Transportation in Metro Manila is probably one of the worst in the region. Despite the availability of Metro Rail Transit and Light Railway Transit, the jeepneys, buses, taxicabs, tricycles and even pedicabs have congested the thoroughfares in the city. The taxicabs are the most convenient form of transportation however, it is associated with a high price. To minimize cost to riders, I suggest that taxicabs should operate only within a city and color coded according to the city it will be serving. Like for example, if the taxicab is assigned to Makati City, it can assume the color blue and will only pick up passengers travelling within Makati City. Then, the flag down rate will be lesser since the taxicab will just travel within a short distance. Same thing can be done in Quezon City which can assume the color yellow and likewise accepts only passengers travelling within that area. For passengers who will travel between cities, another group of taxicabs will cater to this group and can assume the color white. This scheme will also lighten the traffic since lesser number of cabs need to traverse the main thoroughfares of the city. 4
