Life without cars

[recalljoshua]

There are a lot of things to get around Manila and having a car is the most convinient one. If you commute, not only do you have to walk the last km but the incomvinience of transferring from one to another. Plus the time wasted on routes they take. I won-t give up my car.

Since i live near my work place, commute lang ako pag weekdays. Then on weekends, holidays at pag sundo kay gf ko lang gngmit ung oto.

In my case kasi pag nag dala ka pa ng oto sa office mas matagal pa ang oras at hassle pa sa parking kesa commute.

Sabi ng mga office mates ko okay na daw ang mrt ngayon kahit rush hour. Na try ko din last week, sumakay ako 7pm and before mag 8pm nasa trinoma na ako. Sana magtuloy tuloy na.

Okay na MRT? Do you think dahil sa Bagong ticketing system? Honestly di na ko pumipila for tickets. Nagpapalaod ako pagkababa ko at usually walang pila nun sa load stations ng LRT/MRT stations.

Kasi if effective pala ticketing systems, they need a follow up on that, I'd like to hear the next plan.

Maybe it IS the ticketing system. The previous system was prone to fraud. I've seen some individuals using really old scratched-up cards that you can tell is fake or tampered with. When they use it, it locks up the gate for the next passenger causing more delay. The fare is also higher and there doesn't seem to be a "bonus" ride anymore.

Yung mga mandurugas (good riddance) huminto na sa pagsakay. Yun mga medyo kapos naghanap na ng ibang alternatibo.

Ako since estudyante pa naman ako, I don't have the need of bringing a car to school UNLESS sobrang kailangan talaga like kung sobrang maulan, maraming dalang gamit, etc. Regular akong commuter and since malayo ang school sa bahay, i'd rather commute kasi talo pa ako sa gasolina + ang traffic pa+ ang hirap pa maghanap ng parking sa school. May friend naman ako na sumasabay sa akin and nag-aambag naman siya sa gas pero conflicting yung schedules namin eh. Isang beses nagdala ako ng oto sa school muntik na ako ma-late sa klase ko kakahanap ng parking. Pero if I would give up my car, NO. Kasi necessity rin yun eh. Mahirap talaga pag walang sasakyan kaya we're still Blessed na may option kami to bring a car.
