TIONLOC - NU Idea No. 12 Unified electric public transpo system at Makati CBD


Nu Idea No. 12: Electric Unified Public Transportation Along Ayala Avenue, Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue

I currently work along Ayala Avenue and every morning, when I walk to work, there are numerous buses and jeeps that traverse this main thoroughfare. It is noisy, disorganized, and these vehicles emit greenhouse gases that could clog a person’s lungs in no time.

I suggest that the whole of Ayala Avenue, Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue be rid of public transportation and instead, be replaced with an Electric Unified Public Transportation System.

This transportation system would use vehicles that uses electric power to run the motor. This way, there is no pollution produced. A unified transportation system would also mean designated stops at certain points along Ayala Avenue, Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue and this would have exact time of departure and arrival so that there would be order for commuters. This would lessen the noise and disorganization. Also, this would teach commuters about proper time management and order when commuting.

The system would not only help the environment but it would also lessen the vehicles that go through the 3 main roads in a given day. Jeeps and buses would no longer be allowed to enter Ayala Avenue and this way, the whole street would be more spacious and there would be less traffic. 4
