These contraptions are a bunch of hazards. The drievrs of these dont follow any sort of law and order. Pag nasagi sila pa unang maglalabas ng tubo.

I mean, can we not put some orders in our roads. I admit, and base on the numerous studies that I have read, we can rid of jeepneys and tricycles from the Philippine transport system. Thats why, we are here in the design thread to at least suggest and perhaps build better versions of them.

These tricycle for instance, I believe given proper funding and some arm twisiting from the government, TODAs can be compelled to follow certain standard sf for future members. Force them to only admit new tricycle operators using new configurations (like the Chinese tricars).

Padyaks, kuligligs and those motorized padyaks should not service main roads.

With this we can build a more efficient and respectable auto industry at the very least tricycle fabricators. Blaze and MCX, these local companies should at least collaborate with tricycle cab manufacturers to build modern, efficient, safe, high quality AND AFFORDABLE tricycles.

Firstly, the kuligligs, tricycles and pedicabs are not allowed by law to enter main thoroughfares.

Secondly, perhaps this is why we are here.

It is so easy to put an extension to the belt for an alternator, perhaps even a small dynamo used for bike lights may do efficiently when attached to the drive belt of the kuligiglig and connected perhaps to a regulator for charging rechargeable batteries. Siguro even a bunch of the d cell type may do enough for lights and sound system.

We really have to come up with an affordable alternative for micro businesses.

Being a bunch of hazards perhaps maybe better than being a bunch of dangerous thugs who have had less opportunity to eke a more morally legal means of earning a living.

The kuligligs in fact has done good service in Divisoria thaqt perhaps one day the trucks clogging up the small side streets of the "bagsakan" there may be serviced by the kuligligs that the trucks can park perhaps in the are near R 10.

If we could come up with our own alternative to the kuligligs, can you imagine the market of practically all subdivisions being serviced by ouor alternative to the kuliglig as passenger and cargo carrier.
