if the issue is about fuel efficiency and fuel consumption then it is rather illogical since there are brand new vehicles that spend as much fuel as the "older model" cars...but if the purpose is traffic decongestion then it needs a more comprehensive consultation from both the public utility vehicle operators and the private sector...ug mahitabo ni asa kaha ipamutang ang mga kaoshiong buses?

maybe cars/vehicles that are at least 15 years older or more; but not necessarily ban them, if they are still roadworthy, then maybe for that mas taas ang tax/registration fee...and i hope lang unta i-limit if not stop na nila cge import ug surplus na sakyanan sa atoa uy...mao ng napuno atong kadalanan, not to mention pollution pa tungod ani...

it's a good proposal, but 2008 or older, dli mada...adjust lang unta gamay..ayo lang unta ug kaaford tanan sakyanan dba or okay atong economy kay dli cguro ni problema...

your right! 15 years older or more gyud ug dili ban tanan, coz naa bya mga owners na very particular kaayo sa ilaha sakyanan then ilisan dayon nila ug parts na nindot, roadworthy gihapon.... and of coursedili tanan maka afford ug buy ug four wheels,,,,,,,, pero naa solution ani tanan para maka buy ta ug brand new dapat--HYPERWAGE na ta!

kung mao ni iyang gusto mas una pa mahurot ang government vehicles kay gabaha ang mga karaan diha. ambulance,police mobile ug fire trucks palang daan karaan na kaayo. to think 3rd world country ta di tanan maka afford. sa mga politiko tingae ka afford sila kay daghan silag kwarta.. himu2 ug bill nga walay klaro murag focus ra kaayo sa usa ka issue sobraan naman ni ka bright si miriam nalikoy na gamay.

on the other side. na man sad ni mga pros. i think mao ni ang law sa japan, nga dili pwde mga outdated cars.. para man pud ni maka lessen sa traffic kay atong mga roads are getting more congested ud everyday tungod sa nagkadaghang sakyanan especially mga puv nga pirti ka karaan nagdagan gihapon...

Just to clear up the misconception that Japan bans old cars... Japan actually does not "ban" old / outdated cars. The only reason why the Japanese change their cars often is that they have a yearly inspection standard that gets more expensive to maintain as your car gets older since you will have to replace more and more parts that are used. In the 3rd or 4th year it will come up more practical to just buy a new car than get your old one inspected (or "shaken" 車検). Unless you really are attached to your car. There are still owners there that keep their classics or "tuner cars" and pay for the costly inspection fees.

And they really do inspect your cars if it is up to spec. Including the engine specs, chassis, lights, etc. Which explains why most surplus vehicles coming into the country actually is better kept than most locally bought cars.

Agree with your statement. Remove all the jeepneys... ... ... no more congestion ... its like magic!!!
But not very practical magic though since it is the primary source of public transportation in the Philippines. hahaha I guess there are no other viable solutions to this problem yet since we are all used to taking the jeepney everywhere.

If you take a step back and look at things dili man subra ka daghan mga awto dire... daghan lang gyud bottlenecks tungod sa mga jeepney stops nga himo.an ug jeepney "terminal" nga abot sa tunga mag hunong. But once you get past all those bottlenecks you will see clear roads... well, until the next jeepney stop. Wait for a jeepney strike and try driving in the city. Then enjoy the clear roads and the absence of traffic.
