Close Malls 1x a Week to alleviate traffic?

[alakdan168]

To ease our traffic woos, government officials are desperately seeking short term solutions for the traffic problems. Te likes of closing U-turn slots, banning then lifting truck bans, and the latest, a four day work week for government offices.

Why don't we close shopping malls once or twice a week instead? It is very obvious that shopping malls contribute a lot to our traffic problems.. in the Metro Manila area as well as in provincial high ways where malls are allowed to operate.

This could be done with different variations. Like along EDSA Mandaluyong, Mega Mall closes on Mondays, Galleria on Tuesdays, Shangri La on Wednesdays, or they can all close every Mondays... things like that. Aside from the possible easing of traffic, we also solve our eletricity shortage.

What do you think?

Pasara din natin Ateneo para wala nang traffic sa Katipunan at La Salle para wala nang traffic sa Taft/Vito Cruz.

Hampering development isn't the solution. More efficient traffic management should allow a metropolis to prosper without exponentially degrading the traffic situation.

Ba't ba usong uso mga far-fetched ideas? We've never really tried discipline and proper implementation of road rules as a solution.

agree, every mondays kasi i noticed that this is the heaviest traffic volume of the week. day off na din ng employees nila, kaya lang no work no pay ata mga employees nila kasi temporary basis lang. still, an idea that is worth trying.

come to think of it, sa morning rush hour, sarado pa naman malls, sa hapon lang affected ang traffic.

May punto si TS. While you're at it, why not ban them PUVs (buses ang jeeps) for good measure. Tiba-tiba junkshops niyan.

I second the motion make it on Monday and Friday.

I ban na rin yung mga 3-day sale. Traffic really gets bad pag may 3-day sale. Gawin na lang nilang 2-day sale para SAT-SUN lang ang apektado.
