Manila doesn't need any street widening. It needs fewer cars, more sidewalks, bikelanes, and trees.

If you're driving, you are responsible for driving slow enough to see everything you might kill ahead of you. If you can't see things until it's too late, you're too fast, regardless of the speed limit.

If you're in a hurry, leave earlier. Never drive in a hurry. Your most basic responsibility is to not endanger anyone with your shitty car. There is no excuse.

You don't know how frustrating it is to be driving in front of a vehicle that is moving like 30-40km/hr on a highway tapos nag mamadali kapa.. lalo pat may shoulders ung highway tapos ayaw gamitin ng mga kamoteng tricycle drivers.. marami ng hinuhuli sa ganyan just so u know.

Taxes and roads. 6% of drivers are literally subsidized by the 94% who can't afford a car, and the 6% still think they're entitled to all of our space.
Thanks

Let’s blame the government.
Not the car owners.
We all pay taxes, roads are available for use for everyone.
Improve roads, and transportation.
Regulate car ownerships.

If a driver going through a green light gets t-boned by a red light runner, Richmond wouldn't say both drivers are at fault. They don't tell drivers to slow down and look both ways, turn off their music, and roll the windows down to listen at intersections when they have a green.

Cars are one of the biggest causes of death worldwide. Cars kill. If you drive a car, the burden not to kill is on you. Without a car around, that cyclist is not in danger. As a driver, you are responsible for your vehicle.

MMDA data says private cars (richest ~6% of households), with all the licensing and registration, are involved in more than half of all crashes in the city. Around twice the rate of even motorcycles.
This ban is entirely about burdening the poor and placating the rich.

The upcoming Manila International Airport LRT1 station is 40-50 minutes from the airport on foot or on public transit.
It is intentional that there is no public transit to NAIA. The harder you make something for people, the easier they are to scam. Look at where the Ninoy Aquino extension to the LRT1 goes on the map.

Cars are killing a lot of pedestrians. MMDA logic means they have to ban pedestrians on national roads because they aren't licensed, registered, or paying road tax.
It's for the safety of the car dealers on EDSA.
WATCH: In a meeting with active transport groups on Monday, March 11, MMDA chairperson Romando Artes rejects the proposal of groups to significantly widen bike lanes along EDSA.

I know public transit doesn't work properly, and all the bus terminals were unbearable yesterday, but taking public transit space and giving it to a tiny number of people in their idiotic cars is the exact opposite of a solution.
An MMDA personnel directs traffic along Edsa Northbound. MMDA enforcers allowed private vehicles to use the bus lane as traffic approaching NLEX is not moving.

THIS! Car owners basically don't believe people have the right to even cross the road because it might 'slow down traffic'. Effectively, they believe that no one else has the right to mobility. All because cars are so wasteful of our space, so miserable to use and so isolating.
In fact, being a car owner changes you to the point where many start seeing PUVs, motor riders, cyclists, and pedestrians as nuisance on the road. Galit sa mga tumatawid, galit sa mga jeep, sa mga motor, sa mga bus. Even if these modes are what serves the majority.

But 72,000 crashes involve private cars, which basic physics, backed by 100 years of public crash data, will show, are far, far more dangerous and equally poorly driven.
This is a garbage excuse that will only ever appeal to the anti-poor middle and upper class.

This is a normal crosswalk with extra lights facing pedestrians when it's the cars that need extra reminders to stop.
This can easily be made better, by adding speed bumps, level crossing, bulb outs, removing the ped fence. Instead we get some flashy people light.

If the MMDA were concerned about people's safety, they'd widen the sidewalk, put in a stop light, and a raised speed table so people could cross safely without the need to climb stairs and walk an extra 500m out of their way. Instead, they victim blame.

3. How hard it is to find parking
4. How expensive parking is
People already hate driving. I think we need to send a clear message that cars are unwelcome guests in cities.
Reality about private cars vs public transport is people wont Take public transport even if Its readily accessible and easy if driving a car is easier and cheaper. To put it bluntly you have to make it suck to Drive a car.

Public spaces should never be run by developers like AyalaLand. Their number 1 goal is always exclusive branding, and the public using their public spaces harms that branding.
I was at Legazpi Active Park late at night (9-11pm). The playground was empty. Decided to rest my bike nearby so I could have it within sight while I sat.
Not long after, a guard approaches and reprimands me. I apologize, too tired to argue. I'm about to bring it to the rack.
