isa pa, ang mga drivers ng PUVs ay nag ko compete sa ibang PUV drivers to earn their daily living. kung papatay patay ka ay wala kang kita para sa pagkain ng pamilya mo. kese hoda yung ibang motorista. pwede din kasing "lagyan" yung mga traffic enforcers kung me violations, so who cares? ang importante ay kumita. for the PUV drivers, to survive the traffic jungle and earn your living daily is the name of the game.

sad to say, the local traffic conditions are here to stay for a very long time. mai improve lang yan if the govt looks for other alternative means of public transportation and phases out the PUVs to decongest the roads.

Sang-ayon ako kay lolo pepe....alternative means of public transport/mass transport is the way to go. As the current situation goes, if I were a woman, I woudn't even dare take the MRT/LRT during rush hours as there are many maniakis (lalong lanu na sa mga kalalakihan diyan) na sumasakay diyan. The same with the buses. At most, most of the "gentlemen" have left all the manners somewhere outside this earth. There was even one time, a heavily pregnant mom with her little girl -- wala man lang nag-offer ng upuan sa kanya!! To put it bluntly, maraming lalaki nanghihipo at wala pang galang. Sa jeep naman, makakakuha ka lang ng upuan kung marunong kang sumabit. Sa susunod na kanto(pag may bumaba) siguradong my upuan ka. It might be very impossible for any female to do this.
