Road travel: The outlook for 2016

THIS INFOGRAPHIC details various transport projections contained in a presentation by Dr. Leonardo A. Lanzona, which was delivered on Friday at the Eagle Watch briefing.

The aggressive targets for traffic speed in particular seem built on the promise of more roads by 2016, or more mass transit options to get drivers off the roads. The real eye-opener is that in two years, the targeted road travel speed is a full 10 kilometers per hour faster than it was in 2011. It’s a claim motorists will understandably view with skepticism.

Perhaps the best way to look at this chart then is as an indicator of the mounting pressure on government to deliver transport solutions that will keep the capital city from choking on its own congestion. Seen in this context, every single delay in the awarding of highway and rail contracts makes the problem just a little more urgent.
