Roads should have been planned long ago when the areas they serve are still being developed. Thanks for the good guys from urban planning who have failed us in this area. As with the suggestions, i think everybody has a good one from time to time, the only problem. They either cost too much or the guys up there are not too amiable to the best solution for it might curb their profits. Try finding a good idea before solutions are needed. And solutions that stick and do make a difference. Well, goes to show how much the governemnt needs to catch up with the fast paced development.

We cant always be on the complaint side. We can do our part in solving the country's problem by helping authorities we sometimes consider brainless get a bright idea they wouldnt have thought of without help from the actual people in the streets. In marketing we follow a simple rule called VOC: the voice of the customer. It's the customer who knows the most. It's just right that we citizens notice these things. Now let the authorities do something about it. (please dont rant about them not doing anything without us not doing anything first) these being your concerns, why not email the authorities and petition them for solutions.

Lately I’ve been taking round trips going home when riding the MRT so I can take a seat. Usually, I get on the last car going south so I’d be on the first car going north, which is a lot closer to where I get off (Quezon Ave.).
Now, I won…

I mean there are already 3 levels of roads there - a flyover, an underpass and the intersection. It can really become chaotic in the middle level since you've got every car wanting to go first which could very well be avoided if the traffic signals where used. And one very bad thing about these U turns is they're pedestrian unfriendly. Oh and about the U turn slots. the classic example of when not to use it is with the Quezon Avenue – EDSA intersection.

I didn't know that they were implementing the <strong>sexist</strong> rule that day, so when I reached Taft--a guard ordered me to leave the car and go to the men's designated car. I felt slighted because I was a man. My problem is--women also use the men's car! These women purposely chose that car because the men would give up their seats to them! Why don't the guards order them to leave OUR car? SEXIST rule. To ensure that I had a comfortable seat, I ride the mrt from ayala to taft, then back to north ave.
