Manila - Duterte's administration is seriously considering cable cars to install in Metro Manila to ease traffic jams, his incoming transportation secretary said in a report.
Initial talks are ongoing with a company that supplies 35-seater cable cars for commuters in South America and once approved, the new mode of transportation for Manila's 12 million people will be operational in 18 months, incoming minister Arthur Tugade said.
"Pag nagdagdag tayo ng kalsada at nag-construct tayo, lalong makaka-traffic. Kung gusto mo ng additional capacity, pumunta ka sa itaas," Tugade told ANC's Headstart."
Duterte, who will assume office on Thursday, will ask Congress for "special powers" to solve traffic congestion that has reached "crisis" proportions.
This includes opening subdivision roads to traffic and doing away public bidding for some infra projects. The Philippines is estimated losing P2.4 billion a day due to traffic congestion, according to study.
