MRT Bus

ito opinion ko lang ha..

kung ako tatanungin dapat mahalan ang bayad sa MRT o LRT, kung baga may premium kung gusto mo mag train. pag ayaw, mag bus o jeep sa edsa o sa ilalim nito.

Parang sa singapore o hk, layo ng presyo ng subway nila kaysa sa mag bus ka. para hindi siksikan sa train.

Biruin mo naman kasi 15 o 20 petot from taft to north edsa o roosevelt.

OT
natuloy ba na dapat hanggang 15 years lang yun mga bus?

I would think that's the point of the standard gauge, na the distance between the wheels are the same for both trains which would be 1435mm. I thought that the voltage may be different but both of them runs on 750V DC overhead cantenary system. LRT even uses second hand cars from Czech and Japan. Probably something else if they can't swap cars.

yup people should pay a premium for convenience

problema very unpopular ang fare hike

naumpisahan kasi nila sa mababang fare

na-spoil ang mga commuter

puro reklamo noong may plano itaas

Why introduce another "alternative" when there are hundreds already causing chaos along EDSA???
Give the guy a medal...

MMDA announces suspension of MRT bus link project after glitch-filled start
March 7, 2013 2:06am

Following Wednesday's glitch-filled start, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 3 bus link project was temporarily deferred.

Gonzalez said testing will resume after "further coordination" with the parties involved.

"Pilot testing of MRT3’s Bus Link project temporarily deferred. Will be undertaken again after further coordination," said MMDA traffic discipline office head Yves Gonzalez on his Twitter account.

The MRT bus link project was supposed to be tested for three days. But the test was marred by confusion among passengers regarding the fare to be paid and where the buses would stop.

Worse, three of the buses in the program were accosted by MMDA traffic constables for passing through the Shaw Boulevard underpass. The MMDA does not allow public utility vehicles such as buses to use the underpass.

Under the bus link program, tourist buses will ply routes similar to that of the MRT-3 - along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) - every 15 minutes.

The project hoped to provide an alternative for MRT commuters as the light-rail system is hard-pressed to service all its customers during the rush hour.

Meanwhile, a dzBB radio Wednesday night report said bus operators complained the P15 bus-link fare was too low, and their buses had no terminal. — DVM, GMA News
