Terrific Traffic

TERRIFIC TRAFFIC
-ryandgreat, starbucks intramuros


traffic in metro isn't new to us! 
mmda has been doing their best and ways to at least reduce traffic in metropolis

there were newly installed pink waiting sheds along edsa and solid yellow lines along pavement, as well as new signages

i think bus drivers wouldn't take so much effort to read all those sign boards 

and the new waiting shed is eye-catching and unique 

the problem is, hundreds of waiting sheds were placed at the wrong spot and away from the passengers

as a result, bus drivers load and unload at a non-bus stop area where they block one another and taking over the entire lane to embark passengers

that caused jam-packed traffic along major roads and the traffic flow slows down because of the volume of buses in that same spot

to address these problems, mmda should stop spending money in installing waiting sheds instead they could've impose a strict traffic rule for bus drivers 

just like in ayala avenue that manages the influx of traffic flow to include separate bus stops for the loading and unloading of passengers

it's to have a strict implementation of the rule and it's not plain enough that those offensive bus drivers sing the national anthem

and or humiliate them in public every time you catch them
