Provincial buses prohibited on EDSA beginning April

Listen to article

메트로폴리탄 마닐라 개발 당국(MMDA)은 올해 4월부터 지역 버스가 EDSA에 출입할 수 없다고 발표했습니다.

24 Oras 보고서에 따르면, 북쪽에서 오는 승객들은 Valenzuela에 건설 중인 통합 버스 터미널에서 하차해야 하며, 그곳에서 마닐라 내 목적지로 가는 버스로 갈아타실 수 있습니다.

남쪽에서 오는 통근자들에게 산타 로사, 라구나에 있는 통합 터미널은 하차 지점이자 도시 버스로의 환승 지점이 될 것입니다.

The MMDA also added that 46 provincial bus terminals along EDSA would eventually be shut down. Fences will also be implemented along EDSA, except for designated loading and unloading areas.

bobo yung mga provincial bus ilan lang ang designated na babaan like SM North, Cubao, Ortigas, at Pasay… Parang P2P na nga sila unlike sa mga city bus kahit nasa gitna ng daan nagsasakay at nagbaba

Finally. I’ve been waiting for this. We have too many buses in EDSA , and bus drivers have no discipline. They literally cause most of the traffic in EDSA, so a reduction in the number of buses and bus terminals along EDSA will improve the traffic conditions. Let us not forget that bus drivers love to stop almost anywhere just to load or unload passengers, even right in the middle of the road.

So paano na ung maraming dala pauwi or galing ng probinsya? Magko-commute pa sila ng malayo from sta.rosa to pasay. Ung mga matatanda na sinusundo na lang sa terminal. Mas malaking pasakit pa itong gagawin na sa mga lumuluwas ng maynila.

mananakay pa rin ang talo…. hindi naman garantiyang walang trapik kapag walang probinsiyal bus…. naabala na ang mananakay sa putol na byahe tapos makakadanas pa rin ng trapik…. hay buhay… ang galeng mag isip…

putting fence except in the designated unloading/loading area makes sense. para itong mga bus driver ay di patigil tigil kung saan saan at maiwasan na din yung mga pasaherong kung saan saan bumababa. mas magiging mabilis ang byahe kapag wala ang mga sasakyang pahinto hinto kung saan saan.

This is a really dumb plan because:
1. Technology. Buses are far more efficient than cars using measures such as: Passengers per unit roadspace occupied, passenger km per liter of fuel etc.
2. Supply and Demand Analysis. There will be no change in congestion because all roadspace released from buses will very soon be filled by cars which are currently detered by congestion.
3. The plan will cause much longer travel times and extra expense for most provincial bus passengers, with very limited benefits to cars (which already occupy most of EDSA.
