Just asking lang . . .

[Mguy]

I created this thread so that guys like us would ask questions about certain oddities we notice whenever we drive around Metro Manila. Maybe someone does know the answers to the questions you ask yourself everyday. If you are going to answer a question, kindly quote it para malinaw lang.

I'll go first.

Does anybody know where the tunnel under the The Fort - Buendia flyover leads to? Or kung anong plano ba nila doon?

[renzo_d10]

Is this answerable ?

... will the bus drivers ever change their driving styles ? for the better ... ?

[istan]

Yes. Make traffic penalties stiffer. Kung ayaw nila mawalan ng kita nila buong araw, follow rules. :D
Syempre, for the gov't to strictly implement it.

Ex. in HK, strict yun rules dun. When I want to get off at an undesignated stop. Driver told me, no way, he'll have no money to bring home if he gets caught.

SYempre dito, pag may ganun...rally ang katapat. :D

[Lucius]

You want an honest and a realistic answer?

Because every single road is a cash cow. That's it. Ever wonder why those MWSS idiots are jacking up almost the whole QC (Gilmore - Morato etc etc)? Again, because it's a cash cow.

Kung magbaba nga lang ng pasahero o magsakay,di nga nila magawang maitabi, yun pa kayang flat?

e ung tunnels na humiwalay before reaching ayala MRT station-- anu un--dudugtungan ng byaheng ayala-direcho?

eto pa: since connected na MRT at LRT-- from edsa-taft MRT STATION, paano ka pupunta sa baclaran LRT station---tatawid ka to EDSA-LRT station or take the round trip?

[jimnyeatworld]

bakit hindi ni-raid ng NBI ang mga bus na nagpapalabas ng pirated movies

[ParticleX]

pansin ko lang bakit hindi mag-stick sa own brand ang mga car companies in their shuttles/service vans?

like for example.. honda uses isuzu crosswinds for transport, lagi ko itong nakikita sa Honda-Magallanes

first walang people carrier type of vehicle ang Honda and second I think Isuzu and Honda are sister company.

Bakit hindi nawawala ang mga dry aquarium kahit na pinpointed naman ito at alam naman ng lahat ng tao kung ano ang ginagawa dito?

[ess]

Bakit palagi na lang sa ingress point ng flyover nasisiraan ang mga 10-wheelers, delivery vans at jeepneys?

[_Qwerty_]

ang masterplan sa fort.. centralized basement parking sa lahat nang building.. na hindi naman natuloy.. kaya may abang don na tunnel na nilagyan nila nang harang kasi last year may sumubok pumasok don..

Does anybody know where the tunnel under the The Fort - Buendia flyover leads to? Or kung anong plano ba nila doon?

[_Qwerty_]

hindi connected yun sir.. may walkway lang na medyo mahaba haba para mag transfer from MRT to LRT... ganito din yata ang plano nila don sa MRT extension from Monumento to SM North.. walkway to trinoma station..

eto pa: since connected na MRT at LRT-- from edsa-taft MRT STATION, paano ka pupunta sa baclaran LRT station---tatawid ka to EDSA-LRT station or take the round trip?

[emj21]

kunting lamig lang po ng ulo... baka mapaaway lang kayo sa mga PUV driver na alam naman nating hindi makakaintind pukpukin mo man ng martilyo sa ulo.. waste of time and stress lang aabutin mo?.. kaya tayo nalang umintindi..TAWA kanalang instead..lol

[alwayz_yummy]

bakit ung mga nag-cocounter-flow na nga sa 1-way street sila pa ang galit kapag nakasalubong mo.. kakatwiran nila "alam ko na 1-way--dyan lang ako!" sabay pa-wang-wang(noon) ngayn--light show nalang(blinkers)

Yung tunnel na yan abang yan para sa gagawin na Ayala Loop (deretso Ayala then balik) kaya if you notice double box culvert siya. It was requested by the Ayalas during the construction of the MRT. Di ko lang alam kung bakit di natuloy, ang pagkakaalam ko Ayala ang mag pi-finance ng construction at that time at di gobyerno...

I was involved in the construction of that portion in 1997-98, kung papasukin mo yan halos 'sing lapad ng Ayala Ave. ang tunnel at hanggang tapat yan ng Intercon kung saan paakyat na ng via-duct.

Additional info kung bakit from Estrella to Pasay Road ang MRT ay sa ilalim dumadaan sa halip na elevated. Ayaw ng mga nasa Forbes, Dasmarinas, Urdaneta dahil security risk daw... With the backing of again Ayala...pinabago ng DPWH ang design kaya yun MRT section lower sa lugar na yan. Even yung estero sa likod ng gasoline station (crossing EDSA from Forbes to Urdaneta) mas mataas pa iyun sa MRT di lang pansin.
