I have often contemplated leaving Makati and work in Cavite near our home(of which I did job hunt, unfortunately karamihan grads of IT courses ang preferred, heheheee).
And there’s the horrifying traffic scheme in Cavite – daily travelers refer to it as “buhos.” Buhos works like this – Cavite’s traffic enforcers stop the Cavite bound vehicles at Longos (bottleneck area at the flyover sa bungad ng Emilio Aguinaldo Highway) and they let the Manila bound vehicles occupy both sides of the road. The Manila bound vehicles roar onwards like scurrying wildebeests (ngek, exagz!). Bohus for Manila bound or Cavite bound vehiclesmay last up to 5 to 10(?) minutes then the ongoing vehicular flow is stopped then yong isa naman. Kaya kung ang sinasakyan mo (Manila bound) at di nakalampas sa SM Bacoor ng quarter to 7am at pa-Makati ka well bukas ka na lang pumasok. 'Coz the vehicle flow creates a bottleneck traffic at Niog on to Talaba and again by the tollgate or at the MIA road parallel to Uniwide Sales Coastal Mall. Whew!
Fortunately, it seems that Cavite's traffic management partnered with the MMDA in the current road widening project along Emilio Aguinaldo Highway. The last time I looked the spray painted structures and "USLI" posters has reached Dasmariñas, Cavite. Yeeey!
