Buendia cor Makati Avenue intersection = Jeepney Terminal

[IMm29]

The jeepneys are at it again. It's as if their driving antics aren't bad enough - swerving all over the place, turning on red, stopping in the middle of the street for a passenger, and so on and so forth - they have to make the intersection of Makati Avenue and Buendia their terminal. These clowns are not just parked, but double-parked along Buendia on the side of the Pacific Star building and the DBP building. It's no wonder why even if you traverse Buendia headed for Edsa at 9 or 10 pm, you'll still get stuck at that intersection. Three lanes of traffic going straight have to cram themselves into 2 or sometimes 1 lane to be able to move onward.

Of course, there are no cops in sight. It's 9 pm. But even if there were, they'd just be waving at these abusive drivers. After all, they might be related, friends or magkumpare.

Paging Rambotito or anyone close to him. Perhaps you'd like to revisit how Makati is when the sun goes down and when your traffic cops go home.

P.S. There are still cops on the road at this time. You can find them manning a checkpoint at the RCBC Plaza at the corner of Buendia and Ayala. But they're PNP, not MAPSA. With all these supposed "authorities" running around, can't someone coordinate and do something right for a change?

yung sa opposite lane din,ganun ang ginagawa ng mga jeep. ung lane na suppose to be ay for the right-turners going to the buendia fly-over/edsa,ginagawa ring terminal ng guadalupe bound jeepneys....it was still around 4pm....bumusina ako ng tuluy-tuloy until the driver moved a little forward para makadaan ako...then before I turned right, nakita ko may MAPSA na nasa center island, so I opened my window to tell him his stupidity for not reprimanding those jeeps..aba.....tumalikod bigla and even had the gut to get his cellphone at mag-text...gusto ko sanang babain at batukan but I was able to control myself....nakakapagpakulo ng dugo talaga

[danesjr]

magkakamaganak ata yang mga driver dyan at MAPSA. leche talaga yang intersection na yan hindi maayos-ayos dahil sa terminal ng jeep na hindi maalis-alis. amputs! kahit umaga nagkakanda-leche trapik dyan eh kahit me MAPSA na nagmamando ng trapik. kelan kaya maaayos yan

[oldblue]

ganyan talaga kapag "maka-masa" ang namumuno.

that's the wrong interpretation of "maka-masa". it's just the same as their assertion when they get apprehended na "mahirap lang kami", thus they're above the law.

ito lang masasabi ko sa mga driver ng jeep..

kawawa nga yong naaabala..ako tuwing pupunta ng pacific star building nag cocommute nalang ako..less expense, less stressful, less etc..paglabas ko ng lobby, hopped into a jeepney about to cross the intersection, get off at buendia lrt stn, go up get a ticket for edsa central station, relax over a mugful of draft beer served with free mixed nuts in a platter, get down, checked my watch, enough time before the 3hour parking fee of ten petot expires, browsed at internet cafe..then off i go home..

dealing with a guy like that tadpole and a bunch of his cohorts & incompetents running makati city takes a whole lot more of simplistic ideas as one can imagine..

if all else fails, paimbestigador nyo na..di ko kayo tatantanan..!

Iwas na talaga ako dyan. I head to EDSA via Ayala ext, Kalayaan thru PowerPlant Mall, then JP Rizal, labas sa ilalim ng Guadalupe bridge na.

Well, I do the same if I have to go north. It's just a hassle if you have to go to Fort from RCBC Plaza at around 9 to 10 pm.

IMm29,
Ginagawa ko: From Buendia coming from Ayala, turn left sa N. Garcia then right sa Jupiter. Tapos right sa Paseo then left sa Buendia. Iwas ka sa Buendia/Makati Ave intersection.

Thanks! Yep, I do the same re-routing as well. Nakakainis lang kung bakit nagkaka-traffic dun. Wala namang dahilan, bukod sa mga langyang yan.

Well.

Kung wala naman pulis,

or authorities...

...and clearly wala nang batas after 9pm...

...maybe we can get away with shooting these PATAY-GUTOMS in the head...

...and ease the flow of traffic for other respectable motorists...

one more problem here in makati because of PUV driver lack of discipline is the corner of rcbc ayala and buendia at around 7-8 am.

napoocha....ang bagal na nga ng security checkpoint going inside rcbc plaza, nag-aallow pa ang mapsa na mag unload dun mismo sa corner, after the traffic lights. they should have at least unload passengers at shell maya.

pag papasok ako ng ganitong oras coming from roxas blvd, hindi na ako nakikigulo dito eh. instead, i just go around rcbc plaza turning right to geronimo to delacosta and back to ayala. nakakatagal pa lalo eh.

they should have at least put in one serious traffic enforcer there to prohibit unloading in that area.

yung mga sinasabing enforcer ni IMM na naka standby sa kanto across rcbc plaza, nakikita ko din yun even late at night. hindi ko lang alam kung ano mission order nila dun. mostly ata hinuhuli nung mga yun is yung mga beating the read light from ayala going to kamagong.

[IMm29]

After 8pm, Buendia should be tolerable na he he...

Unfortunately, there are more days that still aren't tolerable after 8 pm. Argh!

Masama mang balakin yan, parang minsan kelangan mangyari para lang matauhan yung mga abusadong driver. Kung ayaw pa rin nilang madala pagkatapos nun, ewan ko na.

The RCBC corner at Ayala and Buendia is another problem. I'm there every working day of the week. It's as if the "security check" isn't bad or slow enough (wherein they just want to open your trunk to see whatever's in it. They opened the trunk of an AE111 in front of me that had a golf bag and a few other bags in it and then immediately closed the trunk. The guard didn't even bother to check any of the bags. So much for security huh? ), MAPSA allows loading and unloading at that corner, which effectively impedes the flow of traffic down Buendia.

Sabagay, pano mo nga naman masisita at matatanggihan ang kumpare mo, no, MAPSA?

hehehehe. agree with you.... pero ako pag pumapasok, pati yung organizer ko sa trunk kinakalikot eh.... pero i think i saw that AE111 that you are talking about....

*bravoexo: i doubt it.... there was a time i went home at around 9pm. from rcbc plaza buendia going to taft is really a hell. mga four times ko nang na-eencounter ito.
