Toward public transport solutions

It is time to think out of the box regarding our transport problems, particularly the carrying capacity of EDSA which is way overburdened.

The Department of Science and Technology has come up with a hybrid bus/train that uses rails that can be put up on each side of EDSA for mass conveyance of passengers in an orderly and timely way.   The hybrid/bus or train uses rubber tires, easily available motor batteries and other specs that can readily be achieved here and deliver the purpose for which the vehicle is meant -- transport people quickly, on time and in a comfortable fashion.  With the partnership of the light rail transit traveling above and under the center, the private vehicles can have more space in the middle.  And if the mass transport improves on this artery, the public will be attracted to use public transportation more and relieve some of the private vehicle congestion on EDSA. So, the DOST hybrid train/bus deserves serious study and a common sense look-over.
