Lame Lane!




When the MMDA proudly announced a couple of weeks before Christmas that they were going to open up new Mabuhay or Christmas Lanes to decongest traffic during the Yuletide season, I  was quite skeptical. As I am sure many others were too. I just couldn't imagine where these so called alternatives routes would be. Unless the MMDA was suddenly able to gain public access to the exclusive villages surrounding EDSA and other main thorough fares. Something even the iron-handed Bayani Fernando couldn't do during his reign.

And true enough, as it turned out, there were no new roads. The MMDA simply labelled routes which motorists have long been using as alternatives to EDSA.

Sad. Again the MMDA disappoints.
