    been hearing about jeepney phaseout 10 years ago

    panahon ng debates namin ni jpdm

    ejeepney daw mag replace sa diesel jeepney

    pero di ma-phase out ang jeepney

    kahit after term ni Du30 di mawawala ang jeepney

    i'm willing to bet real money on that

    It is tough for these politicos to enact laws that impact those people who provides them with the necessary votes to be elected in office. Even worse, some local government folks will not do anything that will hamper their plans of re-election.

    hindi ma-phase out ang mga 3rd world transpo coz too many people's livelihood depend on it

    pilit mo i-phase out mga yan you'll be depriving a lot of people (voters) of their only source of income

    don't tell me maghanap sila ng ibang trabaho

    those people are unemployable elsewhere that's why they're jeepney drivers and tricycle drivers in the first place

    if you deprive them of their only source of income you get a SOCIAL problem

    too many idle, able-bodied men = crime and violence

    then it becomes a POLITICAL problem

    there's no easy solution so politicians kick the can down the road

    meaning they delay or postpone the phaseout

    kaya hindi maalis ang mga 3rd world transpo sa Pinas

    Ewan ko ba dito sa atin. Walang common sense. Parang nasa ulap ang isip ng mga politico. Ganyan siguro talaga pag masyadong masarap ang buhay.

    Two words come to mind when it comes to enforcement, SELECTIVE APPLICATION.

    Pag dating diyan sa Road Rules, lahat ng private dapat sumunod, unless may kapit ka sa itaas then it doesn't apply. Or, pag mukhang wala kang pwede pambayad, ignore ka ng enforcer kahit sandamakmak na violation mo kasi baka magcomplain ka pa na "Anti Poor".

    Pero yun nga weird sa atin, pinipilit agad first world rules pero not to all. Mostly to the middle class ang tutok ng enforcement. The rest, ignore lang kasi it doesn't apply or cannot apply.

    marcos tried. he failed miserably.
    duterte is trying. he hasn't admitted to failure yet.

    the problem, it seems to me, is that there is no viable alternative. i mean, how can you convince the operator to ditch his worth-next-to-nothing current jeepney, for a million-peso replacement?
