    Wala... FYI lang daw. Food for thought íka nga. :D

    malaya na ulit silang dumadaan sa underpass.... dapat sa kanila ikulong sa 2 outer lanes at sementuhan ng hanggang tuhod. magsama-sama sila ng PUJ dun, di ubra sa kanila yellow lanes.

    Tama ito. Kahit ano gawin, dapat bugbogin nila mga kapwa puv driver nila.

    Nakakapikon talaga mga buses na yan....

    Southbound ako and it was already 11pm last sunday, so i thought pede na akong mag EDSA. i always use C5 dahil walang mga bus pero dahil late na, naisip ko pede na mag EDSA. Pagbaba pa lang ng EDSA/quezon ave flyover ang trapik na...... yun pala sa Santolan na naman nagkukumpulan ang mga bus na nasa labas ng yellow lane. ang masama pa nito, halos lahat ng mga bus, konti ang sakay....

    inabot ako ng 40 min from quezon ave to santolan dahil lang sa mga walang bus drivers na ito....this was a sunday at 11pm

    bakit kasi ang daming mga bus na binigyan ng franchise eh.... yung iba pa, mga colorum

    Up until they can discipline those bus drivers to keep to their bus lane, I'm in agreement with BF (or was it the guy previous to Chairman Tolentino, after BF) who put lane dividers and fences on certain parts of Edsa. It worked wonders in Guadalupe both directions, IMO, because buses could not cut into private motorists's lanes. Lock them down there. Just open up a gap if there are corners that private vehicles need to turn into, but make sure the gap is not big enough for the buses to fit.

    When the MMDA or enforcing body can strictly implement the rules on these buses, slowly take away these dividers. As part of implementing rules, increase the penalty for violations. Make it high enough that these b*stards cannot just scoff at it.

    the only way to lessen buses is to lower the fares. Kasi ngaun ats kahit 1/3 LNG puno kita na sila. Inagine diesel at P40+ tapos min fare ng aircon eh P12-P15. Tubong lugaw talaga.

    but that's not possible, kse ang mayari ng buses are mostly retired Armed Forces, so effectively walang powers ang MMDA.

    pagdating namin sa lowering of fares, Malabo din kase yan LTFRB eh pugad ng retired AFP din.

    So basically, oligopoly na yan EDSa Bus system.

    If you ask if they have care or concern for the working / middle class productivity, hahaha they don't care if mabawasan ang GDP natin sa inefficient working conditions. Basta solb na sila dyan, that's all that matters.

    ----

    It will take a civil war first if you want to change something sa mass transport. And sadly, the present conditions will just get worse. With buses in EDSa even doubling in the next 3 years

    so is there hope? None!

    the only thing we can hope na Lang is karma. They are inconveniencing the productive members of society, so ang balik sa pamilya ng mga nag-benefit dyan matindi, like sakit, malas, or in danger lagi ng patayan kse ang structure ng mass transport ngaun is parang criminal syndicates na naman eh. nature will correct itself, Let's count on that.

    Ang hanapbuhay na marangal walang element ng kahit anong pahirap sa kapwa. and this transport system walang marangal dyan kahit na baluktot na katwiran pa nila na nakakatulong sila sa pasahero.

    Tram system ang kelangan sa EDSa with at least 3 three rail lanes na fixed at may govt subsidy ang fares. Non-profit dapat yan bec EDSA is a major central lifeline ng all M.M. Cities.

    If we propose this, Baka magka Coup pa

    Baka yung mga extra roads, ground level or elevated man, na gagawin nila MP at AC ay makatulong. Tapos ipatupad na yung No Provincial Bus Sa EDSA

    The entire bus system is a livelihood. nun nagka run ng surplus ng OFW remittance, the extra. Money was encouraged to invest in those buses.

    moonlighting policemen drive those AUV expresses during off times. Ano sa tingin nyo pangarap ng retiring or biz oriented law enforcement people, eh di mag-own ng buses. Coz they practically wasted their entire law enforcement lives on the streets, so yun din ang last resort nila.

    kaya nga don't hope anymore. That highway is doomed!
