人口と訪問客の増加によって渋滞問題が深刻化しているダバオ市。このような問題に対処しようと、市政府はその解決案や提案の受け入れを行ってきている。
そして8月28日、マニラに拠点を置く鉄道会社Philtram Transportation Consortium、Inc.より、都市の交通渋滞の解決に繋がる高速路面電車システムの設立が提案された。「Davao Rapid Tram」（DRT）は一度に300名もの乗客を収容することができ、その輸送力に期待がかかる。
DRTはスマートテクノロジーで誘導されるほか、周辺の車両との衝突を避けるセンサーも内臓している。さらにDRTは障害者や妊婦、高齢者、ならびに子供たちにフレンドリーな設計となっているとのことだ。
気になる運賃についてだが、提案価格は10ペソ、ループの場合は15ペソになるそうだ。同提案が市政府により承認された場合、ダバオ市は国内初の路面電車システムを持つ都市になる。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
