As to the the displaced drivers, conductors of these PUVs, hindi naman siguro puro bobo yan na wala ng ibang alam na trabaho. The good ones will surely find other employments or start small businesses. The bad ones will at least have to stop their vicious vices like drugs and too much alcohol which probably explains their rude and reckless driving.

LTFRB plans the same thing to the jeepneys, which is some routes are worse than EDSA. They clog the streets and their terminals are soon converted into one huge toilet and attracts not only flies and pathogens but also human lowlifes or criminal elements. Jeepney is a sort of microcosm of the Filipino culture and represents the worst among us. Though it is as symbol of our past creative ingenuity it also shows how left behind we already are. Unfortunately, many among us still cling to these traditions and mindset. Erap knows this very well because the guy has the mind of a typical jeepney driver as well as many among pinoys and he is loved and voted by these types.

I highly doubt that. Experience has taught us that. Kung transport strike nga lang eh crippled and stranded na yung mga commuters natin, me included. Take note, even during the transport strike eh less than 30% ang mga actual PUV strikers pero ang lakas ng impact nila sa daily lives natin. Oo nga, wala ngang traffic PERO wala rin masakyan. How many transport strikes do we experience within a year? Around half a dozen maybe?!?

A faster turn-around time??? Same thing, charge it to experience. Nung time ng mga transport strikes mabilis nga ang biyahe pero di kaya ng PUV crew ang turnaround, di pa included yung mga shifts nila, morning, mid, night and earl am. Toxic yung mga puv drivers natin, stressed, tired and hence, more accident prone.
