The train stations are better designed, not like the dull concrete structures that we have.

    In Singapore, buses service the places not accessible by the trains. And the buses do not belch smoke because these are well maintained. Other than the taxi, there are no public utility vehicles smaller than the bus. No tricycles, no jeepneys, no FXs. You walk to the bus stop or the train station.
    [SIZE=3]Nung pumunta ako sa Singapore, I was amazed by their public transpos ( double decker buses, several luxury taxis that include benzes, underground trains, cable cars ) Masasabi natin na talagang maunlad ang Singapore. Walang mga traffic enforcers sa streets, disiplinado lahat ng tao. Di katulad dito, hayz.[/SIZE]

    kulang lang talaga ng disiplina mga tao dito sa atin. para ang bayan ay umunlad, disiplina ang kailangan.

    ^We desperately need a Lee Kuan Yew. Nobody else is like him.

    Perhaps build a new city from scratch and build it the proper way with proper planning good for 50+ years.
    It worked for London after the Great Fire! I wish it could be that easy. With 0-IQ administration, we'll never get there. Literally.

    You can trace every problem the Philippines has back to overpopulation. Impoverished people don't have the luxury of getting to know concepts like the common good. If 101% of your resources is spent on surviving the day, how can you think about improving traffic, etc?

    The public transpo & traffic system is merely one of the byproducts of overpopulation and the corrupt political practices it feeds. When there are no more desperate masses voting for politicians giving them dole outs, maybe leaders with the common good in mind can finally win.

    "To end poverty, kill the poor." - my prof last sem. He was just joking, of course. Then again, Metro Manila is just too crowded to do anything well. Some residents should go back to provinces where the air is clean and neighbors not nasty.

    Ng di hamak kumpara sa mga jeep sa Manila. May pinto nga sira naman, may bintana nga kalawangin naman. Di ka man mamatay sa bangga, sigurado dedo ka sa tetano.

    Ever heard of a ricer bro? Ganyan ka at tayong mga pinoy mahilig maglagay ng abubot sa sasakyan. Kotse, jeep, van, AUV, SUV o bus. Yung iba di nga alam kung para saan, tanungin mo para saan yung spoiler di alam, para saan yung de fogger di alam, para saan yung strut bar di alam. E para saan pa at naglagay ka nyan di mo pala alam purpose? Ganyan din sa stickers ng jeep bro, at oo safety feature yan (serves as a reflector/deflector at night) at ulit di gaya ng jeep sa manila, wala na kulay, wala pa sticker, kinakalawang na. Wala kwenta.
