TODAY'S EDITORIAL: Padilla's cable cars might have promise
THE suggestion of Sen. Robinhood Ferdinand 'Robin' Padilla to add cable cars to the transportation mix was initially met with chuckles, admittedly even from some people in this newspaper. Memes about his comments circulated in social media, including one with cable cars dangling from electrical wires and another with passengers clinging from the outside like Filipinos do on jeepneys.
His point about 'ropeway' was framed as a complement to railway and perhaps other conventional systems.With that, the senator made a valid point. Traffic congestion should be resolved by developing several transportation modes. In previous editorials, for example, this paper suggested revisiting river ferries that connect with bus and railway terminals around Metro Manila.
