A single franchise on EDSA, or a centralized conglomerate would mean:
-less buses during off-peak hours.
-no lane-squatting, no jockeying for position and swerving.
-more efficient service, less wasted money on diesel and maintenance.
-less buses, period. The work of twenty buses now plying EDSA could easily be performed by ten buses running on a good schedule.

seriously, are you kidding? the jeepneys should all have been gone from our main roads by now!! but they are still there, competing inefficiently with the buses, because our politicos pander to the masses, a large fraction of which eke out a marginal livelihood from driving jeepneys.

it seems that anyone with half (or a quarter) of a brain, who can't get any other job, can aspire to be a jeepney driver and risk the life and limb of not only himself and his fellow passengers, but of commuters and private drivers, on a daily basis!

ditto for bus drivers who are anything but professional...

it's funny that these guys aren't qualified to push paper, but they are "qualified" to risk the lives of multiple people.
