8 Inventive Ideas to Solve EDSA Traffic

8 Inventive Ideas to Solve EDSA Traffic

4. Bus highway

Via Notey

One concept floating around is removing the MRT altogether and converting the railways into a dedicated bus lane, with only a handful of designated stops. This will free up regular roads for private vehicles, motorcycles, bikes, and pedestrians. While the concept is good, it calls for removing the MRT, the only alternative (read: no other choice) to commuting in EDSA by bus.

 

3. Cable cars

Via Abs-Cbn

In 2014, Bolivia adopted the use of cable cars to reduce the load on its traffic-heavy streets. Transportation secretary Arthur Tugade is seriously looking into this idea, with plans to link Makati to both Pasig and Sta. Rosa, Laguna. It could take as little 18 months to have this implemented. Just imagine, though, if there is a power interruption or technical malfunction and the gondola stops mid-air. Would be fun!

 

2. Zipline

A netizen shared a funny idea of setting up a zip line from one point of EDSA to another. It would be a fun and quick way to travel around! The longest zip line in the world though is just 2 km, and EDSA is almost 24km so it will take a bit of work creating multiple stations along the road—not to mention the height required for a zip line that long. Hope there’s a senior citizen lane—and those for pregnant women or with children.

 

1. Follow traffic rules

Obey traffic rules. Don’t counterflow. Observe the number coding scheme. Go back to driving school if you must. Realistically speaking, most of the delays on the road are caused by traffic rules violations committed by both public and private vehicles. No matter how effective a solution is, it would be useless if people don’t follow. But in Manila, this one would be one hell of a long shot.
