As part of its efforts to ease traffic in Metro Manila, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority is considering an expanded number coding scheme.
MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino on Thursday proposed to expand the number coding scheme to two days per week instead of one day only.
According to a post on Twitter dzBB's Nimfa Ravelo, Tolentino will submit the proposal to the Metro Manila Council, which is set to meet on July 24.
The Metro Manila Council is composed of Metro Manila mayors, Metro Manila congressmen, and other officials, including Transportation and Communications Secretary Jose de Jesus and Public Works and Highways secretary Rogelio Singson.
Quoting Tolentino, Ravelo said the proposed coding scheme includes the banning of cars with plates ending 1, 2, 3, and 4 on Mondays; 5, 6, 7, and 8 on Tuesdays; 9, 1, 0, and 2 on Wednesdays, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on Thursdays, and 7, 8, 9, and 0 on Fridays.
GMA News Online tried but failed to contact Tolentino as he was still in a meeting.
Earlier, socio-economic planning secretary Arsenio Balisacan said Metro Manila may be losing up to P2.4 billion in lost potential income a day due to traffic. — LBG, GMA News

They are completely missing the point.
This is how they do it in other countries:
1. Fix the thoroughfares. Widen the lanes.
2. Regulate the public transport sector properly. Get rid of antiquated buses/jeepneys still plying the routes.
3. Remove roadblocks and bottlenecks. Sidewalk vendors, public vehicles stopping anywhere - these are unsafe and slow down traffic along heavily crowded areas.

to this, i will agree with you sir.... because just as i observed along EDSA, the build up of traffic jam always happen when there is a Bus stop point... or there is a u-turn...
dapat lung ipapatupad ang number coding na ganito, dapat pati sila sumailalim sa ganito. Palibhasa kasi hindi sila makakaranas ng ganito dahil official sila ng gobyerno, hindi nila malalaman ang hirap....tsk tsk....
+karma sa iyo sir zzgundam and sir joe

Agree with 2 and 3. Get rid of pasaway buses, collorums, etc. Removing sidewalk vendor is a must. Sila kasinakakapagpasikip sa traffic..
Widening lanes, eto ang mahirap. Maliit lang kasi ang land area sa pinas unlike sa ibang bansa like us na pede sila makagawa ng 10 lanes na area. May nagsulputan na mga structures na totally naging dahilan kung bakit maliit lang ang lanes sa atin.
Dapat na rin siguro centralized bus stops. At well schedule yun dating ng mga buses.. tulad sa ibang bansa kung saan nakabased palagi sila sa schedule ng trips ng mga buses..

1. malabo na itong widening, karamihan ng kalsada natin, sagad na sagad na. kabilaan, residential, commercial bldgs. na, pwede mo lang mapaalis eh ung pasok sa ROW ng highways.
2. wala kasing political will ng mga namumuno sa mga ahensyang may hawak dito at malambot batas natin dito. makakuha lang ng TRO mga 'affected' na mga ito, wala na namang saysay ung batas na nagbabawal sa kanila na magbyahe pa.
3. same reason as no. 2, walang political will mga local leaders. takot sila na mag-ala kamay na bakal sa mga pasaway na mga illegal vendors na mga ito. bawas pogi points sa kanila kasi during election pag 'inapi' mo mga mahihirap, mga illegal, squatters na mga ito. at talagang matigas ulo ng pinoy drivers (karamihan, especially mga drivers ng PUV, buses, etc.), kaya kung pwede lang at legal lang, dami ko ng pinag-babaril na mga ganitong pasaway sa kalsada, hehehe.

kalokohan ito. wlang sense ito. lalo lang dadami ang mga sasakyan sa kalsada. bibili lang ng multiple vehicles ang mga may kaya.
dapat gawin parang singapore na centralized ang taxi at bus para walang mandaraya at maayos ang sistema para maenganyo ang mga tao magcommute at para di na kelangan magdala ng sasakyan.
at pagumayos ang bus at taxi naten. pwede nang taasan ang tax sa kotse pati sa pagrehistro/renew neto para mabawasan ang mga kotse sa kalsada. kaya lang naman ako napabili ng sasakyan dahil di maayos ang bus at taxi system naten. daming beses pa ako naholdap sa bus. hahaha.

The News Article didn't mention the planned expanded number coding will be implemented in Edsa only (not Metro Manila) as explained by Mr. Tolentino a while ago. In my opinion, lets give it a try (pag hindi umubra ibalik sa dati at sumubok ng ibang paraan. Ang importante may ginagawang paraan)
