The $18 Billion annual
economic loss because of the Metro Manila traffic is too much. This data is from
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
It is safe to forecast that
this economic loss will balloon, as we see no solution to end the Metro Manila
traffic problem.
Stop the Increasing Number of Cars Plying Metro Manila
The implementation of the
luxury tax is not enough. We cannot prevent the rich and middle class from
buying additional cars. The car manufacturer will find a way to create a
marketing promotion that will make buying cars, despite the high prices,
attractive.
By stopping the number of
cars plying in Metro Manila, I mean putting a cap on the number of cars that
should be roaming around the roads.
More Mass Transportation means more MRTs
Skyways will never solve the
problem, especially, if the number of cars will continue to increase.
Eventually, the increased will clog these skyways.
Metro Manila Traffic Results to an Economic Loss of $ 18 Billion
I hope sooner than later the
Government or a private initiative, or a combination of these two pillars of
our society will be passionate in solving and ending the Metro Manila Traffic.
