Kudos to Alberto Suansing !

[jjmd3_787]

When Mr. Suansing was still the LTO chief, he established his reputation by personally involving his self in enforcing LTO laws on the streets. Apprehending an off-duty policeman who used "wang wang" while driving his Revo, penalizing a taxi driver for not using the meter (kontrata), and many more...

Now that he is the LTFRB chief, Mr. Suansing is intensifying his drive to limit the number of buses along EDSA (5000 units to 1000 units), especially the colorum units. Sobrang sikip na kasi ang EDSA at hindi maikakaila na mga buses ang dahilan. Kulang na lang at gawin nilang paradahan ang EDSA. Not to mention their barbaric way of driving and close-to-unsanitary conditions of their buses. Ngayon nga lang ay 80% na ng buses sa EDSA ang nawala sa takot nilang mahuli. Ganuon karami ang colorum buses!

It's not surprising to hear some oppositions regarding this move, especially from Claire dela Fuente. Mawawalan daw ng trabaho ang 8000 employees nila. E paano naman yung daan-libong napeperwisyo sa trapik (at aksidente) na gawa nila?! I can still recall Ms. dela Fuente's statement years ago: " Public Utlility vehicles only comprises 5% of the total vehicles in the Metro. How can they cause traffic? Blame the private vehicles for it!" Is she stupid or something?

Ang batas ay batas! Ms. dela Fuente should shut up. Moreover, this IMBOA president has only 10 buses with no garage... contrary to her permit to operate dozens.

Sana isali ni Mr. Suansing ang mga PUJ at trikes. Dito sa QC ay marami ang may lowered sidecars (matagtag & hataw magpatakbo) at grabe maningil ... 15 pesos! Although trikes are not covered by LTFRB (sa pagkaalam ko) kasi local government ang may jurisdiction sa kanila, sana makalabit ng kaunti ang mga mayors natin.

Ang hiling ko lang ay sana hindi matanggal dyan si Mr. Suansing. Sigurado kasing may mga nasasagasaan siyang mga personalidad na may mga kapit sa "itaas".

Mr. Suansing, kakampi nyo po ang maraming mamamayan na may gusto sa pagbabagong ginagawa nyo. We strongly support your actions!

[baludoy]

i remember the taxi incident. huling-huli nga iyong mandurugas na iyon. hopefully he continues his crusade of cleaning-up our roads & also his agency at the same time. dami pang room for improvement din dun

[shadow]

saan kaya pwede ilipat susunod si Suansing? kaya naalis sa LTO dahil gusto na alisin yun "8" na plate numbers...tanggal tuloy siya

kapal yan si Dela fuente...ang daming franchise tapos 10 lang ang bus niya, pinapa rent niya yun franchise niya sa ibang operators....

[aNthraxx]

pag MMDA kaya sya?! :D mas astig!!

[Altis6453]

I'll even volunteer to represent him in court if these IMBOA b*stards file a case against him.

[wavecxs]

reduce the number of buses from 5000 to 1000. WOW! that will be awesome!! Makes me smile just thinking about it.

Is she stupid or something?

She's worse than stupid; she plays every else to be stupid.

1. They cause traffic
2. They cause pollution
3. They are not roadworthy
4. The drivers are not qualified
5. The capacities of the are not maximized

But yes, just the thought of getting rid of all those buses really gives me a nice, warm feeling.

hopefully magawa niya. but I really doubt na meron magagawa, probably he will be "promoted" again....

im just hoping that it would be hard to put a good man down! especially a man like him.

[tidus1203]

Well I am all for the bus reduction. Pero then again pano na kaya yung mga mawawalan ng trabaho because of this. But oh well the world is like that, if it benefits me then its the right choice! :evil:

[shadow]

^yan din ang line of reasoning ni Dela fuente...paano daw yun mga mawawalan ng trabaho....hehehe

AFAIK, hinde mawawalan ng work yan ililipat lang ng ibang route yun mga aalisin bus sa EDSA...

[tidus1203]

But surely not all of them can be accomodated. Sigurado at sigurado may mawawalan dyan ng trabaho. Afterall anong route pa ba ang kasing busy ng EDSA sa buong Pilipinas?

The transport industry was NEVER intended to absorb that number of workers to begin with.

By the very nature of the service, there should be only 3 or 4 operators of buses in EDSA, max. The provincial buses should have their terminals at the city or metro periphery so they wouldn't be able to ply the inter-city roads.

I salute Alberto Suansing

To Claire De la Fuente please stop the media exposure and let the government do their job.

IMBOA has done nothing to improve the traffic situation in EDSA, when LTFRB says they need to stop the boundary/percentage system they disagree, when LTFRB says they need to reduce buses, they disagree again.

If IMBOA can't police their reckless and arrogant drivers, they should shut up and listen to LTFRB.

[tidus1203]

And suddenly everyone is going against me! Chillax I was just saying the cons of it pero as I said if it favors me (and it does cause I drive a car) then I am all for it!

[H1Tman]

baka may masagasaan yang campaign niya, tanggal din yan. the bus franchise business is bound to suffer.

[tortvader]

Mabuhay ka, Mr Suansing!

Huwag pansinin yang sina Claire dela Fuente. Wala silang pinag-iba sa mga squatters at mga illegal vendors na anarchy ang gusto nila.

Ito ang dapat gawin sa kanila . . .

LTFRB deploys night teams vs reckless bus drivers
08/28/2009 | 07:34 AM

Following a series of bus-related accidents in past weeks, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has sent out night patrol teams to crack down on reckless bus drivers.

Radio dzBB's Denevin Macaranas reported Friday that LTFRB chairman Alberto Suansing has ordered the deployment of such teams along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) where many accidents had been reported.

Suansing said the teams have been instructed to check against colorum buses or those without franchises, noting many of them ply their routes late night until early morning, the report said....

Sana pati sa Commonwealth, Regalado at Quirino Highway kung saan talagang reckless ang mga bus drivers, nagka-counter flow sila ng matulin kahit may kasalubong, nagababa at nagsasakay sila kahit sa 2nd 3rd lane.

Sa counter flow palang kikita na ang LTO at LTFRB kung magbibigay sila ng violation ticket sa mga offenders. Sa dami ng mga mahilig mag-counter flow sa Fairview area sobra pa sila sa qouta sa dami ng mahuhuli nila especially in the early morning at late evening.

Sir A. Suansing, saludo mga tsikot members senyo. ooops bow pala
