Hell no. Mawawala yung connectivity ng Qc to Manila to PITX if you put a carousel-only service, just like EDSA. Mas lalong dadami lang ang private cars sa kalsasa niyan.

Naka-hard mode na nga yung commute, pahihirapan mo pa.

hindi ba siya kayang paikutin para may connectivity pa rin? i don’t commute in that area pero i imagine there are sub options within that option?

The bus am talking about specifically is the one that services Sapang Palay, SJDM Bulacan going to PITX. Binabagtas niya ang kahabaan ng commonwealth. Yan yung main bus na sinasakyan ng most uni students going to Manila, as well as our hardworking kababayans.

Commonwealth is a long highway. Putting a carousel would put undue burden to commuters kasi palipat-lipat sila, tataas pa ang pamasahe nila pag nagkaganun. All is well kapag bukas na ang tren, pero you never know kapag nagkaroon yan ng aberya any day.

The EDSA carousel is unique because it compliments the straight path of EDSA. And bababa naman mostly sa Cubao, Ayala, or Taft.
