    People take to the MRT to avoid the traffic caused by too much buses along EDSA.




    MRT Bus, pwede nang sakyan ng mga pasaherong ayaw makipagsabayan sa dami ng tao sa tren.

    MRT ticket din ang gagamitin sa bus kaya P15 ang pamasahe dito. Sa North Avenue station lang ito magsasakay at ang drop-off points naman ay sa Ayala, Magallanes, at Taft Avenue stations.

    Isasagawa ang experimental run ngayong araw at kung epektibo, itutuloy na ang paggamit ng bus hanggang makabili ng karagdagang tren ang MRTA.

    This is good. But BRTs require a dedicated road lane. IF this one has it, then it is all good.

    Diba kay Chavit yung Genesis?

    That is a good alternative it seems, non-stop, point A to point B lang. Hope it can help rid also of those pesky buses on the road at huwag lang may makulit na pasahero na nagpupumilit bumaba sa ibang stop.

    ganun pa din, kaya ka nga nag MRT kasi iwas ka sa EDSA traf.

    Pansin nyo ba na iba ang width ng riles ng MRT sa LRT, kung pareho lang sana e pwede na mag hiraman ng tren, kasi ung LRT locally assembled na ung ibang unit.

    Madadagdagan but in a way, the bus is constantly moving and will only stop at two points so it should not contribute much to the traffic caused in choke points such as Cubao, Shaw and Guadalupe. People still take the buses because the MRT is waaaay over it's capacity so definitely having a point A to B direct line can be a good alternative for commuters. Being a car user, I abhor more buses on the road but i also feel sorry for those who have no choice but to commute every day. When i see our staff arrive in the morning, they're already drained just from the commute which takes them two hours at the average.

    Yeah, our MRT/LRT lines are not similar. Heck, i still find it stupid that the EDSA MRT designed and made "at grade" when it should be elevated.

    pagpalitin na lang,
    yung train ilagay sa kalsada tapos yung mga bus pagdugtung-dugtungin sa riles.
    ang problema yung mga bus baka di na makagalaw dahil panigurado puno yung riles from north to taft.

    gawa nalang ng riles sa edsa

    tanggalin ang tires sa rim ng mga bus. i-welding ang steering assembly para di mapihit

    ipatong mga bus sa riles

    Ung standard po ay ung riles (rail track), ung distance po between wheels ang magkaiba, kasi kung same sila pwede sana maghiraman ng tren, assuming same din ang operating voltage ng mga tren.

    Apparently the MRTA has no franchise to let those buses run through EDSA and didn't coordinate with the MMDA of it's plan. Three of their buses were arrested for passing through the Shaw underpass...

    ok yan. para masanay na mga tao na bumaba lang sa mga designated bus stops. pag medyo matured na yang system na yan, pakonti konti na lang iimplement sa mga regular buses.
