IMO, wala sa class yan, sa estado mo sa buhay, kung nakapagtapos ka ng college or hindi, o kaya sa type (PUV vs. PV driver) - nasa disiplina sa katawan, personalidad, respeto sa kapwa motorista, consciousness sa mga pasahero at sa mga sasakyan sa paligid, awareness sa traffic laws at ang medyo naglalaho nga sa maraming mga motorista (PUV drivers man or private)....

...common sense.
+1.

Wala talaga sa class or estado mo sa buhay, it's really a matter of self-discipline, which is, unfortunately, what many PUV drivers lack. And since, at their level, it's the boundary system that determines what they make and take home, it's survival of the fittest, no matter what.

This problem is just too deep, so getting to the root cause is much easier said than done. But then, if nothing can be done to reduce the problem, it will just keep on growing exponentially instead of incrementally.

I think enforcement is how to start. Gordon and what he did in SBMA was cited. It's a wonder how fellow Filipinos including yours truly, can abide by simple road rules while in SBMA and in Olongapo. I'm not saying Olongapo is free from such traffic problems, all I'm saying is there doesn't seem to be anarchy on the streets due to the proper implementation of the road rules. This is indeed a Herculean task, if it is to be on metrowide scale, but then don't leave it all to the MMDA. Make it the responsibility of the local officials to do it. Cite these local authorities if they can successfully implement it, and reprimand them if they can't. It's a matter of political will, which they can wield, if only they wanted to bad enough.
