ICTSI wants “master plan” to fix Manila congestion

Phillipines-based port operator ICTSI has called on the government to develop a “unified master plan” to decongest Manila’s roads and port.

According to the Manila Times, ICTSI’s vice-president Christian Razon Gonzalez said: “If the government wants to talk to me about this, I’m happy to join any discussion but I have never really seen a unified master plan. Today, there are no new roads, no new railways.”

“For roads, we need more roads. For rails, it is for long distances, and here, we don’t have much of long distances,” he added. “The department of transport I think is considering river and roll-on, roll-off transport but, if you don’t have end-to-end points, you’re going to have problems.
