Dear Rappler Reader,
This week’s #AnimatED takes on the Metro Manila traffic problem which, we expect, will worsen as the schools whose calendars have already shifted open up their classes this second week of August.
Along with flooding due to monsoon rains, we expect that this would cause huge traffic jams along major thoroughfares.
Solving Metro Manila’s traffic woes is one of the President’s campaign promises. But while the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) cracks its whip on Grab and Uber, we note that little has happened with regard to the promised crackdown on colorum busses and terminals that the President vowed to pursue in his first State of the Nation Address. Little has happened as well to improve the capacity of the megacity’s train system.
Where are the planned improvements? What has been done with respect to those plans? We ask these vital questions as we bring you today’s top news.
