MSOpinion 'Metro Manila’s public transportation'
“The persistence of the road transportation problem is the failure or inability of our transportation authorities to rationalize the exact roles of rail, buses, jeepneys and tricycles in Metro Manila’s overall transportation system”This is because the problems at hand need their immediate attention.This problem has been crying for solutions for years that expectations are high that the new administration can finally solve the problem.
As we are witnessing, there are several rail projects currently going on to add to the existing MRT3, LRT 1, and LRT 2. The ideal situation should be that when rail is available along a route, there should be no more buses or jeepneys to compete with rail.EDSA is the best example of a chaotic situation.There is no order. Tricycles should bring passengers to jeepney lines and jeepneys bring passengers to bus lines so that each of these services will not be competing against each other but complementing one another.
These 10 bus cooperatives were assigned specific routes to avoid competition with the MMTC being the only one whose routes could be modified depending on the need of a specific metro area.The government, therefore, was able to reduce the number of bus operators to a smaller number that was much easier to supervise and control.
