LOL puro parusa ang nalalaman niyo. Kahit parusahan niyo mga nagkamaling drivers hindi pa rin mawawala ang trapik. Overpopulated na ang Manila... maraming tao kaya maraming sasakyan din. Kulang pa sa infrastructure. Lumabas nga kayo sa bansa ninyo para makita ninyo ang solution - ano ang ginagawa ng Singapore, Australia, Korea at Japan na hindi ginagawa ng Pilipinas. Makikita ninyo na may trains system doon at ang bus ay hawak ng state hindi kagaya sa atin na prankisa. Kaya walang nagagawang solution diyan ay dahil wala kayong outside of the box thinking... puro kayo parusahan ang nagkamali, latigo ikulong... pero hindi niyo na-identify ang problema ang ugat ng lahat ng sakit ng bansa natin. LOL.

Tama ka talaga dyan. Kakatawa nga, kahit nga enforcers kinukulang na tayo. Kaya kukuha tayo ng mga kung sino lang dyan na traffic enforcer na wala naman talagang matinong qualification, na hindi igagalang ng mga motorista lol.

 

Sabi nga, 80% ng protein ay napupunta lang sa metro manila. Lahat ng pinakamagagandang oportunidad andyan. Kaya papano naman hindi dadagsa mga tao dyan para makipagsapalaran. Lampas na sa carrying capacity metro manila. Sama mo pa dyan palpak na urban planning. Kahit saan may SM. lol.

 

Kelangan paunlarin ang mga probinsya. Kelangan buwagin political families na naghahari dun para mas pumasok marami pang negosyo. Samin sa Cam Sur, Naga ang talagang pinapasukan ng mga negosyo. Ang dami ng franchises dun, bukod pa dyan, may mga call centers na din. Maayos talaga naging palakad ni Mayor Jess. Maganda yung naiwan nyang setup. Ang kaso, ang ibang lugar sa Cam Sur, lalo na yung mga balwarte ng mga Alfelor at Villafuerte panay naghihirap naman. Kaya nga predicted namin na unti unti sisikip na din ang naga

At least kahit sumikip ang Naga, makita ng mga Bikolano ang difference ng pagunlad ng mga syudad kumpara sa iba.. Wala bang magawa si Gov. Salcdo dyan sa mga political families? Akala ko magaling yan.

Well ang mga salcedo sa albay naman sila. Cam Sur, ang families na nandyan, Alfelor, Fuentebella, at syempre pa ang mga Villafuerte. Matagal ng gusto makuha ng mga villafuerte ang Naga kasi andyan lahat ng negosyo. Ang kaso hindi sila manalo nalo dyan. Balwarte ito talaga ni Robredo. Pero di tulad ng ibang political families, hindi naman pinapamana ni Jess pwesto nya sa asawa nya. Pero maganda talaga naging setup nya sa naga. Kaya nga, halos lahat ng malalaking franchise na nasa manila, dagsa din sa naga. Bukod pa dyan nagkaroon na din ng mga call center.

 

Wala talagang gusto maginvest sa mga probinsya. Dahil balwarte ito ng mga political families, kelangan may sustento ka sa kanila kung gusto mo magtagal negosyo mo doon. Kaya outside naga, wala, puros taghirap ang mga lugar dun. Ni walang maayos na ospital o mga paaralan. Ano ba naacomplish ng mga Villafuerte? Yung water sports center tsaka caramoan lang naman na vanity project ng magamang LRay at Migz. Pero yung problema sa employment opportunities wala. Kaya nga ilan ba sa mga nasa metro manila ang hindi rin taga probinsya?

I agree na mahirap banggain ang mga political families, but being the Governor of Bicol, pwede naman niya pahimasukan what is good to all his towns.

[Edmund Dantes]

My friend is one of Maam Leni's Lawyers sa mga kaso nya kay Villafuerte. Talagang through and through panay panay ang demanda ng matandang Villafuerte sa mga robredo. Ultimo appointment nya pagkaDILG sec hinarang pa. Karamihan sa mga demanda, puros wala naman katuturan. Like he is trying to argue na chinese citizen daw si Jess dahil may chinese heritage sya lol. Anyway, ang kwento ng friend ko nung last nagkita kami, yung mga tao ni Villafuerte tatakutin ka talaga. Sa court room, harapharapan ka nilang kukunan ng picture. As if hey are saying na "tatandaan ka namin". Tapos mga ilang araw din laging may nakabantay sa harapan nila.

 

Another thing about the Villafuertes, yung mag-amang luis at LRay (Na nagmana ng kanyang pwesto sa kapitolyo) ngayon magkatunggali. Nagmumurahan silang dalawa. Parang 2 galising aso na nagpapatayan sa kapirasong buto kung mag-agawan sila sa pwesto. Tignan mo nga naman yan. What is it about power that turns men into hideous monsters?

