Hmmm...loosely judging from your posts you boys either don't commute much or don't commute at all. ;) If the general public reads your comments, they'd probably think that we are a bunch of eletists pricks here in this fine community of ours.

I'm old enough to remember when jeepney drivers were not a road menace i.e. old timers that follow (well, not always but even us PV owners don't follow road ruls 100% oif the time 24/7) laws and rules. Sadly, jeepney drivers of the last two generations or so degenerated into real bad drivers who don't know diddly-squat on road laws and rules. I stress driver because it's the driver you should "hate", not the jeep. As with all vehicles, jeepneys are just tools and the tool is only as stupid as the person behind the tool.

I drove jeepneys during nights (for a year, when I used to live in Cebu: Basak - Colon route) years ago - just for the heck of it and I tell you, they live difficult lives and I tell you, a lot of PUV drivers "hate" PV owners. Hate begets hate.

Sure, jeepneys are outdated and old and I do agree that public transport in our country needs to be "revamped"/changed. Why, even former Pres. Ramos tried to get the jeepney of our roads but as long as there are Pinoys who earn less than or equal to the minimum wage, then jeepneys are here to say for the "unforseable" future. The jeepney is arguably the most cheapest way to mass transport people from one place to another (that is more than 4 kilometers.)

Also, why blame the government? Government can't think of every solution to all our woes. However, I do agree that they should at least take the lead in looking for an alternative solution.

Do I ride a jeepney? Sure I do! Sumasabit pa nga ako minsan. Why waste precious petrol if I can pay PhP 8.50 for my 4-kilometer trip to the market? Then again, different strokes for different folks.

Kayo ba eh marunong namang mag-commute, as in sumasakay sa jeepney? If yes, so all the time na sumasakay kayo sa jeepney eh you "hate it". Be clear: I'm not trolling or flaming - I just want to know if you have ever experienced riding jeepneys for a period of time, hinde yung isang beses or dalawang beses lang.
