Pati ba naman yan nagkaroon pa ng batas, yung probinsiya siguro hindi sakop yan, depende din kase sa mga pasahero, yung iba kase hindi din maayos umupo tapos kaya yung bagong sakay halos wallet na lang ang nakaupo

While true, I still argue that a 14" width is too small. I'm a big guy, but my rear end can fit within the 14" space. The big problem is I can't sit up straight.

And I'm usually the guy who ends up sitting on the floor so the poor old lady who the conductor shoves in last can sit down. That's why I wish they didn't make it illegal to ride "sabit"-style on the back. I much prefer it there than inside.
