Customers come first; inconvenience of commuters comes first

It is more fun criticizing

Express travel has been preferred by travelers and commuters and pedestrian frinedly roads and pathways.   This is not the case in the Philippines.  The regulators have been bent in making systems that may be good for the  commuters and pedestrians.   They forgot that systems and or changes must be customer centric -  put the customers first and foremost.  Consider:

    1.  North and South Terminals.    You have to stop at terminals and get another ride at the city  Despite

         the seamless north and south expressway access, those travelling by bus have to get off on, get off

         get on to other buses.  Not the  most convenient and modern way to travel

        Plane travel, and travel via colorum vans and or personal vehicles would be more convenient

    2.  The pedestrian overpass and train access.  You have to climb steep stairways.  This does not

          dwell well with senior citizens

   3.   Vendors and other obstacles along pedestrian walks.

Please plan around the convenience of the citizens of the communters please sirs.  Planners.  Govt genius

Challenging economic recovery ahead of us

It is more fun criticizing

The post just made a travel to the north.. Despite stringent travel restrictions and requirements, he was able to patiently get these.   But looking at the indicators around, the road may be tight ahead.  After registering 9.5% decline in the economy, the recovery will be hard:

    1.  No provincial buses were seen;  they were all confined in the garages.  H

         1.  How many drivers, conductors inpspectors and other bus company employees lost their 

              jobs

         2.  How did this affect the movement of goods and people?

         3.  How many vendors and other people making money out of bus travel lost their revenues:

             restos, bus vendors, gasoline stations

    2.  How about the express way operators:  NLEX, SCTEX, TIPLEX?

    3.  In general, the economic activity look tepid.  Couple that with the floods and other calamities

All ready we see declaration of bankruptcy  a Philippine flag carrier 

We see many companies closing their doors forever to business.  Millions are out of job
