This is very true. Ito nagbibigay ng lakas ng loob sa mga hudas na jeepney dyrber para maging barumbado. dapat higpitan ang appearance ng jeep

there will also be set lanes for them to stay on, but this should work both ways. it will be a traffic violation if they stray out from the lanes, and private vehicles that will go into those lanes will also be under the "strike 3 you're out" policy. private vehicles that will stray in these PUV only lanes will be impounded for a month!

lanes on the roads will also be modified. all loading points or stops will be at the center of each block, not at the corners. lanes 30 meters before corners will be designated "no stopping/parking/waiting" lanes and must always be free from traffic. only those vehicles that are turning right will be allowed within this 30 meters of rightmost lane.

ang kaso, need ng hitler or stalin to have this implemented!

kaya ni BF ipatupad yan kung bibigyan lang sya ng pagkakakataon at walang ibang politicians na tututol....

....with the way our jeepney drivers are driving. those jeepneys need roll cages and bucket seats for passengers with 3pt. harnesses.

sana ay mejo aerodynamic ang jeep natin para tipid sa gas. how about using brand new engines (kahit yung ndi hi tech) instead of using decades old diesel engines???
