JEEPNEYS..DAPAT NA BANG i- PHASE OUT?

[imprezawrxsti]

GOOD DAY EVERYONE, I would like to start a thread here on our "jeepneys". When and how, the right time to retire these boxes, tingin ko parang pagod na pagod na sila and what is our alternative mass transport and for the drivers who gonna lost their job?

[kotiko]

Nah, I personally think hindi dapat. Even though they're the craziest drivers around, its still something na nasa culture na natin ata nakasanayan na natin. :D Philippines would never be the same again without the jeepneys. It's like one of our country trademarks! :D

[ghosthunter]

personally the jeepney should be phased out or at least be given a development plan to upgrade it to more modern standards of engineering and discipline.

[ILuvDetailing]

Take them off highways and major roads. They'r simply inefficient, smoke belching, road hazard, dangerous, and worst of all these jeepney drivers are inconsiderate.. well you know all the stories. Contruct more efficient mass transport systems, train these drivers to operate them.

[ephraim]

no! haha! may mga kotse na kasi kayo eh. =p like what ghosthunter said, give the jeepneys an upgrade. but don't phase out. it's a part of our culture already and people are already used to this.

[2004lynxghia]

imho..not in my lifetime..not in the current political patronage system of governance we have..not until we all filipinos unite for the common good & bright future of the generations to come..meanwhile status quo lang tayo..sabit istribo rin ako dati, aba..

I-phase out ang mga jeepneys sa Metro Manila lang. Sandamakmak ang jeepneys dito. Karamihan colorum at mga bulok pa! Pero sa probinsiya, kung i-phase out ang mga jeepneys, ano ang magiging mode of transport ng mga kababayan natin? Tricycle? Kuliglig? Kalabaw? Eh, bibihira naman ang mga may kotse sa province. Yung mga bus companies naman long distances lang mostly ang mga biyahe.

It's about time to phase out Jeepneys in Metro Manila. Aprub ako riyan!

[Rediesel]

iphase out yung mga hunghang na jeepney driver, ire educate sila, alisin yung boundary system, gawing swelduhan kontrolado ng state. para wala ng reason for them to drive like maniacs on the road.

dagdagan yung parusa sa mga public utility drivers na may homicidal tendency kung mag drive, kung pwede 1st offense 100 slashes ng rattan, 2nd offense 200 slashes with hard labor sa Iwahig, 3rd offense putulan ng paa at kamay at itapon sa dram ilubog sa dagat ng buhay.

[baiskee]

walang kinalaman yung jeepney. kasalanan yan ng driver and operators.

drivers should be disciplined and educated enough...operators should be responsible enough maintain the units in tip top shape. kaya nag kaka leche-leche ang lahat.

kung hahanapin mo yung bulok? nasa gov't agencies (LTO, LTFRB) ang problema. bakit?

1. sila nagbibigay ng prangkisa (PUV)
2. sila nagbibigay ng lisensya

pero lahat ba yan dumadaan sa tamang proseso?

Answer: NO, kasi karamihan sa ating mga pinoy...nabibili. masakit tanggapin pero yan ang totoo.

sabi nga nila ghosthunter, ephraim....upgrade lang katapat at disiplina.

[CLAVEL3699]

Nope. Educate the driver and phase or upgrade na yung mga luma.

Para sa akin, i-phase out ang jeepney, retrain them to be disciplined bus drivers, preferably like the double decked buses in Hong Kong para pwede na rin bawasan ang bus. I believe naman that if public transport is safe, clean and comfortable to ride in, mas mababawasan na rin ang mga magdadala ng sariling sasakyan, let's face it, who wants to drive if you can have someone who is a safe and disciplined driver drive for you? Yung iba namang disenfranchised drivers naman, dapat hanapan ng ibang hanapbuhay.

Matagal na naiisip yan nang government pero walang gustong magtuloy.

[empy]

yep, dapat yung driver ang i-phase out, hehe

actually, in all seriousness, the jeepney is a very inefficient mode of mass transit. since they move in more random routes and don't have defined stops, they are more disruptive to traffic. since they only carry about 20 people at a time (?) there needs to be a whole lot of them. even if they were the most disciplined drivers there would still be chaos.

buses with strict bus stop areas are more efficient, and rail transit is even more efficient.

i'm not sure if this will ever happen though - nakasanayan na eh...plus the jeepney drivers are a well-organized political bloc

[garyq]

yes but provide alternative transpo for the commuting public and alternative jobs for the jeepney drivers. Opinion lang po

[gearspeed]

upgrade lang at educate yung mga drivers lalo na yung mga hindi nagiilaw kapag gabi mga biglang kabig or like others said phase out na dapat yung mga drivers..

[bongliza]

Jeepney is a Trade Mark na of Philippines. Gawang Pinoy ika nga. Phasing out may not solve the problem. Siguro minimizing the number would work somehow. And how 'bout a brand new Engine for all jeepneys? Not surplus from japan.

[Karding]

Jeepney Upgrade = Tamaraw FX ba?

I agree. Drivers and dapat i-phase out kung hindi disiplinado.

[ILuvDetailing]

Mahirap i-upgrade mga drivers... hard to teach old dogs new tricks.
Better train the next generation of Jeepney drivers.
Ban beat up, old jeepneys.

[odell]

ok naman ang jeepneys.. trademark naten yan eh.. pero sana ay stops sila.. hinde pwede un tatabi na lang bigla diba..

[yan_168]

hwag naman iphase-out ang mga jeeneys kawawa naman ang mga mawawalan ng trabaho. dapat gawin dun dapat disiplinahan mga drivers. mahirap na po ang pinas hwag na natin dagdagan ang atin problema sa mga transportation. peace tayo lahat
