    MANILA, Philippines -- Jeepney drivers will hold a transport strike in Metro Manila and other parts of the country on Monday to protest the recent spate of oil price hikes and high fines on traffic violations.

    Because that means no annoying jeepneys stopping in the middle of the road to pick up or drop down passengers. Mga walang kotse, manigas na lang kayo! :evil:

    I doubt if the protest will be that wide as the first-ever few transport strikes.

    You and me! Sana nga forever. They are nothing but annoyance in the roads not to mention they are the major cause of our bad air. They still use those old diesels...

    kaya in a way, mabuti din na dumadami ang mga nagmomotor

    coz for every 1, 2, or 3 people riding on a single motorbike, that's 1, 2, or 3 people less customers for PUJs

    now PUJ strikes do not have the same paralyzing effect as before

    dumadami na ang mga tao na di umaasa sa PUJ for transportation

    i hope one day maging extinct ang PUJ

    we can't count on the govt to phase them out (too unpopular)

    but we can count on market forces to drive PUJs to extinction

    as long as more and more people become less reliant on PUJs, mawawala mga yan

    Sana lahat ng jeep ilagay sa isang place tapos pasabugin. Everytime may makita ako na jeep na walang hiya kumuha ng pasahero or nakaharang sa daan, ginagamit ko mic ko kahit wala na ko tint. Minumura ko sila di ko tinitigilan unless tumabi or umalis.

    They deserve na mamura kasi kung may ma-aksidente or magasgasan dahil sa bulok nilang jeep wala naman silang pambayad.

    sana isang gabi, pag naka garahe na ang mga PUJ, meron giant robot na kukuha sa lahat ng PUJ

    kinabukasan magugulat ang mga operator at driver wala na lahat ng PUJ

    I doubt this will have much effect, the common jeepney driver would think twice..."Sali nga ako sa welga, eh papaano ang pangkain namin ng pamilya ko ngayong araw?"

    As for the jeepneys totally disappearing from our roads, strong enforcement of laws on registration...by this it means the emission testing alone, without any doctor-fabricated results, half if not 3/4 of this would be enough to eliminate this problem.

    we got to have an effecient mass transport system first..anything short of that is an impossibility.

    It will fizzle out cuz it's only one jeepney group. May LRT, bus, taxis, tricycle, pedicabs at kariton pa naman sa daan. As usual, they exagerate the numbers. These leftys love to pump air into their words for effect.

    Jeepneys will become extinct if age finally catches up on them. Spares for these dodos will simply run out or become too expensive to keep them on the road.

    Kawawa mga students nito lalo na sa mga schools na malayo sa highway. Mga siraulo itong mga jeepney drivers na ito. ang pinapahirapan nila sa pag-strike yung mga tao, not the Govt nor the oil companies they are against.

    tuwing may strike noon, grabe lakad kami hanggang philcoa dahil mahirap makipag-agawan sa taxi lalo na't may mga babae kasi siempre papaunahin mo (ewan ko ba di ko ito mapiligan sa sarili ko). If it's any consolation, marami kang makikilalang chicks while walking lalo na kung may payong ka at umuulan. :naughty2:

    Swerte yung mga nasa U-belt at malapit sa roads. Walang problema sa transportation at siempre yung mga anak mayaman na may sundo or may kotseng dala.
