Bawal single: MMDA hit for planned driver-only ban on EDSA

Drivers are expressing their dissatisfaction and concern about social media as Manila - Peak time period reports that vehicles with only drivers are prohibited from entering EDSA

The Manila Metropolitan Area Development Authority (MMDA) announced Tuesday that the Manila subway committee approved the Highly Owned Vehicle (HOV) program, "The right to only those vehicles with two or more passengers to pass EDSA Have. "

MMDA has not announced when plan is to begin, but it received a strong reaction from the driver.

Several netizens argued quite a bit about this problem, but some people pointed out the serious problem posed by the proposed plan.

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 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. Now the driver has to handle longer traveling times and encounter difficulties outside the 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 carries out a driver-specific EDSA ban, everyone is stuck in a different place somewhere - perhaps on a crowded road than EDSA - and that takes time on the road. One of the main reasons people decided to buy a car is to save the time and effort to commute by public transport. The increase in the number of vehicles traversing major roads, such as EDSA, is due to people visiting the Traffic Network Vehicle Service (TNVS), as we can not handle the number of daily commuters, especially in our public transport.

Drivers need to look for other routes because EDSA is only available on HOVs including drivers or on vehicles with at least two passengers on board. Jojo Garcia, general manager of MMDA, said in a press release about the people's cooperation and announced that it would cut vehicles by 40% using the proposed policy on the most crowded highways in the country. According to him, this "brings about a significant reduction in traveling time and an improvement in the moving speed of EDSA". MMDA quotes EDSA's 2017 average traffic volume (ADDT) data and says "It is 60% to 70% of the EDSA's own cars, or an average of 148, 516 to 185, 645 per day". The proposed policy is aimed at reducing the number of cars causing EDSA's daily congestion, but it really is a driver's victim - paying for taxes for better transportation services, such a traffic plan People burdened by?
