Traffic Problem In Metro Manila (Merged Thread)

[will robie]

I blame Grace Poe for not granting emergency powers for traffic. Her opponents would find it easy to discredit her if she runs for president in 2022 by saying that Poe had a chance to help in assuaging the terrible traffic situation but she did not help in granting emergency powers for traffic.

Sumobra traffic when the small affordable cars flooded the metro. Majority now can easily avail the car even those without own parking space in their house. Bakit hindi ba bigyan ng Age limit yung mga car na nag tratravel along edsa? That way yung mga older car ay madisttribute sa mga provinces. Like if your car model is 10 years of age, dapat bawal na sa edsa. Di lang puro dagdag ng car, goverment should strategize how to effectively control the volume.

 

Correct, di proportion yung pag usbong ng dami ng sasakyan maski tao sa available na kalsada. Tapos yung kalsada satin dito sa Pilipinas, sa motor vehicle lang. Pag umuwi ka galing abroad lalo na matagal tagal, sobrang pansin mo dito yung kipot ng kalsada tas yung bangketa natin di din magamit, lahat di pinapagamit, mayaman o mahirap. Yung sidewalk naging basketball court, extra parking ng bangko, bentahan ng pagkain, etc.

 

3rd worlding pa din talaga ang Pinoys maski saang aspeto at kahit anong antas, mahirap o mayaman.

Volume is the issue, too many 4-7 seaters.

 

Add more trains, buses, push for carpooling atleast 4 people

 

take out private vehicles (send them to the provinces)

If volume is the issue, then the answer is more roads and have the alternate routes cleared of illegally parked vehicles. That's being done. Traffic is still heavy in EDSA and major routes. But it's easier to drive now in alternate routes that have been cleared.

 

We are adding more trains and more lines. That's being done.

 

Yes, there should be more buses, taxis, school buses and Grab. There should be less jeepneys, and tricycles.

 

They tried carpooling lane in Los Angeles. It didn't work there. It wouldn't work here.

 

Take out the private vehicles? Obviously you don't own one.

Illegally-parked vehicles in Manila are being clamped everyday. Clamping has helped improve traffic in Manila as it made motorists think twice before parking in a "no-parking" area. The clamping and clearing teams in Manila have helped decongest Manila but I truly believe that it is the Skyway that will decongest not only Manila but the whole of Metro Manila. Makati, QC and other Metro Manila LGUs should follow suit and have clamping operations everyday.

para sa akin kung gaganda ang public transport ( train , Bus and even Jeep ) mas mababawasan ang sasakyan sa kalsada. tapos displina pag nasa daan at kung pede naman lakarin ang pupuntahan please maglakad na lang menos pollution , good for the health and savings na rin.

Tama, kailangan mapaganda yung public transportation para hindi kailangan mag auto ng iba.. lalo na parame ng parame ngayun ang may auto

Will the corona virus be the solution to the traffic that has been hounding us for decades?

Nawala na ang traffic sa Edsa diba?

[ladyboym]

hehe nawala nga traffic sa edsa kasi lock down ang galing ng poon.

Regardless if it was lockdown, traffic has been reduced significantly. That is a fact.

Our infrastructure of roads and highways are not enough to handle the demands.Cars are multiplying exponentially on the road plus the undisciplined drivers. The master planners have short visions.
