MMDA: New Number Coding scheme might start May 1, 2022

Until what time ang coding..

No.. how about those employees who are in motor pool instead of using their cars.. if there are 10 employees in a motot pool and the service their having will be under coding scheme, those employees will be force to use their cars which is more cars will be in the road instead of only 1 service vehicle.. just a simple arithmetic..

Hello MMDA,

Suggestion lang (RE: traffic lang) – propose niyo sa appropriate government agency na hwag na i-penalize ang mga (BPO) companies na gusto mag pa work from home ang mga employees nila. Kung pag pipiliin naman siguro ang mga companies eh gusto rin nila work from home employees nila kasi makakatipid sila kaso ang may gusto mag pa return to office eh ang gobyerno (BIR). Tama ba? Malaking bawas sa traffic yan.

Panalo rin sa employees yan.

Yun lang,

Thanks

MMDA and its counterpart in DOTR must have alternative public utilities for the 40% of those whose mobility would be restricted.

Dapat include dn motorcycles kasi ang dmi na dn nla

Sana sa Dati. nalang na coding buong araw mas maganda yon kaysa sa ngayon. marami parin ang lalabas na mga sasakyan.mas matrapik pagdating Ng hapon

Only a good public transport system will ease traffic…

Gud pm sir/maam, sa akin lang po sana ibalik muli yong coding na 1 day na d mkklabas sa road/ kalsada ang mga sasakyan kumporme ending plate nila, malaking kabawasan yan trapiko, slmt po.

magiging effective gamit ang natural na liwanag.Kung nag traffic sa umaga nagagawan ng paraan ma dis engaged sa tulong ng liwanag.Whereas sa gabi for reason ng dilim at mahirap makita ang
mga officers once nag traffic wala ng
galawan.

very reactive. proactiveness is part of the key. the solution is not laying more roads or number coding. They have been proven innefective in all parts of the world. Our officials are quite “Idi___!” Commuters are the primary users and not the private vehicle owners in this country. As such, the solutions are very simple and I dont know where they have misplaced their brains. Put more buses and return the jeepneys on the road. sure, the jeepneys pollute the air, so does cars in traffic jams. Concentrate more on public mass transportation that are comfortable and affordable, and practical. Then maybe, even the car owners will opt to use public transport and thereby lessen the 80% cars on the road. Just a bunch of “Idi_ _ _!” Well, you deserve it, you voted for them. . . . . .

If public transport is efficient, reliable, easily accessible and comfortable, this will encourage motorists to commute instead. This is what a pro-active government should work for instead of implementing reactive and experimental measures

Proposed new number coding scheme is just a band aid solution. My humble suggestions are, Need additional new mass transport system(railways & others) on strategic areas, planning & implementing good city & urban plans(new inter-connected/diversion roads & bridges), monitoring system (cctv cameras) and good education on enforcement of traffic safety, rules and regulations thru signboards, visual aids and high integrity & educated traffic enforcers/personnel.

It seems to me there will be no effect if the coding is only 2hrs from 5pm to 7pm.i suggest 9am-12nn,5pm-8pm.thank you..

I have doubts on how effective it can be. For car owners, it will just trigger them to leave their offices later than 7pm, thus delaying the traffic to 7pm onwards.

Ang mangyayari dyan mawawala ang traffic 5-6 pm at lilipat from 7-8pm. Sana mag-isip naman ang gobyerno natin hindi kneejerk reactions lang.

What does 40% reduction mean? Does it mean that a 1-hr travel can be guaranteed to be reduced to 36 minutes? If so let’s go for it, but if not, then the basic problem may not be the volume of vehicles but the inability or competency of the agency lead to spear head traffic flow management. Then the reason for being of the mmda becomes a question as well with due respect of course. Just to bring in the point, if one can reduce the number of vehicle on the roads to only one at a time, obviously there would be no more traffic congestion. But for that we don’t need a big agency anymore to do that. The issue is management of traffic flow, that’s what the tax payers are paying them for, including paying the additional road user’s tax, that is to manage the traffic flow, build more flyovers, bridges, roads et al and NOT to lighten their job by just reducing the volume of cars to be managed. If their only solution is reducing the number of vehicles, even the simplest person can do that. Apologies but the additional coding is obviously a lousy solution if they cannot guarantee the travel time as well. Hope this put things in their proper perspective so as not to waste the tax payers money and worst financing the existence of an entity that will add more undue burden to them.

What does 40% translates to? Does that mean that if one usually takes an hour (60min) to travel it’s going to be reduced to 24 minutes? If not, the main problem may not be the volume issue, but the competency and qualifications of the leader and for the agency to manage large volume traffic flow. Taking the example of the Edsa corner Ayala service road south bound just before turning right to McKinkey Forbes Park. One would observe a large number of busses parked along the road causing those turning right to McKinley to take the 2nd from the right lane thereby eating up the lane for those going straight. Day in day out it’s like that esp during rush hour in the morning. If indeed a real no non sense study was conducted, the leader himself should have observed this situation. Instead, it’s been there for such a long time. So it compels the road users to believe that they are merely imposing restrictions to lessen the vehicle because of their inability to really manage large volume of traffic flow, defeating the reason why it’s called traffic management. If their only solution is to restrict and reduce, then let’s just pass a law to do this and that’s it. Abolish the agency and save a lot of tax payers money. With due respect, even a high school graduate can do that, and mostly likely even much better. Case in point, if one hypothetically reduce the number of vehicle to 1 car only, then naturally there would be no traffic congestion. The reason we need mmda is because we need them to MANAGE the TRAFFIC FLOW, and not to simply reduce the number of cars on the road. On the other hand, what happened to the Road User’s tax that car owners pay annually? All said with due respect of course to their efforts, but let’s hope this help to put things in their proper perspective and come up with a solution.

It is lack if investment over the last 20 plus years that has caused this problem.

It is worth trying to observe effectiveness of the proposed new coding.
