‘Kung single ka, don’t rush’: Driver-only car ban on Edsa brings out funny reactions, best hugot lines

Filipinos proved vibrant again, especially when responding to national concerns.

This time Pinoy users proposed the most interesting proposal to avoid the proposal of the Manila Metropolitan Development Authority (MMDA), which prohibits Edsa from driving a special car during its peak hours.

According to a resolution approved by the Manila City Council on Tuesday, all lanes on the main road will be assigned to vehicles with at least two passengers including the driver.

After listening to this news, netizen answered this question and some people attacked the traffic management department. JC Rigor (@ riggy_ rigs) provides a solution on Twitter that can help people to solve problems: instead of hitting MMDA, bring a life-size doll as your passenger

But for most netizens, they think this is the best opportunity to show off their best game line. "Sa Do not worry about a crazy saluter, Kang's single KA. [A] And remember, it may always be Edsa." Loidita (@ loidita) plans to drive only Edsa It reminds people who are doing.

At the same time, MatamaanKa (@ MatamaanKa) 's Twitter page will be inserted in the driver and advised. "Single, single, na ... ... Utang na loob tayo nalang (you are single, I am also single) Please join us!"

Papamike 17 (@ papamike 17) cried deeply into the proposed policy, "Saan pa ako lulugar nito (where are you putting me?)".

Clar (@ Clar Tanganco) is looking for a partner who already wants to be with her, but under these circumstances "There is no commitment, but EDSA is not responsible with me." "She added. As long as I need you the most, I do not have dinner reservations or expensive gifts. "

As the government is banned, Tito John (@ johnjaranjarann) thinks that he will also look for partners first. He even said joking that the plan was a sign

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian also had problems.

Whatever funny reactions and troublesome lines are, Filipinos must give MMDA a chance and trust them. According to Jojo Garcia, general manager of MMDA, about 70% of Edsa's vehicles are occupied only by vehicles with only drivers. / RA

The objective of the ban is to reduce the vehicle at peak time and increase the speed of the EDSA. In practice, however, traffic will only change from peak time to another time, and secondary roads are more crowded as people avoid EDSA. Drivers have to handle long travel times, and you have to encounter difficulties outside EDSA. The unbearable flow of EDSA is enough to define "forever" for some people and over the years it has led us to miss the first class in work, early meeting or school . However, as MMDA is implementing driver-only ban on EDSA, everyone is locked in elsewhere - perhaps on a crowded road than EDSA - and afraid of longer time on the road To have

Regardless of peak time, EDSA seems to be congested forever. The car runs on the 23.9 km highway and takes at least 1 hour to travel in less traffic areas. Commuters flocked to the street, fought each other, and stood up on a crowded bus. The subway subway suddenly runs along the old track, doubling the maximum load capacity. If the train is not suffering from another technical obstacle, this is a good day for the commuter. This is like today's Manila - a house with a population of 15 million during the day, urban environment in the automobile center, the car dominates the road, and public transport is neither efficient nor organized.

The MMDA driver ban was ordered last December, but it was limited to two lanes of EDSA. After several days, the ban was canceled because it was difficult to inspect a dark car. MMDA also acknowledged that they did not have sufficient manpower and infrared cameras to more easily catch criminals. The objective of the ban is to reduce the number of vehicles at the peak and raise the speed of the EDSA. In practice, however, traffic will only change from peak time to another time, and secondary roads are more crowded as people avoid EDSA. Now the driver has to handle the longer traveling time and must encounter difficulties outside the EDSA.
