EDSA (road)EDSA – Since this was moved to EDSA (road) from the EDSA meaning. I decided to move this again to just "EDSA" as a primary topic. Because the disambiguation page contents are something in common with the name of road itself. --Relisted. walk victor falk talk 06:22, 20 May 2014 (UTC)j3j3j3...pfH0wHz 07:22, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Coreyemotela Even if majority of the article at the disambiguation page are related to the name of road itself, "EDSA" must be a disambiguation page?? Reply ASAP. j3j3j3...pfH0wHz 07:20, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My answer is simply yes. The current situation is good. Coreyemotela (talk) 19:40, 21 May 2014 (UTC).[reply]

How many cars per day?

[edit]

This line seems contradictory: EDSA handles an average of 316,345 cars daily,[2] and an average of 2.34 million vehicles go through EDSA every day. Both figures seem sourced, but why the 10x discrepancy? Jpatokal (talk) 00:36, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the other 2 million things with wheels aren't cars? –HTD 04:12, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I believe someone read 2.34 Million from a source like this one which originally referred to individuals or trips, and appended 'vehicles' later on for whatever reason. This is obviously erroneous as the load factor of vehicles, on average, goes well beyond 1.
The official number from 2022 is 385,096 vehicles from MMDA's Annual Average Daily Traffic however MMDA sometimes releases figures to the media like 427,000 in October 2023
If going by the AADT, only a little more than half of the volume are private cars aka 200k. Adding up peak ridership from the MRT (600,000) and EDSA Busway (454,000), along with a rough load factor of 3.0 for the 427,000 vehicle count, you end up with around 2.34M.
tl;dr 2.34M vehicles per day is wrong, 385,096 vehicles per day is correct. Imongmamamagayon (talk) 15:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 April 2021

– Much of the subtopics under EDSA disambiguation page are related to or connected with EDSA, meaning it has gained the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Also, the page readership stats: EDSA (road) = 3,853 readers as compared to EDSA (company) = mere 221 readers. So there is no need to disambiguate if it is the real primary topic. The disambiguation page will go to EDSA (disambiguation). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 04:57, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: EDSA titles a page with significant content and so it is ineligible as a target, new title unless it is also proposed to be renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 06:25, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ortizesp: Can you give an example? —hueman1 (talk contributions) 01:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, pageview stats here: [[1]]. The People Power Revolution (AKA EDSA I, or EDSA Revolution) gets the most page views by far. The street gets similar page views to the other 2 revolutions and the shrine.@HueMan1:--Ortizesp (talk) 01:14, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ortizesp: I know but that's not what we're talking about here. You don't call these topics "EDSA" alone nor do you call these with a disambiguation for the road like "EDSA (road) Revolution" and "EDSA (road) Shrine". The proposal here is to determine which is the primary topic for "EDSA", the company or the road. —hueman1 (talk contributions) 02:18, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The revolutions are sometimes called EDSA I, II, and III, and they are all listed on the DAB, I think that's close enough. I think it's more useful to keep it as is although I understand where you guys are coming from.--Ortizesp (talk) 03:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ortizesp: the revolutions are related and tied to the road itself. For example, EDSA 1 is the focal point of the revolution that toppled the Marcos regime. Before that revolution it was more or less known as "Epifanio De Los Santos Avenue" or to the older folks, "Highway 54". But since the revolution people and nearly all media agencies here call the thoroughfare "EDSA", and EDSA is the first word that almost all Filipinos refer to the road. This is undoubtly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the name EDSA. Unless this highway will be renamed (which is unlikely as of today). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:44, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
