Electric Scooters

[ironman06]

I was in a gas station along Taft last week and I saw a Petrol powered scooter...

My thoughts on scooters...

Bawal dapat sya sa road (e.g. like Singapore)

sidewalk lang dapat.

Being a driver... nakakainis na nga yung mga motorcycle...

scooters are even smaller (mahirap makita sa side mirror), obviously sa right side din "overtake" nila and swerte mo kung titigil ng maayos in an emergency.

to add na ang didilim ng roads natin tapos ang baba ng lights ng electric scooter

MMDA is discouraging electric scooters on major roads

If you saw yung nahuli ng MMDA sa EDSA, bawal talaga yun. We are not allowed on EDSA and C5 and major roads talaga.

As for scooters sa pedestrian lane, if malapad and may dedicated bike lane (like in BGC) that's where we ride. We do admit na sa roads kami dadaan, but this is more of "where do we pass" and not by choice.

I was initially against the idea of using a scooter. But the HORRIBLE traffic situation in the Metro has forced me to look for alternative methods of transportation. Just like the ones who gave up their cars for bikes or motorcycles.
