It's been awhile since I last wrote here. A lot of issues have cropped up then. High gas prices, the MRT operating to capacity, the low level of service by our public transport system.
I guess this might a weekly thing, to keep myself and my readers up to date on what's happening out there that concerns planning, or the lack of it here in the Philippines.
Sometimes its just your surroundings that depress you. The inconvenience of traveling, the smoke, the pollution, the sweat. It doesn't have to remain a tradition, changes could be done. But who will be the ones the step up? Who will be the ones willing to make a change?
My dream is to one day see clean running jeeps, leading the way in following traffic rules, stopping in jeepney stops that are convenient to the public. Theses jeepneys, buses, and other para transit are all stationed conveniently in the MRT and LRT stations. That way, as it has been said before, the transfer from one mode to another will be seamless.
Make it convenient, and the people will ride.
