Because the owners of these transport companies are members of the LTFRB, in addition to how some politicians are also owners of transport companies. Hence, nothing will happen. It'll be like shooting themselves in the foot.

That's why they're out to get Uber, Grab, etc.

dapat both drivers and bus operators maparusahan - not just the bus na bumangga sa barrier, pati yung ka-karera niya.

Speaking of EDSA, good luck in rationalizing our bus system in the Metro - political will ang kailangan para maayos to.

How can you fix the system if the implementer itself does not want the system fixed. Too much money to be lost.

Traffic czar wants double-decker buses on EDSA...so what's stopping the plan?

Well, he also shared with us another bus-related piece of information. According to Almendras, his wish is to replace existing buses on EDSA with double-decker ones.

"Double-decker buses carry twice the number of passengers while using the same amount of space," he said. "And it's only 60% more expensive than a single-deck bus."

Interesting. Instead of having to buy two brand-new single-deck buses, operators can just get one double-decker bus for an additional amount of just a little over half the price of one single-deck unit. And then they'll only have to employ drivers and conductors for a single series of shifts instead of two. More important, they can then practically cut their fleet in half, significantly lessening the number of buses traversing EDSA. A win-win situation, right? Surely, any bus operator would jump at the chance to acquire double-deckers, wouldn't they?

So why don't we have these double-capacity buses on EDSA now?

Almendras revealed that there's opposition inside the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board. When we asked him to elaborate, the government official politely refused to explain further.

Poking around, we were able to get the answer from another public official, who understandably requested anonymity. He said that "some people" have existing deals with the current bus suppliers, and shifting to double-decker buses would seriously jeopardize these deals.

Just wow. These individuals simply don't have the public interest in mind. We hope somebody in position grows balls big enough to bust these thugs.

Sa baba ng requirements para maging driver ng bus, jeep or taxi etc., eh ganyan talaga kung hindi aggressive eh tanga naman,kaya ingat na lang

Minsan naiisip ko hindi rin talaga "boundary system" ang salarin.

Sadyang balasubas lang din talaga magmaneho ibang mga driver.

Boundary system + cut throat competition = chaotic metro roads

Napanood ko sa 24 oras. Hinahanap na operator ng bus para iharap ang maamong driver.
