[sustran] Re: Reducing number of cars on the road

[roberto evangelio]

debi,

The same scheme is currently being implemented in the Philippines. This is 
the guidelines:

Monday: plate nunber ending in 1 and 2 are banned from 7:00 am        to 
7:00pm
Tuesday:  3 and 4
Wednesday:   5 and 6
Thursday:  7 and 8
Friday: 9 and 0
Saturday: 9:30am to 2:30 pm : plate numbers ending in odd numbers are banned

           2:30pm to 7:30pm: plate numbers ending in even numbers are 
banned.

lately, the Metro Manila government are comtemplating a carless day on 
Sunday. I think a lot of people are againsts it. Maybe because of the 
frequency or even the idea itself.

I'll keep you posted on this.
