Daily 8: Proposed Solutions to the Metro Manila Carmaggedon

Daily 8 Proposed Solutions to the Metro Manila Carmaggedon

With the Senate hearing on the carmaggedon issue in Metro Manila reaching its conclusion, the public is expecting major and heavy changes that will help ease their commute and travel time in EDSA and in several parts in Metro Manila. No one wants to relive that last Tuesday horror when people got stranded and were forced to walk all the way home. *shudders*

Here are 8 proposed laws discussed during the Senate hearing that we hope to see in action (soon, hopefully):

8. Better engineering

Eduardo Yap says Manila doesn’t need a lot of traffic enforcers if we have good road engineering. LIVE: http://t.co/n16M3LTAJ5

— Rappler (@rapplerdotcom) September 14, 2015

Well, excuse all engineers who work their best to give the country good roads. What, ya think you’re better than them?

7. Mass transit system

DOTC Secretary Jun Abaya now discussing plans for mass transit systems: railway lines, BRT system.

— Katerina Francisco (@kaifrancisco) September 14, 2015

Although President Aquino already approved new LRT projects, we’re still a long, long, looooong way from getting an actual system right now when we most need it. Not in 10 to15 years when we’re probably too old to commute.

6. Odd-even scheme and car-pooling

Sotto: Madi-disenfranchise ang marami sa nag-odd-even, di praktikal ang car-pooling, tinted mga sasakyan dito @dzbb

— Nimfa R. Ravelo (@nimfaravelo) September 14, 2015

So you’re telling us that we haven’t even tried those things and you’re already saying it won’t work?

5. Infrastructural changes

Tolentino: The problem really is volume and congestion. We really need to fasttrack infrastructure.

— Katerina Francisco (@kaifrancisco) September 14, 2015

If only we could 3D-print a country. (Although that would probably be happening by the time infrastructural changes are started.)

4. No-parking zone

Sen Sotto: Instead of proposals like odd-even scheme, declare Metro Manila a no-parking zone to solve problems in entire MM not just EDSA.

— Katerina Francisco (@kaifrancisco) September 14, 2015

Almendras on illegally-parked vehicles on national roads: There is local resistance, areas where local, brgy officials allow street parking.

— Katerina Francisco (@kaifrancisco) September 14, 2015

So now we see that the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is not the only one to blame.

3. Integrated system for buses

Eduardo Yap: Organize buses. They have to be in an integrated system. Hindi yung kanya-kanya. http://t.co/n16M3LTAJ5

— Rappler (@rapplerdotcom) September 14, 2015

Finally we’re getting somewhere!

2. Traffic Czar

Eduardo Yap: Our recommendation number 1 is a Traffic Czar, someone accountable. http://t.co/n16M3LTAJ5

— Rappler (@rapplerdotcom) September 14, 2015

Maybe we should ask Duterte to be the traffic czar since he won’t be running for next year’s elections.

1. EDSA Public Consultation

Almendras says that there’ll be an #EDSA Public Consultation very soon. Comments/suggestions can be sent at edsa@cabsec.gov.ph [TeamBam]

— Bam Aquino (@bamaquino) September 14, 2015

There you go!

Do you think the government’s move to have a public consultation was the best idea they’ve had so far to solve this Metro Manila carmaggedon? Now guys, post your thoughts and ideas in the comments!
