There’s a nice interview about transport on ANC’s early morning program. The topic is bus rapid transit (BRT) and the interviewee is a colleague of mine at the University of the Philippines. Dr. Cresencio M. Montalbo, Jr. is actually a faculty member of the School of Urban and Regional Planning (SURP) and a Fellow at the National Center for Transportation Studies (NCTS). Here’s the link to the interview:
Will bus rapid transit (BRT) remove bias against public transport?

Caught (up) in traffic 
When EDSA clears of other PUs with the BRT, would it be possible to ‘reclaim’ the outermost lane to create a wider sidewalk and/or bike lane? Except for certain intersections for right-turning vehicles.
Its possible and that should be the goal – overall improvemnt including for pedestrian and cycling facilities.
