  • FY 2009 (Annual)
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY METROPOLITAN MANILA DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CY 2009 ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT Metro Gwapo, MMDA’s flagship program, has come a long way since its inception a couple of years ago. Given the glaring blight in many areas of the Metropolis, it is a pleasant surprise to see that a substantial physical change for the better has come upon Metro Manila. Inch by painful inch, Metro Manila is slowly turning into a livable and healthy city as envisioned by the leaders of this prime metropolis, both past and present. Though much remains to be done, we have taken the baby steps. With the expert use of the principle utilizing outer change to bring about inner change, MMDA has embarked on the process of social engineering. Undeniably the opposite process of starting from within to realize outer change is faster but, owing to the psychological immaturity of most of our countrymen, the principle of the outer to the inner is deemed more suitable. Here, the use of visuals help impart the lessons to a largely unthinking public. Among the more important projects for CY 2009 are the following: SOCIAL SERVICES PGMA Workers’ Inn (aka) Gwapotel Meant to ease the difficulties of the workers whose homes are far from the Metropolis, the Gwapotel or Workers Inn serves as a temporary sleeping and bathing quarters for a variety of clients (i.e. government employees, laborers, security guards, vendors, seamen and seminar / convention participants, among others. As of 2009, the MMDA operated two such inns, one in Port Area and another in Abad Santos Tondo, Manila.

  • Battling Congestion in Manila: the Edsa Problem
    Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 82, 2013 BATTLING CONGESTION IN MANILA: THE EDSA PROBLEM Yves Boquet ABSTRACT The urban density of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one the highest of the world and the rate of motorization far exceeds the street capacity to handle traffic. The setting of the city between Manila Bay to the West and Laguna de Bay to the South limits the opportunities to spread traffic from the south on many axes of circulation. Built in the 1940’s, the circumferential highway EDSA, named after historian Epifanio de los Santos, seems permanently clogged by traffic, even if the newer C-5 beltway tries to provide some relief. Among the causes of EDSA perennial difficulties, one of the major factors is the concentration of major shopping malls and business districts alongside its course. A second major problem is the high number of bus terminals, particularly in the Cubao area, which provide interregional service from the capital area but add to the volume of traffic. While authorities have banned jeepneys and trisikel from using most of EDSA, this has meant that there is a concentration of these vehicles on side streets, blocking the smooth exit of cars. The current paper explores some of the policy options which may be considered to tackle congestion on EDSA . INTRODUCTION Manila1 is one of the Asian megacities suffering from the many ills of excessive street traffic. In the last three decades, these cities have experienced an extraordinary increase in the number of vehicles plying their streets, while at the same time they have sprawled into adjacent areas forming vast megalopolises, with their skyline pushed upwards with the construction of many high-rises.

FILLONE Chino Antonio Q. QUE Associate Professor Undergraduate Student Civil Engineering Department Civil Engineering Department De La Salle University De La Salle University 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Lorenzo Leon G. RABAT Caila Jean C. MARCIAL Undergraduate Student Undergraduate Student Civil Engineering Department Civil Engineering Department De La Salle University De La Salle University 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study aims to analyze the impact of introducing a bus rapid transit along expressways linking Metro Manila to the different provinces along the North and South Luzon Expressways. Currently, provincial buses are the only mode of public transport on the expressways. These buses have terminals located within Metro Manila and are one of the factors contributing to congestion. Introducing other modes of transport such as high capacity vehicles which follow specific routes, with designated stop points and make use of a prioritized lane will help improve the current situation. The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact that the proposed BRT had in terms of traffic congestion, passenger travel time, mobility, ridership potential and pollution. The study made use of volume count and on board surveys to obtain data that were used as primary input in the transit modeling process to analyze the impact of the BRT system in the whole Metro Manila road network.

PROJECTBACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction Traffic congestion has cost the economy quite heavily in terms of the slowdown in the movement of goods and delivery of services, increased vehicle operating costs, and otherwise productive man-hours consumed as travel time, which may be quantified. The daily strain on the quality of life of the urban populace, including the labor force, students, and other regular commuters, may be difficult to quantify but they cannot be ignored. Moreover, the negative impact of traffic congestion on public health and the environment is expected to translate to economic costs in the long run. There is an imperative therefore to establish the economic impacts of traffic congestion in Metro Manila.
