Meron naman metrotren, LRT and MRT lines. Then there are also buses that ply edsa. And as some of you state in other threads, these are half empty, so take them! take 50 people who usually drive to work in 50 cars, fit them in 1 bus(well, realistically these people of course go to different places), there goes some of the traffic, and a lot of gas is saved too. Plus if the buses filled up faster they wait less time at the bus stop.
One more thing, why don't those congressman and senators sell their V8's and drive a 4-cylinder car, mga hiprocrito talaga mga yun... endorsing khaos and driving a gas guzzlers.
Car pooling rin, lets say you and some of your neighbors work in the same area, such as makati, sabay sabay na lang kayo pumasok, save gas, less mileage on your own car, less parking fees, may kwentuhan pa habang papasok ng office at pauwi.
yan nga ang indi ko main-tindihan sa patakaran sa atin ng mga fuel producers. Palagi nila sinasabi na ang presyo ng krudo as nasa 55 USD /barrel na, getting their price index sa NYMEX. Bakit, diyan ba sila bumibili? AFAIK, sa Dubai sila bumibili, ion which the crude prices is about 5 - 10 USD lower than the NYMEX. Di ba maliwanag na hi-way robbery ito in broad daylight?
kakarmahin din sila... pero honestly maliit lang kita nila... government ang kumikita... sabi nun kaibigan ko na may-ari ng maraming caltex, sa service daw sila bumabawi pati sa mga convenience store... yun gas maliit lang daw yun...
Oil firms celebrate Easter by jacking up prices anew
SOURCE: ABS-CBN NEWS
Several oil companies commemorated Holy Week by jacking up their prices by P0.50 per liter last Maundy Thursday, it was learned Saturday.
Oil giant Pilipinas Shell increased the price of Shell Velocity to P31.30, while their diesel was jacked up to P26.25.
Total Philippines and Caltex Philippines followed suit on Good Friday.
It was the fourth oil price adjustment this March.
Caltex Philippines and Pilipinas Shell, however, assured that they still provide one peso discount to public utility jeepneys and buses, which use diesel.
Oil company officials earlier said they plan to increase prices every week to recover their losses from soaring world crude prices.
The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Marketers Association, on the other hand, announced there will be a two-peso increase per kilo of LPG next week.
sa neighboring country ng pinas mas mahal ang mga krudo. I think sa india is unleaded gas is 1.05 USD per liter ata so that is around 55-56 pesos a liter.
