Here in Dubai, Dubai METRO came into this project of having a vacant lot for the vehicle owners. they can leave their vehicles (FREE if parked not exceeding 24 hrs, beyond it, they have to pay the price) before riding the train. That is to reduce the vehicles on the road and to promote the METRO TRAIN. Both beneficial to either parties. Vehicle owners can save up gas and toll fees! Accident will be lessen. So if the Phil. Govmnt is really into this "bike campaign", they should have done it a bit better. Afterall, this is for common good. i love the idea of putting bike shops at the station. where they can leave their bikes in exchange of a very affordable amount. so they can just come back to get it after office/work.

Government must launch public service programs to encourage Pinoys in using bicycles in Metro manila to ease down traffic congestion and pollution. A bike lane must be provided in major streets of Metro Manila which was already started in the City of Marikina. A lesser duties and taxes on imported bicycles could also be imposed to encourage Filipinos to purchase better bicycle units such as foldables for a cheaper price. And MRTs/LRTs should allow more bikes on trains with lesser fare charges on their bicycles. I agree with your opinion, the Phil.
