A Future for Jeepneys (What do you think?)

[drey]

A recent study published in a Metro Manila newspaper compared the fuel use of a 16-passenger jeepney to a 54-passenger air-conditioned bus and found that the fuel consumption for both was the same.

This is sad. I know that Jeepneys are flooding the streets right now and if the government might bring the Jeepney transport in to halt, there will be a crisis with the family who depends on it.

And if there is no control, traffic would increase and pollution will increase as well. Much worse, global warming.
What do you think should be the solution for this? We cant let our city become more polluted and our fellowmen starve.

hmmm... ano kaya future ng mga Jeepneys?

way back in HS, someone offered this solution: phase out all jeepneys, replace them with minibuses. the two drivers could then take turns being driver/conductor.

i also read this article recently about LPG-powered jeeps. it came as quite a surprise -- akala ko LPG is for gas cars exclusively

[drey]

that would make sense... it can bring down half of the Jeepney population...

You can use LPG in diesel engines but you have to inject some diesel with LPG at the same time for the engine to run.

Dapat naman kasi limitado lang ang ibinibigay na prangkisa para hindi over crowded ang mga jeepneys sa mga kalsada natin mas malaki pa ang kita nila hindi yung takbo ng takbo kahit walang pasahero.

Limited naman ang jeepney franchise, marami lang talaga colorum.

I don't understand why we can have the system being used in Hongkong where minibuses and coasters are being used for short trips. Here, we have simply too many jeeps.
I think that they should reduce limit the use of jeeps for short routes and leave the long routes for buses.

i agree! really long routes should be served by train.

I doubt that they'll adopt that here....

Ayun hindi ko naisip mga colorum na yan mas madami pa kesa sa mga may franchise.

the government should supply traffic police with sunglasses so as not to be glared by the sparkling PHP100 or more that the colorum jeepney drivers give them(yung pang welding).

Boy scouts na lang kaya manghuli?

how much does a coaster/rosa cost? its almost 3M! Jeepney cost only about 200K. Plus, it is such a hassle waiting for minibuses to be filled with people para maka-alis na agad.

hwag na yung rosa. maxi-jeep na lang. gawa tayo.
tapos yung drivers, swelduhan or per trip yung kita. the more trips they make more money. yung mga pasahero di cash ang pambayad. sms...1 pagsakay....isa pagbaba....may doors yung maxi-jeep, calculated ng phone company yung pasahe...babawas na lang sa load....pag kulang load, babawas na lang yun sa susunod na magpa-load siya - automatic. yung globe, smart o anuman ang magbabayad sa maxi-jeep company. e di walang holdapan.

pwde ba yan?

[A121]

ok ang jeep. basta regulated naman ng LTFRB at LTO kayang pagandahin ang serbisyo nyan. we could even force those old diesel engines to run on 100% Biodiesel.

there's a point. Sir Oyil- what are maxi-jeeps?

According sa survey, a 16 seater Jeepney consumption is equal to a 54 seater Bus. More Jeepneys = more emissions. But More busses = more passenger capacity = less emissions but longer waiting time.

Even Chinese minibus cost 1.7M. Still a big money for a kawawang Jeepney driver. Tapos kung SMS naman, mas maganda kung card, same system sa LRT . Pero mawawala nang tabaho si Mr. Konductor. Besides, I think it would be hard for Globe/Smart/Sun to accept such billing schemes. Baka pag-kaubos ng load tapos may utang sila and they'll swap the sim or throw it away without reloading and its a long wait for finished transaction. Share -a -load/e-load nga minsan, tagal ng waiting time. Mas maganda kung parehas sa E-Pass ng Globe found in MRT stations.

* Sir Oyil, ang hirap pala talaga bigyan ng solusyon to. Parang sa Economics, "Positive Analysis since there are people who may benefit and there will be people who will suffer burdens. hehehe

[OyiL]

kung madali nga....tapos na yan.

ayan e-pass pwede. maxi-jeepney is a more sophisticated version of the jumbo jeepney - gawa natin.

di ba mas mahal magpalit ng sim keysa tatakasan yung bayad? dapat pag-bumibili ng sim, magpakita ng driver's license. dapat mahirap bumili ng sim - dito sa singapore, kilangan mong magpalista ng pangalan at identity number. para daw di gamitin ng mga terorista sa pag-detonate ng bomba.

ehehehe... sim cards costs about 90PHP. Tapos kung utang mo is 100... Lugi na Smart/Globe/Sun nyan.

E-Pass is better pero mawawala ng tabaho si Mr. Konduktor since driver nalang kailangan.

May Pics ka ba sa Maxi - Jeepneys? What do you think about double decker Jeepneys tapos LPG powered sya. :cool:

[OyiL]

[drey]

GUys, have you ever thought about Street Cars? Bakit hindi sya naging uso sa Pinas?
