Transport Strikes Back!

How have you been ka-PTOT? How affected were you in the 2-day transport strike of various transport groups? We'd like to share news highlights of the recent transport strike and our take on the current events.

“For the next two years or so aayusin po, aayusin yung mga ruta before na marami at nalaman na natin na sobra, aayusin po. Yung mga ruta naman po na konti, at dumami na po ang pangangailangan dadagdagan po,” DOTR Undersecretary for Roads Andy Ortega said.

"For the next two years..."

We're still years away from a (hopeful) decent traffic situation in Metro Manila. What can we do about it? We hope PTOT can be part of the solution.

'JUST REGULAR RUSH HOUR'

But in a televised press briefing in Malacañang, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) on downplayed reports that commuters were stranded in parts of Metro Manila because of the transportation strike.

Photos of commuters who seemed to be having a hard time getting hailing public transport earlier circulated on social media, but Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) chairperson Teofilo Guadiz III said that these are just regular photos of rush hour on a Monday.

Just a regular rush hour keeps people stranded already. There's definitely a problem if it is on a regular basis. We have too many vehicles on the road, yet not enough everyone. This is not the way.
