Manila’s City and Provincial bus ban starts today

[qman]

Off TOPIC, QC passed a resolution to allow tricycles sa EDSA hehehehe.... Subject to MMDA approval pa.
Parang kabaligtaran naman ang solution ni Bistek

di kasi nila kayang disiplinahin ang mga bus na mahilig mangarera, para bumagal ang takbo ng bus sa EDSA haharangan ng mga mababagal na tricycle.

[niky]

oo nga tapos mga kasamahan nating mga pinoy dami reklama keso naglalakad daw sila ng 100mtr para sumakay ulit sa ibang jeep
grabe naman kayo. sa ibang bansa nga like japan,singapore ilang kilometer ang nilalakad nila bago makarating pinakamalapit na station hehe.
wla lang may masabi lang ako.

Have you actually walked between transfers? For provincial riders, going to Manila often involves three to four trips and transfers. If you're a student or an office worker lugging around your papers, trying to keep your uniform clean and trying to navigate the garbage-strewn and often flooded streets and sidewalks, each meter of walking inside the city is just as tiring as walking ten meters in the park or a subdivision.

I often commute for work, when picking up media test units, so I don't have to look for someone to drive my car back home or need to park my car. And I'm not going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on taxi (more than it would cost me to hire a driver). I often walk five hundred meters to a kilometer along the major thoroughfares.

Sometimes, just for fun, I walk two to four kilometers, just to see what it's like.

And it's pretty horrible. There's no space on the sidewalk because electric poles, elevated walkway and MRT/LRT staircases and vendors take up most of the space. The rest of it is usually taken up by the fences they use to cage people in. (One wonders why they don't put the fences in the road gutter, instead of taking up valuable sidewalk space!)

And when it rains, you will get very wet. Even with an umbrella. If you're in the Taft area, your shoes will be destroyed if it's been raining more than thirty minutes, because everything floods. During the Ramos-era four-hour traffic jams, when the LRT broke down every other day, a lot of us walked several blocks along Taft rather than take our chances with the overcrowded jeeps.

Walk in Makati and you'll never need to go to the gym again. Every single street has to be crossed by walking four stories down into an undeground bunker and walking four stories back up. You could take the escalators... if they're on. But when they're on, that means it's rush hour, and they're so crowded it's faster to simply take the stairs.

And don't get me started about the pedestrian overpasses on EDSA...

Japanese cities and Singapore are very pedestrian-friendly. In Singapore, you can walk along elevated walkways with roofs for several blocks. Metro Manila? It's a crappy place to commute, and it's an even worse place to walk.

Want to solve the traffic problem? Fix the fricking sidewalks first, then start banning the PUVs.

Mukhang miss na ni Bistek ang pagiging ta- artits niya.
Nagba- balik comedy eh. :banana1:

I normally walk from Pacific Star (Makati AVe. cor Buendia) going to SM Makati (UV terminal), minsan along Makati Ave, madalas I take the long route, enjoy pa nga mag walk, I particularly like the view. http://tsikot.com/forums/sports-heal...-health-94563/

Talk about backwards.

Papayag MMDA pero yung catch is, pwedeng sagasaan at wasaking ang mga tricycle pag sa EDSA. Walang kaso. Para mabawasan yung trike congestion.

[Manilablock]

4 lang ung identified bus stop,
1 - UST
2 - luneta
3 -
4 -

ung 3 at 4 nakalimutan ko, pero bukas magkakaalaman na lan kung saan talaga

[Syuryuken]

additional na botante na naman kay bistek yan

[testament11]

Passed by Espana south bound going to FEU last Saturday at around quarter to 5. Well, good to see walang bus at maganda ang flow ng traffic. Pero ang masakit sa mata, yun mga jeep na walang pakialam kung saan magbaba at magsasakay ng pasahero. May mga nakita kong jeep na nagbaba at nagsasakay ng pasahero sa 2nd lane. Yang mga ganyan pa naman ang masarap babaran ng busina. Sana isunod na nila i-regulate ang mga jeep.

[testament11]

In other news...

[baludoy]

^ according to isko, who just finished an interview right now on tv, the sticker at issue symbolizes that the bus has a terminal in manlia w/c goes along w/ his grand scheme of traffic things. so in effect, it's still status quo

now, the concern is will this sticker system be another source of suhol generating operation. iyan ngayon ang tanong

btw, he also said that the next to be "regulated" will be the pedicabs and the kuligligs

Picture this:
Jeepney driver ka, galing Rotonda pa- Quiapo via Taft Ave. Pagdating sa Buendia, merong pumara.
Nasa gitna ka pa ng kalsada (2nd lane), jeepney stop is about 20meters away pa,
'yung pasahero mo na pumara naglalakad na palabas ng jeep mo na uma- andar pa.

Hihinto ka ba sa gitna ng kalsada para maka- baba ng maayos ang paasahero mo o andar ka pa rin
para umabot ka sa Jeepney Stop risking naman na malaglag o madapa ang pasahero mo?
Kung bababaran mo ng busina, sino ang pinariringgan mo? The driver or the passenger or the TEs
na imbes na nag- aayos ng trapiko eh nangingi- nain sa kung saang Gotohan?

Konting pang- unawa lang... Peace... :peace:

For me responsibility ng jeepney driver na icontrol yung pasahero niya. Sa araw-araw kong pagsakay ng jeep, napansin ko na basta pumara ang pasahero, kadalasan tumitigil na ang jeep. Pero sa totoo lang, kung hindi naman pumreno yung jeep na yan, hindi rin bababa yung pasahero dahil malamang no one wants to disembark from a moving vehicle.

Kung tutuusin, wala namang talo ang jeepney driver kung sa tamang babaan siya magbababa - nakabayad na naman yung pasahero. Talo lang sila sa sakayan - kung sa tamang sakayan lang sila magpupuno, uubusin ng ibang barumbadong jeep yung pasahero. This is where TE's come in - dapat iregulate nila na sa tamang sakayan lang pwede maghintay mga pasahero.

Again, political will. Kung nagagawa sa Makati, ba't hindi gawin sa Maynila?

Napaka- hirap kontrolin ang mga pasahero.
Pag may pumara, sigaw ka rin naman ng "Sandali lang ho at itatabi lang natin sa may Jeepney Stop!!!"

Putr*gis!!! Pagdating mo sa Jeepney Stop, naka- talon (or nalaglag) na 'yung pasaherong pumara. :mad:

Ampch... This speaks "kotong" and tong-pats all the way. Parang sticker lang na pinipilit ng mga LGU sa mga legit businesses and their delivery vans. Before you know it, lahat ng buses, may "sticker" na.

Ako pards wala pang nakikitang nahuhulog. Worst is badtrip na pasahero kasi hindi siya tinratong donya at binaba sa eksaktong spot sa earth na gusto niya. Mas may control naman kasi yung driver diyan, disiplina lang talaga, it has to start somewhere.
