    Mas madali daw magimplement eh. Haha

    Back then din, pumili din sila kung BRT or MRT3. They went with MRT3. Naalala ko pa yan na mahal yung presyo ng ticket. Pinababa lang ni erap kasi kaunti gumaganit.

Pag baba lang tulay marikina bumagal kasi nga dami jeep magsasakay tapos stoplight din.

    Kung humaurot ako pwede mas maaga ako maybe 10 to 15minutes pero whats the rush. Ano ako bumbero. Chaka delikado mga 60kph doon sa dinaanan ko madami naglulusutan sa inner roads.
    30kph is relatively "fast" if you are exclusively moving about in the city, sir. Question is, are you able to sustain this speed, say, for one full tank cycle or even more?

    Better if you share with us your average speed, as indicated in you vehicle's MID, as I think this will give us a better picture of how fast or how slow you are really moving about in the city. Not this one time trip that anyone can be lucky to attain also.

    I myself was able to travel from Mount Carmel (in Q.C.) to Glorietta (in Makati) last Saturday in 50 minutes tops. No rush, just chill driving. Route was Broadway -- M.Paterno -- Ortigas -- EDSA -- Ayala. Left the church at 4pm, arrived at the mall at 4:50pm.

    A lot of politicians back then have invested heavily on trucking business. They make sense

    You nailed it sir -- we have the same experience. My reading actually says I average 11-12km/hour going around Metro Manila on one full tank. I really can't fathom someone averaging 30km/hour around this traffic infested city, day in and day out. Must be an exaggerated figure, IMO.

    The latest MMDA record for the average speed along Edsa is 19.36 kph.

    In the States, when the average travel speed plays around 60 kph along I-5, people would panic and would call it a very bad day.
