Traffic Problem In Metro Manila (Merged Thread)

[will robie]

When Tolentino was interviewed by ABS, he mentioned that he will push for the emergency powers for traffic. I hope he gets the chairmanship of the public services committee. The former chairman was useless as the chairman of that committee.

[dungeonbaby]

What is Tolentino's plan for Manila traffic, though?

 

 

I wish there was a system whereby we could report erring drivers easily. Where I live, there are two intersections where everyone complies with traffic rules because enforcers are stationed there. A couple of blocks away from those intersections, people get away with illegal turns and speeding. If everyone could report a violation, having proof of said violation with dashcam footage, and receive a small incentive for this I bet drivers would fall in line.

Its not his job to have a plan on traffic. He failed during Pnoys time, now as a Senator people from DoTr just need his support to give them power to implement their plans which was deprived by Poe.

That'd explain why people vote on loyalties versus platforms.

 

If he were to chair a committee maybe he should at least have some idea how the government might fix the problem. It's not like the DOTr has been free of issues.

 

Anyway, Tolentino did relaunch the Pasig River ferry system and he did stop oversize advertising beside roads; I'd say he has a vision in his head of how to approach this monster of a problem.

Poe was a disappointment even though she did seem to be asking the right questions. Whatever happened to the case against Abaya, I wonder.

itong LTFRB sobra na ngang daming TNVS may balak pang magdagdag ng mga premium TNVS ulit

 

dagdag kotse dagdag traffic pa lalo...

 

sino kayang Politico ang magstart ng ganitong business

He said that he was once a chairman of the MMDA so he knows what rules to put in the emergency powers for traffic. We would just have to take his word for it. With regards to the system, the MMDA needs to recruit more personnel. The personnel on Edsa and other major thoroughfares just don't cut it.

Yeah. Recruit us.

Yes, I think he has a vision of how to approach the traffic problem. As for Poe, I have no idea why people would vote for someone who has not delivered on a key issue like traffic which makes our country lose billions daily. Abaya was indicted for graft by the Ombudsman.

 

In my opinion, traffic flow has improved during Duterte's term, new road infrastructures notwithstanding.

Haha! Mapapaaway ka niyan, db.

 

Anyway, there are ways to assuage traffic. First is the flexitime in which people go to the office at different times which would ease traffic since there wouldn't be a rush hour in theory. Second is disciplined bus drivers but hell will have to freeze over for this to happen. But then again, emergency powers for traffic can make these bus drivers disciplined.

Most likely mapapaaway tayo. Well, ikaw for sure.

 

But I'm serious, if we could police ourselves it'd help with the personnel shortage problem. If we all know that dash cam footage showing wrongdoing could lead to a fine, we all might follow our rules better.

 

Flexitime sounds good, I know some schools implement this at least for drop-off schemes. Drivers of PUVs seem to get away with a lot of violations so, again, enforcement is a big chunk of the problem.

 

More than anything, though, an effective and clean mass transport system that'll make car owners forego the convenience of driving themselves everywhere is a leap forward. The P2P buses seem to be popular among people who would otherwise be in cars. Can't wait for the railway projects to get completed.

Haha! Yup, if I am a traffic enforcer, I will probably berate imbeciles who break traffic rules and I will be ruthless. Walang pakiusap, ticket agad, to make the traffic offender learn his lesson. Aside from the MRT-7, I am looking forward to the completion of the Skyway. It will decongest the metropolis but there still has to be discipline. Undisciplined drivers are the root cause of heavy traffic.

I lived in Singapore for almost 10 years.

 

While I was there, I never felt the need to buy a car because the mass transportation system is very efficient.

 

We should make the same effort to develop an integrated mass transport system to that level Singapore has achieved.

Napapisip lang ako minsan, sa kabila ng growth ng economy, pinoy pride, build build build, wala pa din pinagbago transport system natin. Jeep, trike, sidecar, putek, naka smart phones na halos tayo, magkakaroon na ng gay marriage. Pero anak ng pating trike jeep pedicab pa din mga major transport system.

 

Sobrang bahala na system, if there's any lawmaker who has one iota of care to regular Pinoys, this should have been taken cared of. Kahit anong traffic law, etiquette, rule, system, automation natin kung ganto pa din na baba din ng baba, parada/terminal kung saan system wala pa din tayo maasahan. Wasak pa din flow ng traffic natin, lalo pa ngayon pasukan ng mga bata at rainy season. Dikdikan na naman to mga kapatid.

 

Anyway, ingats and pasensya mga paps.

Dapat na kasing i-phase out ang mga tricycle, WW II design jeepney, padyak etc... dahil napaka inefficient. Pero takot ang mga pulitiko natin na mabansagang "anti-poor".

 

Ang mga jeepney natin ay palitan ng electric jitneys tulad nito :

sana talaga matanggal na LAHAT ng illegal vendors sa kalsada. isipin mo pumasok kami sa juan luna street ng 11am. nakalabas kami ng soler, bandang 2pm. parang nag out of town trip kami

yung mga vendors nasa gitna na ng kalsada

tapos pag nasagi mo sila pa matapang.

pero feeling ko wala parin magagawa si isko. dahil sabi sa news. 6-8 million pesos ang collection ng mga protector ng mga vendors everyday. isipin mo, tax free yan. 8 million times 30 days. 240 million a month. marami kasi naghahati hati

yung mayor, mtpb , mmda , pnp , dps , yung muslim na protector, grabe ang sindikato diyan
