Another transport strike set on Sept. 25-26

[Little Missy]

so, was monday's puj strike a success?
aside from inconveniencing the commuting public, what else did the recent puj strike result in?
for heartless me, 'twas less traffic on the road...

Sad that it has to be the poor (commuters) vs the poor (jeepney drivers).

Also, hindi naman puv ang nagpapatraffic.

I'm saying volume ng private cars ang nagpapatraffic. Totoo naman eh, mas maraming kotse sa daan kesa sa puv pero pa isa isa yung sakay, sa puv siksikan. Yung behavior ng driver, meron din sa private cars na pasaway lets be honest.

Lahat tayo nagpapatraffic. Commuters, private owner, drivers, puvs, even enforcers.

To say that "di naman puv" ang nagcacause ng traffic on the initial statement is kind of misleading.

Bulok na kasi yan sistema ng mga jeepney... ang setup may 1 ka jeepney.. operator ka na agad. Tapos kukuha ka ng drayber.. so hati pa kayo sa kita...

Noong araw kasi government mismo nag operate ng transpo unlike now na private individuals.. so kung 1 lang jeepney mo mauubusan ka talaga ng capital at wala ka na pang upgrade..

Dapat ang government na mag pasimula na buy out yang mga bulok na jeepney then mag rationalize ng bagong routes.. tapos organize nila yung mga drayber.. alisin na yung operator

+1 on this. Sa ibang Asian countries, hindi gaano kadami Taxi's, at ang mahal pa. Kaya main transport ng commuting public dun is electric trains, as in TrainS (madaming reliable and well maintained trains). Di mo na kelangan magdala ng sasakyan dahil maganda train system kaya di gaano ma traffic, less pollution pa. Tsaka yung mga tao dun di tamad maglakad. Kung selfless government and people lang sana tayo, kaya natin magbago

If that was the case, then kahapon, at qc circle at around 5pm. Sobrang traffic cause nagpapack up na ang mga nag rarally. So traffic parin cause labo labo na.

At least in my route, di ko naranasan ang less traffic.

Also, the "di naman puv" statement seems to be an addition and not a direct reply imo. But hey, this is a forum. Hirap basahin ang iniisip ng tao.

Well, kanina sa tv, ininterview yung sa head ng commuter welfare (and safety ata).

Sinabi niya na wala naman pabago bago requirement ng gobyerno about sa modernization but rather di lang marunung yung mga jeepney coop panu magsubmit ng mga requirements ng banking institutions.

So, yung iniinterview nila, sabi nagtuturo nga sila free of charge dito sa mga jeepney group, kasama na yung ACTO panu makumpleto requirements nola sa bangko, hindi sa gobyerno.

So, wala nga nadulot yung transport strike except pahirap sa commuter kahapon at wala naman talaga babaguhin. Tuloy pa din implementation, as of now.

Ang issue nila yung cost. Hindi nila afford yung loan. Pahihiramin ng landbank, with interest aabot 2M.

Well, that's the thing. The whole model of a single unit PUJ operator was unduly allowed to continue and proliferate pero hindi naman yun talaga ang requirement sa batas. So with 250,000+ units plying the roads, most if not all are single unit owned and operated, naging mom and pop operation na ang PUJ. No hope of modernizing kasi kung umaandar pa ang 10, 15, 20 year old na jeep, sige lang ang pasada.

Again, an operator of a public utility must show that he has the legal, technical and FINANCIAL capability to own and operate a public utility, in this case, a PUJ. Hindi kailanman nila naging karapatan ang mamasada sa kalye dahil lang nagmamay-ari sila ng jeep.

These PUJ operators are framing the issue badly in that they have "no money" with which to buy a modernized jeep, pero yun talaga ang kailangan mo to operate public transport that is both safe AND convenient. Hindi naman sagot ng gobyerno ang financial viability ng pag-operate ng PUJs. On the contrary, it is the operator who must show they are financially capable kaya sila nag-apply and nabigyan ng franchise. If they were dealing with this intelligently, they should have lobbied for higher fares outright and a higher amount of loans, waived franchise fees, plus tax incentives for 7 years to soften the initial blow of the cost of the newer jeeps.
