My sister and I were discussing the proposed modification on the number-coding scheme<\/a>. We basically agreed on the same things – I thought I’d share my thoughts on the matter.<\/p>\n

To be fair, It doesn’t take an advanced math degree to realize that something like the number coding scheme does<\/em> deal with volume of vehicles on the road. The real question is if such a solution also takes into account other<\/em> factors surrounding the traffic situation. The short of it, it doesn’t – and that’s where it fails to be a lasting “solution”.<\/p>\n

The problem, really, is that this can be easily avoided by those who can afford to buy new vehicles to circumvent the “rule” – which will eventually bring the volume back<\/strong> to what it was very quick.<\/em><\/p>\n

I assume people who actually understand what I’m saying can imagine why this assumption is correct, but for the sake of being thorough (and for the sake of blogging about it), let me paint a clearer picture to put some perspective.<\/p>\n

For now, let’s take all PUV and corporations out of the equation – and imagine a city comprised of say 10,000 households – and let’s throw in other “assumptions” while we’re at it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Each household has exactly one person capable of driving.<\/li>\n
  2. Each household has exactly one<\/strong> vehicle at their disposal.<\/li>\n
  3. All available vehicle plates are distributed evenly 1 <\/sup><\/a>In short, 1 thousand each for every digit a plate number ends in, capish?<\/span><\/span>
