Pwede pang isa sa harap!Hehehe


Safe yan bro, sa dami at bigat ng sakay e hindi makatakbo ng 40kph pataas. Madisgrasya man e bukol o gasgas lang yan.

Yung safety ng isang sasakyan ay nasa nagme-maintain, at nagmamaneho.
Nagkataoon lang na mas barumbado ang mga nasa bus, konti ang didiplina at yung iba babgag pa!

Finally... statistical proof that those damn u-turns are dangerous. I've always felt that the positions were wrong. U-turn slots should be at least one intersection away from the road they service.

Paging the MMDA...

agree. IMO the distance between the intersection and u-turn slot should not be a fixed measurement but rather a percentage or ratio of the road you have to cross. ex. if 3 lanes, 180 meters. if 4 lanes, 210 meters, etc.
problem din kasi is katamaran at katigasan ng ulo ng ibang drivers coming out of establishments near a u-turn slot. minsan halos left turn na ang ginagawa or perpendicular na ang pagcross nila. sample lang yung sa katipunan. pag may galing ng jolibee or even national bookstore e pipilitin pang dun sa tapat na u-turn slot iikot imbes na sa ilalim ng katipunan-aurora flyover. or kung galing dela strada church, ipipilit dun sa intersection ng cp garcia mag uturn instead of going a bit further (around 200M only) sa may start ng UPIS compound.

anyway, regarding unsafe mode of transport. i think tricycles should be higher. mas madalas kasi di narereport ang mga minor accidents at nadadaan lang sa kamot ulo dahil usually libliban at walang pulis sa lugar kung saan nagkaka aksidente.

U-turn slots: brilliant legacy ni Bayani. And I thought he was an engineer.

Pinoys lazy to walk? You bet. Nagpupumilit na bumaba at sumakay kung saan bawal. Notorious jaywalkers - would rather walk under the pedestrian footbridge. Would rather climb over road barricades instead of use pedestrian lanes.

Hot, humid weather is not an excuse, as we've seen in Singapore, Malaysia, HK in summer, and even in some US cities during the height of their summer heat waves.
