Manila Traffic 100 Days

Ā 

(SPOT.ph) Motorists and commuters have something to look forward to in the coming months. MalacaƱang says they are set to implement new systems to improve traffic flow in the Metro. ā€œWithin the next hundred days you should be feeling some improvements,ā€ Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella told CNN Philippines following a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, July 12.

Abella also said Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade is currently putting together several possible solutions to Metro Manila's traffic problem,Ā GMA News reported.

Ā 

ā€œSec. Tugade made a presentation yesterday and already they have a menu of changes which could very positively impact the rate of flow—traffic flow, soon, very soon,ā€ he said.

Ā 

Among these solutions are building waiting rooms for commuters and establishing ticket booths outside the stations where transportation passes could be bought to decongest queuing.
