They should consider doing this for all massive events.
“The expected traffic congestion starting Saturday (July 26) up to Monday (July 28) must be so massive that the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) had to develop a mobile app just to help motorists avoid the gridlocks to be caused by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) centennial celebration on Sunday, July 27,” reports Maricar B. Brizuela in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The report indicated that “the Android application will provide updates on the traffic situation on roads leading or adjacent to the INC gathering at the newly inaugurated Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan province.”
The app, which was unveiled on Wednesday, July 23, is called “INC Sentenaryo.” It will monitor surrounding roads in Bocaue, Sta. Maria, Plaridel, and Calumpit in Bulacan, as well as major thoroughfares in Metro Manila like Edsa, Commonwealth, Quezon Avenue, España, C5, Ortigas, Marcos Highway, Roxas Boulevard, South Luzon Expressway, and the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx).
The report added that the app “would also help the attendees find the nearest police stations, hospitals, and fire stations in the Bocaue area, as well as in Quezon City, Valenzuela, Navotas, and Pasig.
The app, of course, also lists emergency numbers.
