Since we can't build more roads to accommodate the gazillion cars on the road, why not make our public transport better?

Why not add more coaches to our MRT, LRT and Philippine Railway lines?  Of course its gonna take lots of money so why not invest now?  With the rising gas prices that no one can do anything about the commuting public is now looking for an alternative way to get to and from one point.

Another is to make the metro a walking city.  Yea I know that's almost impossible but look at Marikina.  When I say walking city it means that there should be a decent sidewalk.  Sidewalk that has working streelights, bare of hawkers, garbage and side cars. One should not be like they're playing amazing race manila sidewalk edition with all the holes, garbage and roadblocks.

Next is to fix major and minor roads as well.  start w the big one such as the maharlika highway, SLEX, NLEX, STAR, C5, C3 Roxas Blvd, Quezon Ave, Commonwealth Ave and most importantly EDSA!  When I saw fix I mean to take out all of the obstructions (broken lampposts, hanging wires), fix potholes, fix drainage and of course fix the alignment of the roads. Its malabo naman na from a, for example, a 3 lane road biglang at some point magiging isang lane nlang no.  The national government can buy a portion of the land if they have to just to fix the alignment.
