get a load of this bullcrap (from inquirer):

>>"...bus operators yesterday turned sober and appealed for "human compassion"... to convince BF not to include them in this week's traffic coding scheme."

"For once, don't play God and have compassion," Claire dela Fuente, Integrated Metro Bus Operators Association president, said of the MMDA chair."

"We're not guinea pigs that you could easily experiment on anytime you want. Drivers, in particular, are human beings engaged in decent livelihood.

To avoid an imminent clash with traffic enforcers, she said bus drivers "illegally" plying Metro Manila routes today have been instructed to accept violation tickets and compile them for an upcoming lawsuit. <<

grr... what the hell? sino kayang naghahari-harian sa daan with half-full buses waiting idiotically along EDSA, and in the process hogging up three lanes? sino kaya yung most reckless magmaneho? people living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...

their buses are even the most blatant smoke belchers. point being, why do they always think they can get away with everything? "not guinea pigs that could be experimented on"?? i wonder, then, if private car owners have accepted their position as guinea pigs for years now (since the UUVRP was imposed). not to sound cruel or all that crap, but i say to hell with "human rights" sometimes. sometimes, we just have to do what is practical... :evil:[/b]
