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!

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.

[shadow]

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...

[SIZE=3]Mabuhay ka Alberto Suansing !!![/SIZE]

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.

I agree with this. Claire de Fuente was actually caught involve in sabit franchise after a few days justifying her illogical reasoning in umagagng kay ganda show at abs cbn haha

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.
