Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better. The traffic got BETTER.

The task is to make rail transport more fashionable again. Build more tracks, provide comfortable stations and more trains, make them run on time, link these stations with other efficient modes of transportation, and require all government officials to use the trains for travel!

Most officials cannot tell, on sight, which roads are "national" "local" or "barangay" and that's because the definition has nothing to do with the actual physical characteristics of the road. x.com/njytolentino/s…

I don't think e-bike owners ever set out to break the law. They just wanted safe mobility and the same access to the city as someone who owns a car or motorcycle. Banning light electric vehicles from most of our city is an anti-climate, anti-human, pro-pollution policy.

Yung pamilyang nageetrike? Yung manong na naka pedal assisted bike? Kaagaw mo na sila sa punuan na public transpo. Yung iba pipilitin bumili nalang ng kotse at ngayon nasa harap niyo na yung kotse nila dumagdag lang sa stoplight. 🤷‍♂️

It's mind-boggling that we record thousands of licensed motorists involved in road crashes but not learn that something else needs to be done for road safety aside from requiring registration.

You know what's funny is that the only reason bicycles are still allowed on PH National roads now is that without bicycles, our urban cities would have completely collapsed during the pandemic.

I remember the e-scooter debate on whether or not they should be allowed on national roads and bike lanes. The arguments then were pretty much the same as now. It was a battle fought and a battle won. Seeing this sign is a nice reminder of that.

A reminder that e-bikes are speed limited but cars and trucks aren't.

This is my route to work and I always think about how the thousands of people here (including those in cars) breathe the foul air which is obviously bad for our health and we're supposed to just accept that. No amount of road widening or elevated expressways can fix this.

I guess it's time to remove play areas to make room for a wider road and bigger parking lot. That's what the experts do everywhere else.

When SUVs were crashing into pharmacies and banks here in Metro Manila, not once was vehicle and driver registration seen as an issue, nor did anyone bring up banning SUVs.

"Very few people use the bike lanes, they're a waste, we should remove them." A transportation basic: efficient transport lanes look *empty* most of the time because people have already gotten to their destinations. Compare the image to the timelapse! x.com/KevinRupasingh…

I used to have a traffic radio on my office desk so I always heard these reports. The Metrobase report is written exactly how it's reported in radio. Sadly it's usually the same traffic situation everyday, or worse.

New study concludes that e-bikes can help cities in the developing world escape the automobile's stranglehold: "The ownership of e-bikes emerges as an important mitigator of car ownership." doi.org/10.1016/j.jtra…
