    The city of Manila may become uninhabitable within four years if the current traffic chaos is not resolved, John Forbes, a senior advisor at the American Chamber of Commerce at the Philippines said. He warned that if the roads and other infrastructure are not upgraded immediately, the traffic mess in the metropolis would likely worsen.
    uninhabitable as annual new car growth increases to 500,000 by 2020," Forbes said. "While roads are being improved throughout the country, the National Capital Region urgently needs more limited access roads, especially skyways, and rail."

    Forbes added that the new airport terminal in Clark should be built in the next two years, with a non-stop fast train connecting service similar to that in Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Tokyo to elevate traffic congestion.

    Well making the city "uninhabitable" is one way to fix the traffic problem. If people can't live there then there won't be anyone driving around now will there? :o o:

    They have been trying to do that for as long as I have lived here (almost 20 years) and they are no closer today than they were when I moved here. I don't think this will happen in mine or your lifetimes... Maybe not even in our children's lifetime???
