Rappler Talk: Solving Metro Manila’s transportation woes
What does it take to ease traffic in Metro Manila?

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines stands to lose up to P6 billion a day by 2030 because of worsening traffic jams.

In September, the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group began directing traffic along 6 “choke points” along Metro Manila’s major thoroughfare EDSA to ease traffic flow.

What does it take to ease Metro Manila’s traffic condition? What can we learn from the policies of key megacities around the world? How does affordable housing help ease traffic congestion?

Rappler talks to Knight Foundation’s director of community and national strategy Benjamin dela Peña on transport systems that work and the significance of implementing affordable housing policies. – Rappler.com
