It was one of the recommendations of @AltMobilityPH’s multi-sectoral Philippine Mobility Summit - but for better coordination over trimming bureaucracy.
If I’m not mistaken, this is also how transport agencies like @TfL are structured.

.@michael_delizo, thanks a lot for featuring @AltMobilityPH’s Batas Bisikleta. If I may say so (haha!), it’s such a helpful resource for bike commuters!
New copies out at bike shops and bike friendly cafes soon! You may also download a copy via linktr.ee/altmobilityph

Some people ask, how can the volume of cars have *decreased* along EDSA when it feels like things have gotten worse in the last 10 years?
Answer: Volume here is a measure of vehicle *flow.* If EDSA is congested more often than before, you would expect flow (of cars) to decrease.

"The truth is, it will fail to solve mobility issues if not designed along other transport systems" like jeepneys and buses that would service rail stations.

The President should direct government agencies to toe the line, end regime of car-oriented and outdated policies; Prioritize active, public transport. Direct Congress for proper AT/PT funding, and to tag the Philippine Bicycle Act as a priority bill.

Here’s an excerpt of my conversation with @MikeDefensor on improving mobility in Metro Manila: Less car-centricity; promotion of walking, cycling, and mass public transportation.

Good to hear DOTr ASEC de Velez acknowledge the many mistakes have been committed in Metro Manila; a deliberate move to ensure it isn’t replicated in cities outside of Manila.
But I hope this isn’t a way out of implementing reforms to address mobility issues in Metro Manila.

In Manila, we have @AltMobilityPH’s #Bikenomics that estimate personal savings at PHP281k/year and Government savings at PHP26Mn/km.

“If we immediately switch to building our cities around people instead of cars… this would boost the wealth of the United States by about $7 trillion per year, which would compound into about 770 trillion over the next five decades.”

Applying this to current e-Trike + road safety discussions
1. Private cars remain priority for road space that, on the ave., transport only 1-2pax;
2. Little to no space is allocated for other modes;
3. By design and policy, speed is encouraged and this is counter to road safety – at Pasig City, National Capital Region
We need a shift in mindset:
1. The hierarchy of road users dictate that vulnerable road users come first;
2. Designing streets for the most vulnerable is designing streets for all;
3. Complete Streets: Space distributed equitably such that there is space for all

Thanks, @Ted_Cordero @gmanews for sharing @AltMobilityPH’s Bikenomics! While expected, as the article says, seems like the same old tactics from the Government. As 2024 sets in, we wish for a new approach to improving mobility, regardless of the season.

TLDR: The real problem is the government’s over-prioritization of motor vehicles. It should instead help Filipinos get access to cheaper, more efficient forms of transport that will eventually improve mobility for all.
Salamat @Patrol_Pilipino + @michael_delizo

"The evaluation of traffic data on Ortigas Avenue revealed that the current physical delineators are causing congestion and reducing the road's capacity"
MMDA's own data:
180,737 in 2019 w/o bike lanes vs
179,661 in 2022 with
A difference of -0.60% BEFORE counting bicycles 🤡
