MANILA, Philippines — Before the government starts building cable cars, as one senator suggests, it should restore old public transportation routes first, some lawmakers in the House of Representatives minority bloc say.

 

Rep. Arlene Brosas (Gabriela party-list) and Wilbert Lee (Agri party-list) said Wednesday in a news briefing that the government should focus on bringing back routes that remain unserved to this day, which transport and commuter groups said severely cripple the existing public transport supply.

 

"Ang kailangan ho talaga ay maayos iyong ating mga sasakyan, mabuksan ang mga franchises ngayon, makabiyahe ang ating mga jeepneys, makabiyahe ang ating mga bus. Iyon pa iyong kailangan ngayon. Hindi po iyong cable car na pag-uusapan natin," Brosas said.

 

(What we really need is for vehicle franchises to reopen, for our jeepneys and buses to resume traveling on the roads. That’s what we need now. Not these cable cars that we are talking about.)

yes genius - let us go back in time and ensure that the jeepney continues to pollute and obstruct for years to come. No need to bother with any improvement - the peasants will smile and stand in line.....Proud to be Pinoy.