 

Talagang political families lang (na ironically may mga negosyo din sa maynila) ang umaasenso sa probinsya. Isipin natin ito. Papano dadagsa ang negosyo sa mga probinsya kung ni walang maayos na konkretong kalsada? Kung ikaw probinsyano, ano magiging asenso mo kung yung lugar mo ni walang patubig? So natural yung mga anak mo gusto mong pumunta sa ibang lugar makapagaral man lang o makakuha ng maayos ayos na pagkakakitaan.

 

Ito ang isa pang problema sa probinsya. Ang mga put@ng in@ng NPA na yan! Sino ang magkakainteres na magnegosyo sa isang lugar na ni cell site di makapagpatayo? Kahit na nga mga bus operators pineperwisyo pa. Minsan nga, pag walang wala na mapagdelehensyahan ang mga hayop na ito, pati mga maliliit na hardware, grocery o kahit pa mga may pwesto sa local market pineperwisyo nila

To even attempt a solution to the traffic problem, one must first be able to answer the following questions: First, why is it that busses and jeepneys can get away with murder but cargo trucks can’t get away with slight physical injury? Second, why is it that there are so many government agencies involved in traffic management but only one agency involved with passports, one agency involved with birth certificates, one agency in charge of the overall economic development of the country?

Then, thanks to the local government code, each local government has its own rules, yet, there are no clear roads signs to say whether one has crossed city boundaries. That is why we have yellow Makati boys monitoring that single block of Kalayaan Avenue from EDSA to Bonifacio Global City, and Makati green boys monitoring that less than a kilometer C5 stretch in the vicinity of the elevated U-turn; but causes traffic for kilometers in Taguig and Pasig.

We could take a look also at the qualifications of traffic managers. A lawyer? Let’s be real. Queuing theory and bottleneck studies aren’t major law subjects. And with the reputation of how the wheels of justice in the Philippines turns, we may even be lucky that it does not take decades to travel from Baclaran to Monumento.

Before that, a civil engineer? A civil engineer build structures that don’t move. A hydraulics engineer may be a better bet. Or an industrial engineer who understands production process flow.

Don’t also believe the story that the drivers are undisciplined and/or don’t know the rules. Because, why is it that these same drivers become disciplined and educated when they enter Subic?

Until we realize these, we will be nowhere near the solution to the traffic problem.

Ang totooong sanhi ng traffic sa kamaynilahan ay dami ng tao. Hangang dagsa ng dagsa tao sa maynila, wala gaano magiging epekto ang mga traffic scheme, road widening, at kahit pa pagpapaganda ng rail system. Lampas na ang maynila sa tinatawag na "Carrying Capacity". Nung minsang umuwi ako, laking gulat ko na sa magallanes MRT station pa lang, sobrang haba na ng pila. Mga mahigit isa o dalawang kilometro. Dati din akong sumasakay ng MRT, hindi naman ganyan kahaba pila sa isang station. Bukod pa dyan, kita ko yung train halos nakangudngud na mga mukha ng mga tao sa salamin. Sabi sakin ng taxi driver "naku sir, wala pa yan, maiksi pa yang pila na yan kung tutuusin". Ibig sabihin dami talaga ng dami ang taong gusto pumirmi sa maynila.

 

Sino bang nakatira sa manila ngayon ang hindi taga probinsya dati? At nagdadagsaan sila dun kasi syempre andun ang trabaho. Andun ang pinakamalalaking kumpanya na mapapasukan. Andun din pinakamagagandang eskwelahan. Sino bang tao ang di maghahangad makakuha ng pinakamagandang oportunidad para sa kanya.

 

Ang totoong lasting solution sa traffic problem ay pagpapaunlad ng mga probinsya. Dalhin dyan mga malalking negosyo. Gawing competitive mga universities dun lalong lalo na kung pagmamayari ng gobyrerno. Ayusin din ang mga ospital natin dun. Dapat yung standards pareho lang sa NCR. Ang totoong sagabal lang naman sa pagunlad ng mga probinsya ay ang mga political families na kelangan may malaking kickback mula sa mga gusto magpasok ng malalaking negosyo, at ang mga NPA na talagang pineperwisyo mga negosyante

[Dr.smitch]

dumadami ang mga sasakyan sa lansangan pero ang kalsada d naman lumuluwang kya sobrang traffic na..

[Bugatti Veyron]

The solution is an effective mass transit system, not more roads nor over/underpasses. Case(s) in point: HK and SG.

