Uaaaaa, as someone from Manila it’s nice to see a city with decent sidewalks. Manila could never…

[@LarryfromPH]

This is a good start. PH cities shouldn't be car-centric. I only suggest that work should be at least from sun up to sun down to hadten construction.

[@lakwatsatour]

The mess we are experiencing in our country is due to our car-centric approach. Cars are still considered a luxury and a prized possession for almost everyone, but many are unaware that the uncontrolled sale of cars and the issuance of driver’s licenses are what have caused our heavy traffic.
As for the BRT construction, they even work in the midnight especially when it involves road closures but still a lot of delays but at least it's moving 👍

[@fym216]

at last our sidewalks are nice! thanks to lgu!👍👍👍

[@lakwatsatour]

I believe this is the most feature-rich sidewalk in the country, created by the national government (not private entities). They used real bricks and included tactile paving for visually impaired people. The sidewalk features a planted strip with various vegetation, trees, lamp posts, and street lights. The outermost part of the sidewalk, adjacent to the street, serves as the "active" sidewalk for people who want to jog and run.
In other words, kaya pala ng gobyerno natin! Hindi lang ng mga private companies sa mga business districts nila makakita ng tamang sidewalk. Imagine something like this in the whole stretch of EDSA. 😩

[@derbdep]

the title is wrong. The Cebu BRT isn't the first BRT system in the Philippines. That title goes to the EDSA Carousel. However, Cebu City's BRT will be the most extensive BRT system in the PH to date. Can't wait to see it running! BRT is a much better idea than LRTs which are way too expensive to run. Hopefully, the success of the Cebu BRT can be replicated in all of the most populous or urbanized cities throughout the country soon (Iloilo, Davao, Baguio, Legazpi, Puerto Princesa, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro etc).

Nindut tuod na ang sidewalk unya himoon lang ug parkinganan.😂

[@lakwatsatour]

Dapat nagbutang sila ug metal barriers sa sidewalk para walay sakyanan maka-sulod sa sidewalk ug mo-park sama sa makita sa ubang cities worldwide. Atong ma-buhat nalang ani kay i-report ang nag-park. Maka-highblood makita ang bag-ong sidewalk nga na-lubong ug dili na level kay naay bug-at sakyanan ni park. 🥲

Cebu is where u can see the poverty situation in the philippines

[@inhousedetective8435]

Ganda design, mas ok yata if nag lagay na lang ng flyover or skyway, pag nagtagal madaming mas yayaman na taga Cebu at sigurado mag bilihan ng mga sasakyan mga yan.

[@ninojanjeremygo463]

After the BRT, the adjacent private lane road should pedestrianize like Intramuros, reroute private vehicles (see: Superblocks), or make new road for private cars if no available reroute roads (because of lack of grid design or alternative passby roads; dead end maze; disconnected road from point A to B), just to make it away from people and BRT; put lighting (floor light highlight are also beautiful), architectural and cultural design (see: Pasig Esplanade; Ayala Terraces); redeveloped underutilized building and spaces (see: Not Just Bikes);

[@ratiomal89]

sir unsay gamit nmo na camera?

[@lakwatsatour]

Akong gamit kay Osmo Pocket 3 unya ang drone kay DJI Mini 3 Pro 👍

[@rigor_21]

The Philippines needs a better quality transportation system just like Japan and South Korea. I hope 2050 or earlier

[@NadiaFerari-qq6hy]
