    I've just noticed that everytime I come across a MMDA / Traffic Enforcer on a jeep or a bus, they don't even bother paying the fare. Is this a privilege or what. No offense to anyone here that has relatives who work in these goverment departments. I just want to clear it up. TIA

    maling mali yang hindi pagbayad ng fare sa bus or any puv's,just because your someone in authority.
    naalala ko tuloy yung sabi ng uncle ko na pulis:"dapat nga mahiya ka kasi naka uniporme ka at paano ka gagalangin ng tao,kung kahit sa pagbayad ng pamasahe ginagamit mo pa ang pagiging pulis mo,dapat lumaban ka ng patas."

    In my opinion they should be able to have free rides.

    case in point:

    Dunkin Donuts.

    Lam nyo ba bakit laging may donuts mga pulis? kasi libre sila.

    Bakit sila nalibre? Kasi laging ninanakawan Dunkin Donuts noong di pa libre sa mga pulis products nila.

    After naging libre na, the theft stopped.

    And isn't it much nicer na yung authorities are almost everywhere? Unless criminal ka or some filthy communist, you would feel more secure.

    Napakalaki naman ng bus or jeep, ano ba naman yung extra two to three na libre. Libreng protection pa. It's not like sya lang ang sakay mo.

    naalala ko tuloy. last monday lang to. sa harap kami ng traffic. naka motor ako nun. katabi ko MMDA naka motor din. tapos walang helmet. sinitsitan ko tapos binusinahan. pag lingon sakin sabi ko "brod di ka ba nahihiya? MMDA ka pa naman at naka uniporme tapos wala ka helmet?" inulit ko dalawang beses (this time tinabihan ko na sya para marinig nya ako). nagtatawanan na mga kapwa namin naka motor. nag gayahan na din sila ng kantyaw. iling-iling lang yung creature na yun. wala sya magawa. mali sya e.

    sama nito hindi sya hinuli nung pulis at kapwa nya MMDA na nag tratrapik. pinanuod lang kami. e knowing na mahigpit sila sa marikina.

    I understand the statement but then, the question is why shouldn't they pay the fare? Even if it's for protection and all, the bus operators are making a living out of those seats that are being taken by them. IMO, they should be fair in paying the fare (wow! rhyme ). I would be glad and grant the free ride if the traffic enforcers / MMDA are fair in the highways like what lexter said, mga di nakahelmet and they're enforcing people to wear protection gear.
    Practice what you preach ika nga.

    They could have an MOU with the operators so that they ride for free. In the US most transit authorities have an MOU with other law enforcement agencies for officers to ride for free on or off duty. Maybe someone could find out the answer before jumping to conclusions and castigating traffic enforcers/MMDA.

    I think they are not exempted from paying fares. It's up to the driver or conductor if they would collect fares. Otherwise, it's another form of "kotong".

    totoo naman makakapal ang mga mukaha ng mga yan... kung sila manghuhuli kala mo kung anong krimen ang nagawa mo mga nakasampay pa mga siko nyan sa bintana ng kotse mo na kala mo me hinahanap sa loob ng auto mo, na hindi naman dapat...

    lalo na dyan sa may edsa galleria, nako walang inaabatan yan kundi yung mga lalagpas, mga nag beat ng yellow, take note yellow pa lang at mga coding kuno na yan...

    mga makokotong ang mga inaatupag, pero yung dyip sa kanto kahit green light na eh hindi pinapansin kesehodang binubusinahan ng private car sa likod...

    mga baluktot mga yan... mga makakapal ang mukha... crooks in uniform ika nga...

    yun pa kayang libre sa fare? hahaha... kapal...

    I ride the bus often, and the policemen that I have ridden with always pay for their fair.

    In my opinion, dapat lahat ng authorities (pulis/ military / special forces / even mmda) libre ang fare sa mga public transpo (except taxi) to further enchance their work.

    A bus for example can normally seat 80-100s of people. ano ba naman yung libre na isa hanggang tatlo?, may free bodyguard pa kayo.

    These people are human beings too, they also need their pride. Siempre if people around you by default respects you, siempre you'll have more sense of well-being and you'll do better in your job. Being in a better state of mind will lessen chances of being a crook.

    another example is if may hinahabol yung pulis kaso wala syang pamasahe, di nakatakas na yung criminal.

    Mas malaki pa rin ang benefits ng pulis aboard PUVs kasi sa visibility pa lang nila maa-avert na ang potential crime.

    Hindi naman natin kaaway ang mga pulis and other forms of authorities. Marami pa rin matino sa kanila though admittedly, marami ring hindi.

    But does it mean we should be hopeless? of course not.

    We should look at the bigger picture here.

    When I come into power, i will surely enforce this.

    Kaya minsan parang gusto ko na rin maging MMDA enforcer, biro mo magaabang ka lang ng iba't ibang violation tapos pag para mo dilhensya na kaagad? Easy money diba? Tapos libre ka pa sa pamasahe. Ang sarap diba? Kaya lang ayaw ko lang matulad dyan sa mga yan, nanlalamang sa kapwa. Gusto ko patas ang labanan para hindi ka nakukunsensya.

MMDA / Traffic Enforcers- free sakay sa lahat ng PUV's?
