nakaka--inis na nga motorcycle/kuliglig sa daan kasi singit ng singit... and now we have scooters.

As I mentioned earlier... petrol scooters along Taft!
Yes, madali sila huliin sa EDSA pero paano naman sa smaller roads. May naka-illegal parking na nga, may biglang motorcycle pa na susulpot... tapos scooter?

Scooters make a lot of sense as a last mile transport... Gate ng village to your house? or in places where there's a bike lane.

Singapore is studying insurance for scooter riders thanks to a recent statistic of 3 accidents per week.

We can't have the infrastructure, pero siguro naman we can ask Scooter riders to pay for damage to cars during an accident.

I'm sure responsible scooter owners will pay for the damages incurred during an accident if proven na sila mali, and vice versa for car owners.

Although scooters are ideally a last-mile resort, ideal is not always practical. And in our setting, leaving the house at 430AM for an 8AM job isn't practical either.

--- I agree... just like the motorcycle and bicycle riders we have right now.

then that's an issue with the drive and not the mode of transport

Pero as a car user, I do agree. Nasa pagiging responsable lang naman yan. Kahit naman alisin mo yung motor sa irresponsableng driver and ilagay mo sa kotse, irresponsableng driver parin siya.
