Time to retire and send those $#$#%# jeepneys to Hell!

[night_raven]

yup, retire and replace all jeepneys with this one, and also the buses plying the metro manila routes. let the big buses now be left for provincial routes.

is it me or did they forget to design an emergency exit in case of emergency like fire or what if the bus suddenly topples to its side and pins the entrance.

Alam mo na sa Pilipinas, motoring safety consists of a statue of a Sto Nino on the dashboard covered in sampaguita flowers.

If you're a frequent user of buses here in the metro like me, you'd see those huge windows with words saying EMERGENCY Break Glass. Who needs emergency exits when you can just break the windows and let everyone out in an instant.

it would be nice if these new vehicles would have a speedlimiter built into the vehicle.

Not only a speed limiter, but also something that limits acceleration.

Buses don't accelerate like a sedan, but having them try while cutting off an entire lane is something else. :/

I saw the Beep in the Mitsubishi Union Motors show room in Paco. The vehicle is obviously built on the Canter truck platform, it looks like it has a fiberglass body and the unit in the photos below is an air-conditioned model. Although the Beep is many notches above the jeepney, the trims for both exterior and interior is a far cry from other Mitsubishi/Japanese vans.

The seats beside the driver is ridiculous. Obviously not for ladies in skirts.

The model is an air conditioned unit. And by the looks of it, the aircon compressor would be driven by the engine. I had the early impression that it would have a separate engine to drive the compressor, until I took a peek underneath the Beep.

Unfortunately the CS who entertained me has not much idea on the Beep and could not yet answer my questions.
