Reason why always traffic

[Dec1983]

let's not be selfish either.. its all up to one's discipline.. passengers flagging down puvs at the wrong place, admit it private cars also contribute in traffic.. specially suv's love to counterflow.. keep a cool head and stay defensive driving..

Jeepney drivers earn their living thru "per ulo" scheme.

Kaya bwakaw sa pasahero mga PUV drivers natin. Kung may fix minimum income sila. di magmamadali at mag aagawan mga yan.

I think the reason why traffic is so bad can't be solely blamed on PUB/PUJ, taxis, etc. We ourselves can/should be blamed for it as well for not giving way. The more we don't give way, the more the flow of traffic will be jammed. I myself am guilty for not giving way sometimes, but I guess it already became instilled in our nature as drivers in Metro Manila. Constantly battling it out with public utility vehicles, trying not to be cut off by aggressive drivers. Though PUV's are also a big factor, its not the main reason. Thats just what i think, at least. )

They are the major reason why traffic is slow or even stops.

For one, their big numbers on the major roads already creates congestion. If you don't believe me, observe the traffic flow when a general jeepney strike is called out. Traffic flow becomes so light and quick.

Next, their bad habits of stopping any time, anywhere, even in the middle of the road to load/unload passengers does not aid in traffic flow. Stopping in the middle of the road not just clogs one lane, it clogs all the other lanes towards the sidewalk as the commuters make their way between the jeepney & the sidewalk.

And then their bad driving habits. Having jeepneys weave left and right all over a two or three or four lane road results in slower movement of traffic as cars and other vehicles avoid colliding with these weaving jeepneys. Cars would prefer to go quick and straight but pesky jeepneys scattered all over the road make this impossible.

Basic driving discipline among the jeepney drivers would result in greatly reducing the traffic problems in the city.

pumunta kami sa 168 mall the other day. grabe ang dami na palang motorized bike dun (kuliglig din ata term) malupit makasingit matatakot ka talaga baka bumangga na sa ride mo. tinalo pa may tricycle sa pagsingit.

bakit kasi pinabayaan sila ng city of manila dumami wala naman silang lisensya sa LTO to operate. pag nabunggo ka nila sorry nalang isasagot ng mga yan. pandagdag pa sila sa trapik sa area duon.
