MERGED: Cebu BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)

[cliff_drew]

---

Can anyone whose familiar with BRT answer how theyre going to implement it along Escario St. and Gov. M Cuenco ave. (banilad road).

Currently 4 lanes ra man gud ning mga roads with commercial establishments on both sides. having this brt would take out 2 lanes.

I believe this is it sir http://www.dotc.gov.ph/images/storie...nexes/8/19.pdf

Let's limit the talk sa Cebu. You can't compare Manila here. When I said na soon mawala ang jeepneys, I clearly stated na its only within BRT routes. To quote "Although dili na mawala totally ang jeepneys kay they will serve as feeders sa BRT. Pero kanang mga jeepneys with the same routes sa BRT kay hinay-hinayon nag wala. Sooner, private cars/vehicles and taxis nalay mahabilin." Reportedly there are 3,000 jeepneys na ma displace according to a study by the University of the Philippines National Center for Transportation Studies. This is expected. However, as part of the plan, solutions will be in place to address this problem.

I think if we need to base our progress here in Cebu and serve Manila as our footprint in basing this progress. After all, how many times have we already compared ourselves with our fellow Metro Manilanons, If we need to be at par or at least be with their level, we also need to think PROGRESS in the long RUN.

If you like Overpass railways, fine. Each of us has our own choice man sad. Dili lang ko ka imagine unsay nawong ug asa na ibutang ug uyon ba mga Cebuanos ana. Kung flood prone lang ang reason para dili ma consider ang subway as a long term solution then I don't agree. Possible na sya, like you said, IF THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY.

Nevertheless, A very likely candidate is the OVERWAY rather than a SUBWAY... I'll tell you what.. if your really a proponent of this BRT Scheme, Why not post a POLL here in Istorya to say whose who is in FAVOR or AGAINST BRT... Whose for LRT and whose for BRT.... And I would go with your way that any plans of making this a reality would always be DERAILED with those INEPT and SELFISH IDEALS of POLITICOS who are just after their own WELFARES.


Let's have a POLL here nalng brad... Let the people/Istoryans SPEAK and VOTE for themselves whose for LRT and whose for BRT.

cebu badly needs an effective mass transport system right now, lrt should be the right one for cebu but what can we do with this manila centric type of government, they are expanding their mrt/lrt here and there and nothing for cebu but anyway Im really thankful that this brt is being push through and its better than nothing.

I disagree. How can we make Metro Manila as our baseline when LRT is not feasible to us? They have bigger population than ours thus they need to have LRT and other mass transportations. And to think LRT is subsidized with approximate 2 billion per year loss from the government. From that case, how many projects could be materialized in exchange for that project?

For Cebu, we will become the first one to use BRT here in the Philippines and as planned, Metro Manila and Davao will follow suit.

There's already an existing poll. See at the top of this thread. Though poll is not an effective consensus since this is a BRT thread and most voters do not actually weigh things prior voting.

You really dont see my point do you?

Cebu's population is fast becoming like Metro Manila already and hence
in the long run we still soon become like them. Would it be good planning it now rather than the future? Your what can do now thinking isnt going to bring Cebu's progress far out to the future. Thats what is the mindset of some people nga gusto mka barat. Minintinir lng sa baratohon sakripisyog quality basta mkaminus lng sa gasto. Walay paghuna sa ngadto2.

Being closeminded in really advocating BRT as the main idea and shutting off other good viable ideas is just plainly a selfish thought.

Don't think bai nga wala ko kakuha sa imong point. Kung modako ang population sa Cebu, sure ka wala na giapil sa feasibility study? Do you think ang current ra ang ilang gi mind? And how much increase would that be?

We talked long-term solution here. We also agreed that BRT is a short-term one. And I don't see that I'm selfish here. Yes, I'm advocating BRT over LRT because we really need it asap and the latter is not feasible per facts. I wonder why you also shutting off a short-term solution where it is going to happen soon and will help lessen traffic problems here in Cebu. For the sake of the discussion, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

oi kataas naman d i neng Thread , nagkagubot man mo oi ? sama mo kagubot kada buntag sakay from CARCAR to BASAK wahahahah.....

Well for me mga Cebuanos kay dugay dugay jud ko sa Manila , kung madayon man gani ang LRT siguro dapat mag start na sya from Lawaan diha na sya mag subay sa SRP going to downtown Cebu then going Mandaue City , para ang mga Fefol ngari Cebu matunga, then 30 mins Interval ang traffic sa 4 Trains in one way mao lang ning ako-a for sure masulbad ang Traffic sa atong Sugbu,kay intawn gamay raman sad tawn neng sugbu compare sa Manila oi para isuroy suroy sa kada skina diri , then usa pa daghan maigo nga yuta ,in another hand mga HardHeaded ra ba jud ning atong kaliwat,... okey okey , peace all akong paaboton ang FEEDBACK ,,hehehe

Frankly, the only way is road widening because dili gyud ni pwede nga ma 2 lane (1 way on each side) nalang ning Escario until Gov. M. Cuenco/ banilad road

hah! the funny thing is...when the road is that wide, that would be a free parking to those people who buys cars without having a parking lot...not to mention the "negosyante" ug car wash/scrap metal...ug uban pa...

naa pay Towing Zone nga way tow-tow...or kung naa galing, gana-gana...
