BUS accident again

[vinj]

If he had real presence of mind he would not have been speeding in the first place.

If i were one of the cars lined up next to where the bus hit, baka atakehin pa ako sa gulat.

ang sweswerte nun mga nakapilang sasakyan....second time na nagyari ito diyan sa skyway eh...few years back meron din ganyan na bus rammed into cars sa toll booths

[gearspeed]

Naalala ko tuloy nung college ako yung bus na sinakyan ko sa laspinas nasa costal road na kami malapit na sa costal mall nagtataka ako bakit hindi pa siya nagpapreno samantalang pabagal na yung mga kotse sa tabi namin pagtingin ko sa gilid ko sa right side bumaga na kami sa mga guard rail.
Sabi nung driver "nawalan ng preno"
Sumagot isang lola "baka nakatulog ka lang kaya tayo naaksidente."

Hindi na sumagot yung driver nun.
mga 1pm yun nangyari at mataas sikat ng araw nun.Lumipat na lang tuloy ako ng bus nun.
Ito lang yung naging aksidente na nasakyan ko na bus. Yung iba sira lang yung aircon or pinalipat ako dahil kaunti sakay niya papuntang taft ave.Yung isa tinow kasi colorum ata.

Was very traffic on EDSA this morning and this turned out to be the culprit.

Correction: the Elena Bus crahed into the rear of a MGP Bus, which then ran over several commuters, who were standing in the middle of the road. The Elena Bus driver was injured with a broken jaw.

MANILA (UPDATE) – At least 5 people died after a bus hit a loading bay along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Magallanes, Makati City on Thursday morning.

Makati City Police chief Col. Manuel Lucban Jr. said an Elena Liner Bus (TXN 191) rear-ended an MGP Trans bus (NXV 360) and hit several people at the loading bay of EDSA-Magallanes southbound lane.

Four men and a woman who were waiting for a ride died in the crash, a doctor from the Ospital ng Makati who rushed to the scene confirmed.

Lucban said the Elena Liner bus driver was one of those severely injured in the mishap.

At least 33 were injured in the crash, including bus passengers who sustained bone fractures, according to Makati City Police.

The accident snarled traffic in the area. The bodies of the victims were still in the area and one of the buses has yet to be removed from the road.

As of posting time, only two lanes of the busy thoroughfare were passable. – reports from Dennis Datu and Dexter Ganibe, dzMM

Ung mga bus stop natin dapat i upgrade at lagyan ng mga crash barriers, malamang mabilis pa di ung bus kahit palapit na sha sa bus stop un tipong nakikipag unahan makarating, sa mga pasahero since nag aantay ng bus wala talaga sila chance para makaiwas. Hope MMDA make this improvement sa mga bus stop.

walang problema yung mga bus stops natin.. ang problema yung implementation ng batas tsaka yung mga ungas na bus driver.. ano nga naman aasahan mo sa mga utak nyan..

nakapagtataka ka na madami sa atin ang pro life kuno na ayaw sa abortion etc.. pero wala naman pagpapahalaga sa buhay mga pinoy.. wala nga tayo regulation sa auto bus assembly eh to ensure safety of the public

^ Actually the biggest problem really is the bus driver.

RIP to the victims...

Another unfortunate event na nakakadagdag lang ng HB sa mga drivers and operators nyan

The other thing to ask is why were the commuters on the road and not on the curb where they should be when queuing up for public transport. Oh wait... nobody here queues up and it's a free-for-all with people pushing each other to get on the bus. And buses race against each other with breakneck speed to get passengers so yes, this is a formula for disaster with the public transport commuters paying with their lives. May they rest in peace.

So many times I have to drive carefully, forcing my way through people waiting for the the bus standing in the middle of the street. The more they block the roads, the longer the traffic they cause!!!

Yeah was stuck in that traffic jam. Thought it would clear up after Buendia, just got worse. And when I checked the MMDA app, it only said that there were 2 buses that were involved in an accident. Got shocked to hear on the radio that there were 6 fatalities and multiple injured. RIP to them.

I agree, there's not much you can do with the bus stops we have, especially with the limited road space. You'd think those b*stards driving the buses would slow down because of the smaller roads and tighter surroundings, but no, they just speed as if they're the only ones on the road and f-cking block the roadway! One a-hole is enough to slow traffic down because he takes up 1.5 lanes. Put 2 neanderthals together, and it's virtually a standstill.

For these PUVs, can't help but ask a Duterte-ish solution.

Add to that, the bad habit of passengers to waiting in the middle of the roads for buses to arrive.

Hindi ata na include sa report ng mmda na meron silang mga bantay dun sa area na walang silbi kundi manghuli lang ng coding, pero ung disiplinahin ung pagpasok ng mga bus sa bus stop e hindi nika ginagawa.

I figured it was bad and was lucky enough to turn off at Buendia.

Add to that, the bad habit of passengers to waiting in the middle of the roads for buses to arrive.

it doesn't help either that there's barely any sidewalk left at a various parts of EDSA and during rush hours, the volume of commuters are really large. It's a norm to see them take up one whole lane of EDSA from Buendia to Ayala in the evening while the buses block the other lanes.

Wala talagang silbi ang MMDA personnel most of the time. Nakatayo lang sa kalye, parang human pylon.

Just my opinion: Why aren't the Bus services here in the Philippines controlled by the governtment like Dubai? The buses these private companies use are Coaches aren't even supposed to be used as a city Bus the proper buses for the city are like the ones in London. Its lower, safer, fuel efficient, quiet, comfortable and it can carry more passengers. They should also have proper Bus stops that aren't in the middle of the road, it should be like a little cut from the sidewalk infront of the Bus shed. Dubai and Singapore is a perfect example for having good Bus routes and stops.
