A bus nearly sideswiped me just in front of Glorietta

[bender]

I was going to Glorietta around 845pm this Sunday when a bus suddenly cut in to my lane and nearly sideswiped me. I was able to swerve a bit to avoid them. When I confronted the driver when they stopped to drop off passengers, the driver claimed that the other bus was the reason he cut in front of me. Apparently, they were trying to race each other to the bus stop.

Just lucky that I didn't get into an accident over something so insignificant. To think that they were doing that when there was no traffic.

that bus driver is a fool. ive fought with more bus drivers than jeepney drivers.

A bus actually hit the side of my vehicle two weeks ago. Nag uunahan yan sila para sa pasahero kahit puno na. Quota system kasi. Sigaw nga ng mga pasahero niya e "swapang kasi". The case has been filed in the small claims court even if the damage is minor (parang 3K cost ng repair). Mas malaki loss niya sa istorbo at pinababa ko lahat pasahero niya. But thats not the point. Matuto sila mag drive ng tama.

Iyan ang masama sa mga drivers ng bus... Nandadamay pa ang mga drivers na keeping to their lane... Dapat talaga sa mga iyan,- ma-sampolan at mabigyan ng leksyon....

How's the "small claims court", bro? Efficient ba?

Sorry to hear that sir. Ewan ko lang but these bus drivers are worst than their counterparts like jeep drivers etc. Dahil alam nila na mas malaki sila kaya yun cut ng cut. I have my share with buses and dump trucks too. Anyway, the good thing is your okey.

Parang yung naencounter ko lang sa may Ayala ave. Nakasidesweep siya ng mga nagbabike, not the typical na biker pero yung parang mukhang bigtime na biker. Muntik ko pa siya nasagasaan kasi natumba siya, todo preno talaga ako. Ang ginawa nung mga bikers sinundan nila till may nagstop na traffic light, then BOOM!

pinasabog yung bus sir? care to share more? hehe

On topic:
that's why im move vigilant against buses compared to big trucks.. mga trucks kasi hindi naman basta basta lilipat ng lane..

*sir old, can you share your exp on the small claims court?

what do you mean BOOM?

maybe this is the solution to the edsa problem. just shoot 'em like animals and don't bother if justice gets served or not. we peace-loving drivers just turn the blind eye whenever we hear stories about bus drives getting shot or killed.

trained ang bus drivers even to kill pedestrians, if they have to so, cutting other vehicles are just part of their everyday meals.. hehe

welcome to the philippines!

*TS - buti nalang walang nangyari sa iyo. anyway, I know your sentiments dahil ako mismo hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na ako muntikan ma-sideswipe.

kaya nga sa EDSA, talagang kung maaaring mag-stay pa ako sa left lane, doon lang muna ako. at kung may bus sa tabi ko, sige na, pinapauna ko na sila kasi nga hindi ka rin makakaporma eh.

pero dati nung sasakay ako sa bus, muntikan pa akong masagasaan nitong isang bus (Manrose Liner yung violet). Talagang dumikit doon sa sasakyan kong bus at ito pa.. nasa harap na ako nitong manrose liner, umaabante pa ang hinayupak. naaalala ko tuloy yung naramdaman ko noon. para akong nagtutulak nang pader na iipitin ako. nabura ko na sa CP# ko yung plate no. lahat iyan para lang sa makipag-unahan sa pasahero.

sa sobrang galit ko nung aakyatin ko na yung bus, karipas nang takbo ang loko.
