Tokyo Subway


The photo above shows the Tokyo Subway Route Map! A friend of mine who toured Japan just recently gave me this. I was awed with how complex and intricate Japan's railway system is which also makes me realize how behind our railway in the country. I hope I will be able to personally see and observe Japan's transportation system to enrich my knowledge and exposure. Soon. Soon. :)

LRT 2 - Light Rail Transit 2

There are only few train lines in Metro Manila. Since this blog is about transportation in the Philippines, it would be most appropriate if the different trains will be featured.

Here is LRT2 or Light Rail Transit 2 which runs from Manila via Quezon City to Pasig. The capacity of LRT2 trains is huge and has not yet been optimized even during peak travel periods. LRT2 trains' body is the largest among other trains. It has provision for the disabled and disadvantaged group of individuals.

Pink MMDA Signs

MMDA = Pink! or Pink = MMDA!

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) road traffic signs under the supervision of then Chairman Bayani Fernando is a beautiful PINK! It is not that I want the color PINK but it's just that it made the Metro Manila unique. However, this does not mean that I do appreciate it.. heck!?

Now that there is a new man handling the MMDA, I am wondering what would become of the color of traffic signs. Green? Yellow? Blue? Haist!

Anyway, let us take a look at the photos below, a reminder of PINK MMDA or PINK Metro Manila.

These were taken from EDSA corner Quezon Avenue.



This is a single post of signs.



Now, this shows several posts.. wouldn't you get confused with these? Ah, the billboards even add color to the background.

Katipunan Avenue Traffic

Yes, it's traffic.. The photo below shows a regular mid-day traffic in Katipunan Avenue. The presence or convergence of several schools and universities as well as commercial areas along the road corridor is the major reason of severe traffic which is usually experienced by motorists passing that route.