I totally agree. If I lived in HK, I wouldn't even buy a car. The MTR system is so effective and efficient and the best thing of all is all the lines are interconnected as a network. Even the Star Ferry and bus networks are interconnected. Then using an Octopus card, it makes lining up to buy train tickets unnecessary. The Octopus card can even be used to purchase groceries. Great convenience for Hong Kong residents. I wish we had something like that here in the Philippines.

 

Trains travel at high speed (about 120 kph) when the distance between two stations is quite far. Case in point is the Lai King station to Tsing Yi station via the Tung Chung line of the MTR system.

[Bugatti Veyron]

retire older models ng sasakyan - oto, jeep, bus, etc.

 

libo libo bagong kotse nadadagdag kada taon pero walang nababawas

 

gayahin yung sa ibang bansa

 

di ako kontra sa mahirap - mahirap din ako at commute lang ako pero makikinabang din ako dito kasi luluwag naman kalsada

I concur. The government can start retiring older models of vehicles that aren't properly maintained. Smoke belching vehicles in particular should be the first to go. Aside from alleviating traffic, the environment also benefits with clean air and the old dilapidated public and private vehicles will not be allowed to cause mayhem on the streets because of break failure which is always cited as the number one cause of major accidents especially among pubs and pujs.

hmmm i guess make the same system like columbia or something that i watch sa youtube, instead of train they use bustrain, so if ever the volume of passeger goes up they just added another bus and they just go looping with out any problem.

Yeah that's the modular concept.

the best way to solve the traffic problem is to

 

a, Improve public transport like the MRT and LRT

b. Buses and jeepneys should be owned and operated by the government in an effective manner, not by private entities

c. taxes on private vehicles must be increased. nowadays, for the mere amount of 30k you can bring home a car

d. widening and creation of more roads

 

all of these must go together

 

 

the solution is not the coding scheme but more on the effective governance and discipline by the people

I totally agree with all these proposals.

[Bugatti Veyron]

Last Wednesday, after being 4 hours delayed sa domestic flight, timing na rush hour pa sumalubong sakin pagbaba sa NAIA 3! Pagdating ng magallanes sobrang traffic bumulaga. Mula dun hangang megamall inabot ng lampas 2 oras! Sabi wala pa nga daw yan nung holiday rush.

 

Isa lang naman talaga problema sa Metro Manila! Its too congested na. Lampas na tayo sa carrying capacity ng lugar. Dagsa lagi mga tao sa Manila. Most of our countries "protein" goes to manila. Andyan lagi ang best opportunities for anything. Wala halos sa mga probinsya. It does not also help na puros political families ang may ari ng mga probinsya. Mga 100 years na sila pa din nakaupo. Malapalasyo mga bahay nila, pero yung paligid puros kubo. Walang opportunity masyado sa probinsya, squat sa manila. Kahit bigyan mo yan sila ng pera para balikan probinsya nila, ano mapapala nila kung mamamatay naman sila sa gutom dun? Eto para mga proposed ko

 

1. Paunlarin mga probinsya. Kung pwede subukan natin magtransition to more federalized setup. Para bawat probinsya mas umuunlad at di lahat dagsaan sa manila. Buwagin ang political families, kasi habang buhay ang mga political families sa probinsya, napakahirap maginvest ng negosyo dun kung wala kang basbas nila.

 

2. Improve transportation system. Damihan ang rail systems natin

 

3. Agree higher taxes sa mga sasakyan. Mas mabigat o malaki sasakyan mo, mas mahal dapat bayaran ng tax. Kung wala kang parking space, dapat di ka pwede magmay ari ng sasakyan

 

4. Limitahan dami ng bus at jeepneys. Hulihin yung mga walang prangkisa. Ang nakakainis sa mga jeep na yan, pag sila nababanga mo, kelangan mo sagutin pagpapayos ng sasakyan nila at mawawalang kita nila. Pero pag ikaw nabangga nila, sorry lang naman bibigay sayo.

 

5. Linisin mga bangketa. palayasin mga sidewalk vendors, parusahan mga pasaway na pedestrians

 

6. Magtalaga ng mas kokonting loading unloading zone. Ang hirap kasi satin, gusto natin tapat lagi mismo tayo ibababa, ayaw matuto maglakad ng konti. Baka gusto pa yata, may red carpet at bandang sasalubong. Tsaka may oras dapat pagtigil sa isang stop

 

7. Disiplina syempre. Isa pang problema natin, simpleng batas trapiko at batas kalye ayaw pa sundin. Asal hayop na nga sa kalsada, pag sinita mo, sasabihin violated human rights mo.

