Trains mean government subsidy for the train system... otherwise it will just deteriorate and break down over time... much like what happened to the PNR... it's either the government subsidizes each passenger's ticket, or they charge them twice what PUV drivers charge them.

Initially, I was happy at the planned reduction... but lately, I've come to realize that what's needed more is a restructuring and reorganization of the transport sector. A total, no-holds barred crackdown on colorum vehicles (crusher, maybe?

), even heftier fines for improper loading and unloading... the imposition of mandatory rear doors on jeeps to prevent passengers from getting on and off wherever they feel like it (so the drivers can't claim it's the passengers' fault... and when the door opens when they're not in lane... huli!) and the appointment of route oversight groups that will monitor the flow and demand on each route and deploy jeeps and/or buses to strategically cover the demand.

What we need is not just vehicular reduction. What we need is discipline... both for public and for private vehicles. Without this, no amount of vehicle reduction will solve the endemic traffic problem in the metro.

With the way MMDA is building those low "obscene" footbridges along out major roads including EDSA, it would be uneconomical to tear them all down just for a few double deck buses. Sigh..I miss those double deck buses in Hong Kong.

Bayani should and could raise those bridges, its just takes proper logistics and management.. Those cheapskates.

Now is there anybody who has experience in doing this? =p

I did several times to report erring jeepneys and buses but there's wasn't even an acknowledgment or anything. I also tried their online complaint and was told to personally bring my complaints with proof to LTFRB. I just forgot all about it. All these were supposed to make it easier to file a complaint but in actuality created an additional step to the already slow and ineffective process.

Okay nga si Mr. Suansing. Kagabi napanood ko sa GNN. Meron daw itong kamaganak na gusto himingi ng rights na pumasada sa isang lugar (I guess ito ang franchise na sinasabi). Ang kaso, puno na ng jeep ang route na gusto ng kamaganak ni Suansing. Being the chief of LTFRB, akala siguro ng mga kamaganak - lapit na lang tayo kay koyang.

Wrong, hindi binigyan ng prankisa ang kamaganak. Ang sagot daw ni Suansing sa kamaganak nya "magtinda ka na lang ng puto"

Walang kamakamaganak sa mama na 'to.

Keep up the good work sir. We salute you :clap1:
