Traffic in the Greater Manila Area (GMA) is probably one of the worst in Asia if not in the world. According to Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the average speed of vehicles traversing the most used road like Efipanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) is pegged at 20-30 km/hr during rush hour. Several schemes have been implemented to address this problem however, most of them never worked. The increasing volume of vehicles has also added to the big burden of traffic.

In some parts of the world where land area is small and roads are narrow, they have created fly-overs or underground passages to minimize the traffic as has been done also in Metro Manila. Others, like Singapore has commissioned that only one vehicle is allowed per household hence their mass transport has been an excellent alternative if you want to go places. However, this strategy is difficult to implement here because a lot of Filipinos want more than one car in their belonging. The widening of roads has been done to ease up traffic in some areas but bottle-necked roads leading to these widened roads just complicated the recurring problem. My proposed alternative to this perennial problem is the creation of an airconditioned motorcycle. Since we live in a tropical country, going to the office early in the morning with so much sweat is not appealing. Hence, the aircon motorcycle can ease up traffic without the inconvenience of walking, sweating and getting late as well as the hassles that we encounter having the 4-wheeled cars. 3
