Carless Day in Manila a Solution to Oil Crisis?
I think the imposition of Carless Day in Manila wouldn’t be fair enough to all the Filipinos. Perhaps there are other solutions aside from prohibiting the use of cars in a day. The idea of Carless Day is actually a good suggestion, but i am sure it would be impossible. It would be of help maybe.
If you are sending your kids in school everyday, would you care to suffer your kid’s safety and concern by using Public Utility Vehicles? This is not a topic against PUV, but definitely you wouldn’t want your love one to suffer from this issue.
In the history of New Zealand, Carless days were introduced on 30 July 1979. Every owner of a petrol powered, private vehicle under 4,400lbs (apart from motorbikes) had to nominate one day of every week when they would not drive that vehicle on the road. The day was indicated by a coloured sticker on the windscreen - there were (from memory) different colours for each day? A similar color coding in the Philippines.
And during Carless Days, Tricycle and bicycle lanes are pushed. Watch the video.

If you are living in a far place and there’s no other mode of transportation aside from your car, would you agree in imposing Carless Day?
Carless Day in Manila a solution to oil crisis? Do you have other solution in mind?

Carless day? It’s wishful thinking! Thought the idea is a noble one, I don’t think it can be implemented fully! Dito pa sa Pinas eh bayan tayo ng matigas ang ulo! Sigurado there will be sectors asking for exemptions: mga doctors because of patients daw, mga gov’t officials on official duty daw, mga tongressman, at mga “si general ako”. Hay naku!
Okay sana yung intention but let’s be more realistic with our plans, Edno Joson!

Itots, actually madami na din namang nagamit ng bike dito sa atin tulad sa UP Diliman. Pero dapat pili pa din kung saang mga lugar dapat implement ito. Alam mo naman ang mga daan sa atin minsan delikado.

Ayusin dapat ang public transportation system para hindi na kailangang magdala ng sasakyan ang karamihan. Bakit ba ayaw natin mag-commute? Kasi matagal ang biyahe, hindi comportable, hindi safe minsa, etc.
Kung gagawan ng paraan na mapabilis, maayos at ligtas ang pagbiyahe, mas maraming tao ang mag-iiwan ng kotse sa bahay at magco-commute na lang. Opinyon ko lang po.

Hindi naman ang dahilan kung bakit mataas ang gasolina eh ang sasakyan eh.
Yung hayop na tax ng gobyerno. Yun ang labis na nagpapahirap sa mga Filipino.
Yung tax na mahal tapos hindi pa bumabalik.
Kung para sa polusyon naman ang panukala nila.
Tanggalin ang mga bumabiyahe na bus na smoke belcher.
Sa totoo lang madaling gumawa ng masama at mabuti.
Pero ang resulta hindi pareho.
Yun nmang mamang traffic enforcer.
Hindi po lahat ng mongkahi eh solusyon na.
Bakit lahat ng politiko hirap na hirap gumawa ng tama.
May sakit na kasi ang mga pulitiko sa paggawa ng mali.
Sasakyan daw pagdiskitahan.
Pero atleast my nabibigay ng solusyon. Ok yan si Cong. Joson.
Mabait yan. Kaya lang medyo hirap din silang i give up yung pork barrel nila.
Tsaka di pa aminin ni Gloria TAX ang pahirap sa bayan.
Yung hayop na EVAT na yan.
Pamasahe mo sana. Na EVAT pa. Lubaklubak naman ang kalye.
Psenya na kayo may parekoy.
Palibhasa yung pera talaga ang naghuhubad sa tao.
Bwisit ka Gloria at Mike. Pati mga anak niyo.
Garapal talaga.
D kayo marunong mandiri. Sabagay yung baboy di alam
yung nakakadiri.

Kailangan uli na Pilipinas ng isang leader hindi presidenteng upo.
Upuan ang favorite place.
Kailangan nating yung matigas at may puso sa tao maging mahirap o mayaman.
Yung may direksyon ang buhay.
Kasi kung mahal niya yung sarili niya.
Kaya nia rin mahalin ang iba.
Alam nia ano pakiramdam ng naghihirap.
Alam nia yung pakiramdam ng sumasala sa oras.
Dapat ganon ang leader na presidente.
Mahirap kay Gloria. Hindi alam kung saan patungo yung buhay nia.
Alam nio guys. Cancer din aabutin nian. Gaya ni Cory.
Maybahay na walang alam kundi dasal ng dasal na paulit ulit.
Dinala ang Pilipinas sa kahirapan.
Yung katakawan sa lahat ng bagay talga ang magpapahirap sa
isang tao.
Naghihirap din yang si Gloria at Mike. Hirap silang isipin
kung papaanon itatago yung kinulimbat nila.
Gigil ng gigil ako sa gobyerno natin.
Basura kahit saan nagkalat. Habang ang mga hayop.
Paupo upo sa upuang umiikot.
Hindi mahirap ang pilipinas.
Pulubi nga may cellphone. Totoo mga pare. Tawa na ako eh.
Pulubi may cellphone. Alam pa pumidot. Grabe. Tapos mahirap daw tayo.
Mamura mo talga eh. Basurero nga sa atin marunong mag english.
Yung bansa na hindi marunong. Mayaman. Bakit ganon.
Pero yung bansa na yon naghahangad pa na matuto.
Kasi akala nia mahirap pa siya.
Grabe na kayo Gloria mandiri naman kayo.

A carless day is possible and practical, and a great excuse to hold a slumber party! Imagine, you and your office barkada agree to sleep in one of your houses. The next day, you all take PUVs to work, back to the host’s house, and get picked up there!
