the LTFRB has threatened to suspend the franchises of those who'd join the strike...

[TEAL]

P5 Discount/liter? kung sino pa di nagbabayad ng tax at major cause ng traffic jam, sila pa magkakaroon ng discount!?!?! Unfair naman yata yun!

[jolog1]

Ganito na lang kaya, cancel lahat ng jeepney at bus franchise. Government program bus na lang at damihan ang train sa LRT/MRT.

Mas madaling ma-regulate.

That's the best news I've heard so far in this matter. Pero IMO, hindi lang dapat suspension, REVOCATION na dapat ng lisensya ang usapan. At least, made-decongest na ang mga lansangan natin. At yung mga matitirang jeepney drivers, mas lalaki ang kita, kasi nabawasan na sila ng kakompetensya. Magtaas man uli ang diesel, manageable pa rin sa kanila.

It's actually better than imposing a moratorium on recruiting additional jeepney drivers. Hindi naman kasi lahat ng tsuper, eh welga ang nasa isip. Marami din ang mas concerned sa mga pasahero nila. Sila yung mga dapat binibigyan ng incentives, hindi yung iba na nadadaan sa sulsol ng militante.

Another way out of this mess:

1. Change the system of bus operators, make it a salary basis and scrap the "boundery" system.

2. Construct more mass transport systems, these buses and jeepneys are simply not efficient, heck they contribute to our ozone depletion by using poorly maintained diesel vehicles.

3. Enforce stricter rules when issuing liscences and franchises.

4. Ban buses more that 15 yrs old, or Impound buses that fail the emissions test. I've seen buses on Edsa literally tilted on one side at least 5 to 10 degrees, fully loaded with passengers, swerving in and out of traffic as if they were a passenger car with their suspension busted and all.

However I highly doubt that any of this will happen anytime soon, and if you follow history, the government will likely give in to some of the demands of these transport groups.

just want to add pa sa suggestions ni iluvdetailing:

1. for metro area make it 1 transport company lang para controlled ang schedule.
2. if the above is followed, organize a metro-wide routing scheme for bus wherein you can plan where you are going by just studying the route numbers on the buses.

our government officials go on junkets to other countries & they can see the transport systems at work there but they cannot do it here.

best solution so far... this has worked for numerous cities around the world... including Mexico.

then set SPECIFIC bus stops so that traffic control will be regulated.

instead of having numerous and half-empty PUVs who are trying to beat each other to the next passenger.

if the so-called transport groups can regulate themselves to doing that we wouldn't have to go to this. WTF are they doing?

EPILOGUE NA TAYO, BOYS!

Grabe, the government gave in to their demands!

But I suppose if it translates to controlled prices for commuters, it's okay with me.

LTFRB to cancel franchises of militant jeepney operators
11/26 1:24:13 PM

The Land Transportation Franchise Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will cancel the franchises of operators who joined Thursday's transport strike to serve as a warning that the government is serious in its crackdown against "selfish jeepney operators."

"We are coordinating with the Philippine National Police for the acounting of all those who participated in the jeepney strike as our basis for the cancellation of their franchises," LTFRB chairman Ma. Elena Bautista said.

Bautista said the LTFRB has already cancelled at least 150 franchises of jeepney operators who have joined in past strikes and they will immediately initiate legal proceedings for those who were involved in yesterday's mass action.

Thursday's nation-wide transport strike stranded thousands of commmuters in various parts of the country.

Bautista hinted that if jeepney operators continue with their mass action, this would hasten the eventual phase out of the public utility jeepney.

The phase-out of jeepneys is a possible option currently being studied by the national government to ease up the traffic in the metropolis.

"They cannot hold the government hostage, they have to think twice because phase-out is among the options being studied by the government," she said.

hindi ba nila naiisip ang perwisyo na ginawa nila? paano yung mga daily wage earners na hindi nakapasok? paano yung mga na late? yung mga napagalitan ng boss?

paano rin yung mga gustong pumasada pero hinaharass nila? sa village lang namin, inaabangan malapit sa tollgate yung mga gustong pumasada. ba't ba nila pinipilit yung ayaw naman sa buset na strike na yan?

[theveed]

Hehe alam mo naman pinas, short term quick fix lang solusyon...
