The local system sucks (not the train, they're innocent hehe)...

What's the point of having a mass transit rail if:

1) There's no fixed schedule/interval on the train's arrival.
2) No designated point where the train SHOULD stop. Seems like the pilot/driver can choose whether to stop the train right at the end of the platform or at the start of the platform.
3) Why would you put 4ft of space between the edge of the platform and the elevator/stairs? I'm so surprised that nobody has died yet on the tracks.

Honestly, the jam where people are pushed or squeezed into the cabin is even a little "acceptable" for me since it also happens in Japan etc... The worse station in HK during rush hour will be Admiralty during rush hour transit (HK-to-Kowloon-to-HK lines), but still, the fact that people are sane enough to line up between the yellow lines, it gets manageable.

But of course, it boils down to the fact that Filipinos, in general, never learned how to line up in the first place ANYWHERE (on the road, elevator, drug store, etc.)

Can't rant about the MRT alone when it's everywhere and "accepted" as the right way to do things here.
