    gusto ko lang po humingi ng comments sa naisip kong idea..

    bakit hindi na lang ang lagyan ng color coding eh yung yellow colored vehicles? like yung sa transportation (jeepneys,taxis,buses). kasi sila naman yung sobrang dami at sobrang nakakairita mag-drive at gumagawa ng halos lahat ng traffic dito sa pinas.. ang mga private vehicles naman kasi may mga kailangang puntahan like work diba? sila naman kahit na yun ang work nila eh sobra na kasi ang dami nila eh..

    tama ba o mali??

    please comment..thanks

    Mali. A car and a jeep occupy roughly the same amount of space on the road, but one PUV will bring a hundred, maybe more people to work each day, and will continue doing so for the whole day. A private car will usually take one person to work, and then stay idle in a parking lot until sundown.

    The Philippines is a arguably a "poor" nation so therefore what would be good for the masses would always outweigh the good of the few, in this case "few" pertains to private vehicle owners who bring their vehicles to work on a daily basis. So as Dr. Kamiya had pointed out, PUVs occupy roughly the same space on the roads as private vehicles and can ferry more travellers/passeners than a four-seater car. If one looks at EDSA's gridlock during rush hour, private vehicles far outnumber public utility vehicles. This may or may not be the case in other major roads, though.

    In a country where having a private vehicle is a luxury and not a necessity, drastically lowering the number of public transport vehicles plying the roads would have an adverse effect on the lives of people. Case in point: a three day PUV strike or the government cutting down 30% of PUVs plying their on a daily basis. While some of the private vehicle owners out there shout "Hurrah! No traffic!", a lot of the commuting public would not be reaching their destinations. Some of the effects are: production slowdowns/delays because workers are not able to report to work, children being left behind class subjects because they were not able to go to school or being late for school, people loosing potential job placements because they did not arrive at interviews, a poor pregnant housewife loosing her child because she had no PUV to flag down and so on.

    However, I do agree that something must be done to ease traffic along major thoroughfares and that something has to be done to improve traffic discipline of all motorists, regardless if one drives a private vehicle or a PUV.

    If and when an improved coding scheme would be applied in the future, I think is should be applicable to all types of vehicles on the road - no exceptions.

    Wala lang talaga disiplina ang mga PUV driver. Topspeed give the jeepney #1 fastest car around manila. Just becuz the driver is lawless and reckless. Dapat talaga may rules para sa mga PUV na yan. Taasan na penalty like other country.

    tama lang din na kasama private vehicles sir. malaking kabawasan din sa kalsada tayo e. saka malaking luwag na rin naman ang pag allow nila ng 10:00am to 3:00pm sa kalsada kahit coding.

    Bro.,- hindi na jeepney ang King Of The Road these days.

    Mga tricycle at pedicab na,- pila ang sasakyan sa likod nila pag tumatakbo sila sa highway dahil hindi maka-overtake.... (E, bawal sila sa highway....)

    Tapos, iyong mga MC pa na nasa gitna ng kalye kung magpatakbo (ayaw tumabi), kahit na super bagal ang takbo.... Grabe...

    The government should LOWER the number of PUVs on the road. This would help SPEED UP public transportation. How? The solution of moving more people on the existing roads is NOT fielding more PUVs. Its a matter of making those PUVs to make more rounds in a day. Fielding more PUVs will simply give more seats but end up moving slower as a whole.

    Less PUVs on the road will result in better service because you can revoke the operating franchise of a transport company and give it to another who OBEYS the road rules. A bad example is the habit of certain jeepneys to pickup passengers at the foot of road flyovers. Given the flyover is only two lanes wide, the particular jeepney is blocking 50% of the road, slowing up everyone else. Why can't the driver stop meters before the beginning or after the foot of the flyover? This will keep the vehicles moving at a faster pace.
