FORMER Cebu City administrator Nigel Paul Villarete, an urban planner, says mobility and public transportation are important issues to address to solve Cebu City’s traffic woes.
He said only by improving public transportation could Cebu City address its mobility issues. He added that the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit project has been one of the best decisions that the City has made. Jay Alba, acting chairman of the Traffic Management Coordination Board, told SunStar Cebu on Thursday, that the main causes of traffic during peak hours include the bulk of people coming in and out of the city, increased population and economy, motorists and pedestrians’ lack of discipline, road accidents, and minor “fender benders.”
He acknowledged that heavy traffic has a negative impact on everyone and encouraged all motorists to be part of the solution.
