Jeepney Drivers as Professional drivers...

[pbcnx]

I always wonder how jeepney drivers get their "professional" licenses...

I rode a jeep this afternoon and the driver seems know his way around. Literally. He would swerve into small cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, even swerve with buses. i was on the front side that time when he almost missed the bus by a mere centimeter.

He also never slows down on a full stop, instead, he makes a "pakong preno" shoving some of its passengers on the back because of inertia.

I heard a passenger said that the driver was "good" but really now...

Do they deserve to be tagged as "Professional Drivers" or should they be branded as kaskaserong drivers?

I also wonder how these guys get their licenses. They don't even know basic road courtesy and right of way. Thanks to the red tape at the LTO offices they are given this privilege to drive people even if they are not qualified to and from their desired destinations.

By the term "professional" they use driving for a means of living or their profession, it's not that they are professionals like Schumacher on a race track.

Finally the driving technique of this kinds are dangerous, weaving to and from a lane like missing the bus by a centimeter is nothing to be astounded to. Just think of the property or worst life that it may damage or claim because of his irresponsible way of driving. For me they are moving accidents waiting to happen.

in short they suck as a driver.. pardon my language

LTO should do a undercover entrapment of the LTO employees who accept bribes, same goes to MMDA. like in Lacson days

Tama ka bro, dapat professional license ang sa kanila kasi driving ang profession nila. Wag na tayo magtaka sa LTO if pano sila naiisyuhan nun. Dun nga sa amin may trike driver na duleng, nakakuha ng LTO pro lic. Hayun, panay disgrasya ang kinasasangkutan nya.

Kaya naman ganyan ang ugali sa pagmamaneho ng karamihan sa jeepney driver (isama mo na LAHAT ng city buses at maraming taxi driver) kasi "survival of the fittest" ang patakaran sa kalye. Kung papatay-patay sila e hindi sila kikita (yun ang rason nila). Samahan mo pa ng mga inutil na tagapagpatupad ng butas este batas.

they are professional reckless na parang mauubusan ng kalye

[Ienrant]

professional perwisyos, pero we still need them for public transpo, ahihi

[praetor91313]

Hay naku... hindi lang sila mga bobo, andami pang barumbado.

Minsan pa nagpupuno ng pasahero yung driver ng nasakyan kong jeepney, siksikan na sobra and he still insists there's ample space for 2 more passengers.

May isang babae na nilakasan ang boses, "Mama, masikip na ho. Hindi na kasya!"

Umandar ng konti yung jeepney tapos biglang nag-break. Di nagsipagtalsikan kami papunta sa harap. Sigaw ng driver, " O ayan! Anong hindi na kasya? Ang luwang pa o!"

May mga mama na umiling na lang pero wala naman kaming nagawa.

they are issued professional licenses because they use it to earn a living. its the same as a professional basketball player or a professional boxer where amateurs or non-pros only receive allowances or stipends.

the issues and the problems here are:

- the classification and testing prior to the issuance of these licenses. kung maayos ayos lang ang proseso, minimal problems lang sana.
- law enforcement
- the way they are paid. all of them are commission based or boundery system.
- filipino mentality and discipline.

sama mo na rin ang mga bus drivers, taxi drivers and tricycle drivers.

If I am the chairman of LTFRB or the President of the Republic, my first project is to shelve/Ban all the jeepney's in the Philippines.

Now, these drivers needs to earn for a living right? I will all have them employed in construction site, well deserve job for them!!!!

actuali nakausap ako ng former taxi driver

me quota daw sila pag di nila naabot walang kita kaya todo hataw

pero atleast ngayon di na siya taxi driver.

OT: im so glad na nakasali ako sa forums na to dati me pagkabarumbado ako pag nawawala sa mood atleast ngayon pag nawaawala ako sa mood naiisip ko na ang mga tao haha

[speed unlimited]

Mahirap na sigurong Maituwid and driving attitude ng mga driver ng jeep , bus .Dapat noon pa kung ano ang bawal iyon ang ginagawa nila. Siguro may nasundan na kayong passenger jeep na mag pre preno at magbababa ng sakay sa gitna ng karsada. In fairness siguro hindi naman lahat baka nagagawa lang nila ito dahil survival of the fittest dahil sa dami ng lumalabas na PUV. Kailangan gawin nila lahat kahit bawal para kumita sila.
