Talk of the Town: Traffic czar proposal may work

Comments on “Traffic czar proposal may work,” (Editorial, 3/25/24)via www.inquirer.net:

Metro Manila’s long-term problem is the nonexistence of what we call the last mile or kilometer for people [using] publictransit which is clearly the solution.

Building overhead highways is good but does not address the last mile concept which means a commuter should be within a mile or kilometer from a public transit station and his destination should be within a mile or kilometer from his destination. This concept is extremely tied in with wide pedestrian walkways and building density housing within the public transit domain.

Create alternate rush hour, one-way lanes coming and going; on busy streets, rush hour no left turns; some areas traffic lights must be go and left turn to vacate the whole lane; stop-and-go jeepney system is a big contributor to obstruction. MMDA suffers from severe lack of parallel roads.
