaya mahirap na din siguro magka road courtesy dito...

 

-poor public transports... jeepneys... buses... tricycle... sidecar... yung pagiging sobrang dami nila ang walang disiplina... kasama na dito ang hindi efficient na LRTs MRTs natin....

 

-road hassles... included dito ang mga magkakariton... mga vendors na nakaharang sa kalsada...

 

-trucks, containers, delivery vans na parang sobrang laki ng kalsada... pag hindi mo naman ipapabyahe ito hindi din pwe pwede dahil sa ating economy...

 

-overvolume ng motor vehicles & passengers of public transport...

 

-overpopulation...

 

Solutions:

 

hindi ganun kadali gawan ng solution ito... coordinated effort kasi ito... tulad ng undisciplined motorist... although alam natin na dapat magkaroon ng road courtesy pero karamihan sa atin (kundi lahat) ay hindi magpapasingit sa harap natin dahil tuloy tuloy na tayong sisingitan yung mga kasunod... one thing pa, same din sa una, hinaharangan natin yung ibang intersection or corners pagka traffic kaya ito din ang nagca cause ng traffic sa kabilang corner or intersection... to begin with, at sa tingin ko malaki ang i-improvin ng driving condition sa atin ay magkaroon ng disiplina at road courtesy... pero sa tingin ko wishful thinking lang ito...

 

yung sa public transport na tulad sa mga MRTs LRTs... trabaho ng gobyerno yan na gawin pang mas efficient yan..

 

yung magkakariton, sidecar, hindi naman yata kayang ipagbawal dito yan dahil way of life na yan.. (dysfuntional)

 

jeepney and buses- overvolume din yan... lalo na pag hindi puno... dahan dahan tatakbo silang lahat at gagawing terminal ang mga sakayan para mapuno sila ng pasahero..

 

maybe there are a lot of things pa na hindi ko na mention... pero just the same, sa tingin ko malabong gawan ng solusyon ang traffic problem natin...

road widening take dyoskupo pineapple sa bagal... dagdag lng sa traffic!

 

better tlaga mgkaroon ng ibang route ang mga container truck from pier....

 

utilized yung line ng pnr tren para gawin alternate roads.. sa ibang bansa nga nagsasabay ang tren at private vehicles...

 

kung wlang magsisimulang magstep up to make major planning sa metro traffic... magkakaroon ng TWD sa major roads sa pinas

road laws implementation at discipline pinaka madaling solusyon para masolusyonan ang traffic sa NCR

I agree. Driver behavior din is a big factor. Wala nagbibigayan sa kalsada puro singitan at unahan. Naka nguso na auto mo uunahan kapa so sa likod mo may pile up na. Taz mga jeep na nagbaba sa gitna ng daan wala man lang considerasyon sa mga maabala sa likod. Yun din mga illegal terminal, pick up and drop off points lang dapat ginagwang terminal.

 

Also, alternative and better public transport like a rail system going arond the metro and nearby provinces.
