Metro Manila traffic to reach ‘standstill levels’ in 5 years
The Duterte administration’s infrastructure program may not be enough to deal with the country’s transportation woes as road congestion in Metro Manila may reach “standstill levels” by 2022, according to a study by an American consulting group.
In “Unlocking Cities,” the Boston Consulting Group, which transport network company Uber commissioned, said government plans to increase the capacity of rail-based public transport services “will not be sufficient to meet growth in transport demand” over the next five years.
(snipped)
It pointed out that mega cities like Manila, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi and Surabaya — considered “Tier 3” cities — were “at risk of reaching standstill levels of congestion during peak hours by 2022” because of the rate of vehicle growth.
This meant that by then cars would run at less than 10 kilometers per hour (kph).
(snipped)
The study, conducted from September to October and covering around 300 commuters per city, warned that congestion may become unmanageable in cities such as Manila because “80 percent of commuters surveyed indicate plans to purchase a car in the next five years.”
It noted, however, that these commuters expressed willingness to forgo buying cars if ride-sharing could meet their transport requirements on price, timeliness and availability.
“Across the cities studied, we estimate [around] 40 to 70 percent of private vehicles on the road today could be removed, if ride-share becomes a viable substitute for private vehicle ownership,” the study said.

^^ Buying new cars isn't the issue. Its keeping old cars even though they are way past their useful life is the issue. Even in my own village where I have neighbours that have all the money in the world, there are many of them that still keep their old cars. A certain "get out of jail card" neighbour even has an "Ancient Pajero" (similar to the one below) that still litters the street (and still being used) even though he has lots of newer cars.

What more those with less money who need to hold on to their "big body Corolla" or "box type Lancers" or worse, 40+ year old jeepneys?
I think people should really treat cars as tools that have a useful life and be prepared to dispose of them after 15 years in service. The mentality of keeping them forever has got to go so cars plying our roads will be technologically current, safe and environmentally friendly.

what do people do with old cars in other countries? are there programs that gives incentive to discourage not-fit for road use cars?
This is it ladies and gentlemen! If you haven't ordered your brand new car, DO IT NOW!!! Do not wait! Do not procrastinate! If you have no money, get a loan from the bank, parents, relatives, pawnshop, loan shark, etc. The crippling excise taxes are coming!!!!
Senate, Congress OK higher 4-tier automotive excise tax, exempts electric cars

Interestingly enough, Rappler is saying "All pickup trucks" are exempt...
....but its Rappler so take it with a grain of salt until some other mainstream media or automotive news site mentions it. Its still wise to order your pickup truck now just to be safe...
