MMDA Chairman Tolentino's "brilliant" Ideas to Solve Traffic Problem in MM

[A121]

Sa experience ko as a commuter dati, kapag sumasakay ako ng bus sa fairview, puno na yung aircon bus bago dumating ng sandigan bayan. mapapansin mo rin na marami pang naghihintay along commonwealth at rush hour na hindi makasakay. napansin ko rin na karamihan ng PUV sa rush hour puno na talaga. makikipagsiksikan ka sa mga bus or sasabit ka sa jeep. stress na para sa lahat yung paghahanap ng masasakyan. MRT is beyond capacity na rin.

At ngayon sa proposal na yan, saan mo isasakay yung mga magcocommute na mag-iiwan ng kotse sa bahay? Paano mo masosolusyunan ang paglipat ng ibang sasakayan sa ibang thoroughfares? What are the alternatives presented? Asking people to sacrifice and leave earlier is not productive either. The current MMDA chairman has no foresight whatsoever. I'm willing to take public transport because it's cheap but please do make it efficient so I'll leave my car at home.

OT: Ever wonder why there is no Filipino word equivalent for efficiency?

Correct ka dyan, hindi niya inisip yung side effect ng kanyang proposal. Ang main goal lang niya ay makita na maluwag ang EDSA at sasabihin niya na meet yung goal. Mahusay

Exactly! The middle class and even the affluent dont mind commuting... If it was convenient and safe.

Interesting tidbit, no pinoy word for efficiency. And definitely it's not spelled M-M-D-A.

Buses in other disciplined countries come by every few minutes. In Singapore, their goverment already worries when 2 buses "stack" up at a bus stop.

pati nga train ma delay lang ng few minutes nagagalit na mga singaporeans. very efficient ang transport system nila. Time is precious time is gold. Eh dito sa atin filipino time lagi.
