No system, no control

What were some DOTr advisers thinking when they recommended to Secretary Jimmy Bautista that the EDSA Bus Lane be redesigned to counterflow so that non-buses will stop entering the lane? If the President of the Philippines can finally outlaw POGO in the Philippines by simply signing a piece of legislation, why can't the DOTr, the MMDA, the LTO or the DPWH declare that the BUS LANE IS FOR BUSES ONLY!

Instead of whining for the return of the No Contact Apprehension policy that was abused by different traffic bureaus all over Metro Manila, Malacañang should call the attention of the MMDA for their lack of presence in key traffic hot zones of Metro Manila.

Secretary Jimmy Bautista should also call in his LTO chief regarding the return of modified exhaust pipes on jeepneys, motorcycles pretending to be big bikes as well as tricycles. If Sec. Jimmy consulted with his friends who still go walking or jogging, I'm sure they can all attest to the noise pollution that has returned with the new administration.
