EDSA Traffic

I was about to go SM North EDSA to pick up my netbook. When I called Villman, they advised me thattheny were open untill 11pm.

Coming from Caloocan City, it should only take about 15 minutes tops to get to North EDSA via cab. I left my house at 10:15, giving me enough time to grab a Starbucks.

It came to my surprise that there were a pile of buses in the main road while I was hailing a cab. There was something going on.

In the cab, I was just playing with my Android and kept looking on the familiar streets. We were moving really slow. the cab meter was though, was not at all slow.

I came to find that the cause of the terrible traffic was from the Balintawak Market. They placed a rope along the highway that gave only two lanes for the vehicles to pass by. They were accommodating the trucks and vehicles that supply the market with goods. I just can't understand the logic behind it all.

It took an hour before I got to SM North. Then, to add insult to injury, Villman is already closed.

MMDA, please, fix this.
