Mass Transit to Ease Oil Price in the Philippines

In a country where traffic has always been a problem, the good thing about the continued increase of oil in the Philippines is perhaps private and public vehicles which used to throng the streets would rather stay at home or walk. Now that resolves one issue but poses another big problem for people who have to get to places such as the office.

Mass transit has been the alternative the Filipinos use and apparently the issue at hand now is on accommodation. For sure with the large population that the has right now, the current mass transit structures are insufficient to handle them all.

So while they are at it, applying an eco-friendly touch certainly seems to be a good way to improve the transport issue as well as the growing concern for green living in one of Asia’s premier spots.

“Mass transit will not only address the problem of high fares it will also result in the decongestion of traffic and clean air because the trains will be running on electric power,” Mamondong stressed.
