Best Posts in Thread: Share a ride to minimize traffic, Sagarbarria says

The city already sees trikes riding 10 deep and people sitting on top of jeepneys. How much more "sharing" can be done?

 

I don't think they are slowing down the traffic, they are going around it......I'll admit I'm one of those crazy motorbike drivers (when in Rome, eh?). What I usually see as the cause of the slow traffic, because I rarely wait at the end of the line, are trikes stopping in the middle of the road, big trucks/buses trying to navigate through town, and people who don't have the nerve/experience to be driving in Asia (almost always Asian women who have no concept of how long/wide their vehicles are). Many times when it comes to a standstill it's a person waiting for an invitation to make a left turn....drives me absolutely nuts.

 

Just flash your lights, honk your horn and nudge your way out there. No need to stop, we will avoid you or stop. The law of gross tonnage applies.
