[slakker]

strict implementation of traffic rules ra ang kinahanglan...

maski striktuhon ang trafic rules, dili maka apas sa kadaghan mu agi nga sakyanan.
dapat gyud either flyover nga taas2x or limit the vehicles

Traffic monsters such as the ones at the Banilad-Talamban (Ban-Tal) area (above) may require the eventual phaseout of PUJs from the main throroughfare. The Citom Board has approved a study about the possible replacement of jeepneys with buses.

Phase out the PUJs and replace it with public buses? A very good idea in improving the traffic, but the question is, can they provide the commuters with enough buses?

[tuWaD!!!]

dapat ang mga bus mu tuo pud sa rules. di parihas sa manila nga ang bus didto robo pud kaayo, lupigan pa ang jeep.

yeah they should provide us enough buses... and they should plan the travel interval of each bus atleast 10-15 mins travel interval so as not to cause bus build ups.

they should design a proper bus stop like these pics below

btw: what is the difference between SKYWAY & FLYOVER?

Banilad taxpayers suggest skyway, not flyover

WHY not build a skyway instead of a flyover at the Gov. Mariano Cuenco Ave. and A.S. Fortuna St. junction?

That’s the proposal of Banilad business owners that Cebu City Councilor Sylvan Jakosalem said will address the traffic problem and at the same time assuage these owners’ fears that a flyover will be bad for business.

Jakosalem said he will propose a resolution asking the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 7 to make a cost estimate for a skyway from the intersection to another one near the Gaisano Country Mall.

Building a flyover at the A.S. Fortuna junction will only worsen the gridlock across Country Mall, the councilor added.
“A single-corner flyover (at Foodland) would just transfer and worsen congestion to the Country Mall corner,” the council committee on transportation chairman said.

Jakosalem said coming up with a cost estimate is the first step toward addressing both traffic and business concerns in the Banilad-Talamban area.

Bunny Pages, owner of Bright Academy and Thirsty Juices and Shakes, also told Sun.Star last night that business owners from the Foodland area up to Country Mall have volunteered to sell their properties even at below-market prices just so the government could expand the road.

But judging from the outcome of last night’s meeting, it seemed Cebu City Rep. Raul del Mar and Mayor Tomas Osmeña are both set on building the flyover, he said.

Pages said the flyover is just “a Band-aid solution” since vehicles would still end up in a bottleneck at the Country Mall area if the road is not expanded.

He urged residents and the riding public to let their sentiments be known by the City Government’s officials.

Financed by Congressman del Mar’s Priority Development Assistance Fund, a P126.5-million flyover is being planned over the Gov. Cuenco-A.S. Fortuna junction.

The City Council and the City Traffic Operations Management (Citom) have not officially come up with a position on the flyover, Jakosalem said.

He said the City Council could authorize him to make representations with President Arroyo for the National Government to appropriate an additional amount.