These are all excellent proposals. I particularly liked the one where provinces should be developed so people living there won't need to come to Metro Manila to look for job opportunities here. The next president should make the development of provincial areas his main goal. And there shouldn't be any politics involved such as "you are a Romualdez while the president is an Aquino". For the sake of the nation, politics should not be allowed to interfere with the development of provincial areas. Many people will voluntarily return to their provinces if employment is available over there.

 

But first things first. The government must provide 24 hour electric service in the provincial areas. I understand that some provinces only enjoy 12 hours of electricity. What company would want to set up their plants in an area where electricity and other vital infrastructure is sorely lacking? The government must invest first in infrastructure development of these provinces. And then companies will seriously consider putting up their operations there.

 

Presto, Metro Manila will be decongested as people make a bee-line for their respective provinces, never to return to Metro Manila.

[Bugatti Veyron]

its just a combination of:

 

a. more cars, few roads. why do people buy cars? because:

b. lack of efficient public transportation..... why?

c. lack of proper urban planning and corruption.

 

retiring old cars will not work..... dahil its easy to get a new car these days.... ang baba ng cash outs.

sa akin, ayusin muna ang public transportation.

Yup, an effective and efficient public transportation system will lower the demand for new cars. But the words effective and efficient pre-supposes proper maintenance of the system. Something we Filipinos are extremely poor at. Just look at the state of the MRT

[Bugatti Veyron]

sa edsa dapat gwa sila ng elevated na daan sa gitna.

para lang sa mga bus para di nila ipitin mga daan sa edsa.

kadalasan sila rin ang dahilan ng pagkatrafik.

tapos pag may aksidente, lahat ng daan apektado.

 

Wala na rin mga tao mag-iintay sa daan ng edsa. lahat aakyat na lang sa elevated highway.

I like this suggestion. A double decked EDSA sounds really appealing. If they can create a skyway on top of SLEX, why don't they do the same for EDSA? Even if it means private car owners need to pay toll, I think people would be willing to pay the toll to be able to drive from Caloocan to Pasay in 30 minutes or less. One has the choice of taking the slow route which is toll free or pay the toll and get to your destination in just a few minutes.

[Bugatti Veyron]

One very simple way to help minimize traffic is to strictly enforce the "yellow box" located at intersections. A green light gives motorists permission to cross the intersection. It does no give motorists permission to block the intersection.

 

So if a motorist has the green light but the road in front of him isn't moving, the motorist should not proceed. He should wait for vehicles on the road ahead to move first before attempting to cross the intersection.

 

Any motorist who is caught blocking the yellow box at the intersection should be made to undergo a seminar. The violation should also be recorded and each time he violates this rule will increase the penalty. 3 strikes and you're out. Violators of this rule should have their driver's license revoked for a period of at least 6 months.

 

Traffic is bad enough as it is without stupid people deliberately adding to it by not following traffic rules. MMDA enforcers who are tasked with keeping intersections open should stop doing this but instead apprehend drivers who block the intersections. Keep this going for at least a year, feature the rule in the news and before you know it, motorists will automatically follow this rule like it was second nature.

 

It's time to stop spoon feeding motorists about keeping intersections open. Drivers should be responsible enough to follow such a simple rule without traffic enforcers having to instruct them not to block the intersection. Drivers will not learn if traffic enforcers spoon feed this rule to them all the time. It's about time that motorists learn what it is to be a responsible driver without being coached by traffic enforcers.

Ditch the MMDA. Sila mismo ang eyesore sa lansangan. Then create a new system with stricter implementations and re-educate all drivers on proper road decorum.

It's not that easy dissolve any government entity unless a new administration takes place.

Not just the drivers man, pati mga mismong enforcers na yan. Magtataka ka kung ni humawak man lang yan ng manibela. At sinong gagalang sa kanila eh mukha yatang di pa tapos ng HS mga yan? Kaya tuloy malalakas loob ng mga mayayamang motorista na sapakin o sagasaan mga yan. Ang punto ko dito, kung bibigyan yan sila ng authority, dapat naman magmukhang karapatdapat at professional man lang. Pumasa naman sila sana ng mahirap hirap na exam. Dapat sila mismo may alam sa batas.

 

Pero ang problema din kasi, ang dami dami ng sasakyan di na kaya ng ordinaryong pulis pangasiwaan nito.

Aside from this, I think MMDA traffic officers should also look intimidating. No skinny, short applicants please. Applicants must be at least 5'10 tall, 180 lbs, minimum. When one visits the USA, the first thing one notices is the size of the cops. Most are over 6 feet tall, over 200 lbs of muscle. They all look very young, with short cropped hair. Their mere presence is intimidating. And an intimidating law enforcer commands respect.

 

Who's going to respect a 5'4 inch law enforcer, who weighs 130 lbs? There's nothing like a big bad looking traffic enforcer who looks prepared to kick ass.
