Well I don't blame them to be honest, in fact I support them 100%. Kasi that means walang traffic And no I don't offer hitching

Hindi lang dyan may strike, dito sa US mga truckers daw nag strike sa Washington. Balita ko dala nila yung tractor trailers nila, honking loud outside the White House.

Eh... anong gagawin ng Gobyerno? Tumataas talaga ang presyo ng langis sa world market... paano mo pipigilan?

What will the government do? Remove the tax on diesel completely (even though it is already subsidized for PUV drivers) and have no budget to run the country next year? Increase fare prices to the point that commuters will not be able to afford to go to work?

There's a simple solution, really, to this simple problem. Cut down PUV registrations. Sa daming colorum na PUV sa kalye, at sa sangkatutak na approved lines per area, sino bang di maghihirap... if you have twenty buses going after the same twenty passengers on EDSA (I see this a lot)... obviously, something's wrong.

Kung tamang-tama lang ang mga sasakyan sa damin ng pasahero, walang problema. Walang hintayan, walang gitgitan, walang traffic (well, meron pa, pero mas mabilis).

I should know. Seven years akong nagcocommute doon sa manila nung nag-aaral pa ako. Sobrang nakaka-irita na maghihintay ang mga bus drivers o jeepney drivers ng kalahating oras sa isang stop para lang sa isa o dalawang pasahero... P*tsa... sayang ang diesel! Kahit stop-start ang ginagawa habang gumagalaw sa pila, ubos pa rin ang kita nila, dahil malakas ang inom ng mga yan pag stop-start at cold-running ang inaabot.

Yung di ko maintindihan ay yung mga ibang bus diyan... kalahating oras naka-stop... naka-on yung AC. Mga 500-1000 pesos na yan ubos sa kakahintay.

Buti pa mga ibang bus companies, may internal arrangement na hindi sila magkasabay sa ka-line nila sa bawat stop. Mas mabilis. Mas efficient. Kung lahat lang ng public utility dito sa pinas ganyan, hindi malulugi ang lahat.

Anyone here knows the breakdown of our P41/L diesel price or our P49/L gasoline price? How much tax goes into the government coffer? And then, we can share our opinion if the tax is just right...

Simple. Suspend the R-vat. Yan ang nagpataas sa presyo ng langis sa Pinas.Hindi yung tariff sa oil imports. May tariff (1%) pa rin naman e. The government must not rely to much on indirect taxes like value added taxes. Masakit sa mga maliliit na mamamayan yan. Because all transactions (regardless if these were done by rich or poor) are slapped with the same tax rate.

The government must raise its efficiently in collecting direct taxes (imposed to those who have the ability to pay) such as INCOME or CORPORATE taxes to get more revenues. Dagdagan din ang taxes sa mga luxury goods at non essential goods such as jewelries, cigarettes, liquors and beers, luxury cars, non-essential gadgets, condominiums etc...

Mga mahihirap pagbawalan bumili ng liquor tulad ng Tanduay at Ginebra bilog at manigarilyo. ala ng makain pinang-iinom at binibisyo pa..Hulihin on the spot....joke...

With all due respect, its not an easy solution.

With lack of available jobs in the Philippines (including OFWs who came home and just invested in jeepney operations: Katas ng Saudi)this is the most viable livelihood alternative...

Hindi naman mag-papasada sa mga probinsya (remote and rural)yan dahil walang pasahero....

its a complicated problem actually.

Kung tamang-tama lang ang mga sasakyan sa damin ng pasahero, walang problema. Walang hintayan, walang gitgitan, walang traffic (well, meron pa, pero mas mabilis).

Im praying for this also. But can it really be done especially in Metro Manila?siguro in the provinces especially in areas not yet saturated by public transport...(kaya lang hindi nga lucrative)

Problema pa rin ng MMDA yan at sa probinsya. With more that 3 or 4 bus companies competing for the same route nagkakatraffic at bumabagal din kasi nag-aagawan sa pasahero...


Solusyon. Government must give alternative jobs to Pinoys so that they will not just opt to drive jeepneys, buses and tricycles...
