The government has a brilliant idea to reduce traffic by half…

It is obvious that the current Number Coding Scheme by the MMDA is no longer working as heavy traffic has become a daily routine for millions of commuters in Metro Manila.

A number of solutions have been implemented by MMDA to remedy the incessant problems — MRT Bus, Zipper Line, MRT Beeps Cards, exclusive roads for trucks, as well as expanding the Number Coding Scheme. All that has not been very effective or almost insignificant if at all.

The latest idea, suggested by no other than Pres. Aquino, is to implement the Odd-Even Scheme.

Ang akin po: Ang pinakaradikal dito ay hatiin ang bilang ng bumibiyaheng sasakyan — salitan ang pagbabaybay ng odd at even na plaka sa ating mga kalsada kada linggo. Pihadong luluwang ang trapik dahil kalahati ng sasakyan ang mawawala (The way I see this, the most radical solution would be t implement an odd-even scheme based on the license plate numbers of vehicles. Traffic flow will surely ease up, because half of the vehicles would vanish from the streets). – Pres. Aquino

We believe there is a more efficient way to de-congest EDSA but what the government is looking is an immediate and clear-cut execution that has an effect, regardless if it is palatable to the driving public.

    Sir, with all due respect, you believe there is a better solution and yet you did not provide your ideas.. The problem is us Filipinos, we lack the discipline to follow the rules and regulations, specially if inconveniences us and no one is looking. I admit that I fall victim to this from time to time but I still try to do what is right most of the time. Simple queueing, pocketing small gum/candy wrappers will go along way towards breaking our bad habit.
