"motorized" pedicabs/kuligligs on the rise! [MERGED]

[reym]

AFAIK, lahat ng sasakyan ng may motor dapat regulated by lto, dapat susunod sila sa rules, lalo na against counter flow.

Yung nang motor na nag cocounterflow sa edsa di hulihin ng mga gungong ng mmda na yan eh.

[lonerunner]

Have you seen this lately on the road? Many of them lurks in the streets especially in the city of Manila (where they are very well tolerated). Perfect example of Filipino ingenuity and creativity. But why the concern?

Picture this scenario . . . you are driving along the road then suddenly a motorized pedicab bumps you from the side, creating a huge dent and scratches. The driver just scratches his head. No money to compensate for the damages. No LTO driver's license. No plate # on his vehicle.

Nakakaasar di po ba?! And believe me, hataw silang sumingit at magpatakbo. Anong hinihintay ng mga awtoridad natin? Ang may mamatay dahil sa aksidente sangkot ang mga ito?!

Attention: [SIZE=3]PNP, LTO, at Mayor Lim[/SIZE]

yang mga yan dont stop sa red light, nag co-counter flow at mga wlang ilaw sa gabi.

Sobrang delikado ito..dpat sa bundok lang ito pinapayagan paandarin o mga lib-lib na probinsya.

bale ano ba nagpapatakbo diyan gasolina o baterya

Gasolina kasi ang makina nila ay yung maliit na motor na ginagamit din sa bukid. Filipino ingenuity at its best ika nga . . . sa maling konsepto.

Talamak na din yan sa Divisoria. Ang lalakas ng loob gumitgit.

Dumami sila sa panahon ni Mayor Lim dyan sa Manila. Ewan ko kung anong bertud meron ang mga ito at di sila hinuhuli?

There is no city ordinance which bans them and the operators of those contraptions are policemen. Those Manila yellow traffic enforcers just ignore them. The only time FILIPINO authorities will react is when someone gets killed...

Just matter of time...

Actually there is an ordinance in most metro cities. The MMDA and other traffic authorities are just turning a blind-eye. Selective apprehension I would say...


At this time, I would say these 3-wheeled vehicles are free to roam the major city streets... until elections are over...

[Monseratto]

Huh?!? What traffic rules? Ano yun?

Problema kasi dito sa 'pinas, mob rule. Takot mga pulitiko gumawa ng paraan sa mga ganitong problema dahil takot sa mga "mahihirap". Because majority = votes.

Dagdagan mo pa na marami sa mga "mahihirap" makikitid ang utak at mahilig sa karahasan. (Tingnan mo na lang mga ga*ong jeepney driver. Sila na nga may mali sila pang magagalit at maglalabas ng pamalo.) You try implementing a rule that's based on common sense and benefits the majority in the long run but requires a little sacrifice on their part? They'd shout, whine and cry about "kayong mayayaman di ninyo alam ang paghihirap namin!" and make stupid rallies that do nothing but cause traffic jams.

Exactly my thoughts...

Filipino Ingenuity??? YAKKK! Ako kinahihiya ko mga ganyang design/concept. Parang basura nilagyan ng gulong at motor para umandar parang mobile junk shop, they are really an eye sore, like yang mga passenger jeepney, AUV, owner, tricycle, kuliglig, motorized pedicab, cavite mini bus, giant jeepney, and etc

Yung iba proud sa mga passenger jeepney natin like Sarao and Francisco ako kinahihiya ko yan. Tignan nyo nga disenyo over decorated na puro pampabigat lang, mausok, aerodynamic is disregarded, parang dinesenyo ng isang karpintero sa kanto, parang yung sasakyan nila Adamm's Family, efficiency? i bet mababa dahil di sya engineered, surplus na makina ng 6 wheeler truck (elf) sinasalpak dyan yung iba vintage na kaya ayun mauusok. Then nag mass production tayo at ginawa natin public transportation.


Tapos pag mamalaki natin sa ibang bansa. Di natin alam pinagtatawanan nila tayo. Kaya tuloy impression nila satin mga IDIOTS and illiterate, kaya ang baba tingin nila satin. Tapos magagalit tayo pag kinutya tayo E TOTOO NAMAN E.

Sana magbago na tayo ng pananaw.

[sgt_taga]

^ agree with you bro... though i wouldn't put it the way you did. :-)

jeepneys might be a symbol of pinoy ingenuity BUT that was 50 years ago. now, that symbol turned into something very negative and backward. when everybody is concerned about saving the planet, ergo fuel efficiencies, clean emmissons, renewable energy, etc., our symbol is a prime offender that deserves condemnation from the earth advocates.

oh... motorized pedicab is no different from the above. --- not to mention, extremely dangerous to everyone on the streets.

I almost ran over one of these stupid things yesterday, the intersection was open and the light was green (not even close to yellow), so I normally proceeded not slowing down since I have the right of way. Out of the blue, one of these motorized gremlins ran across the intersection. I went for the brakes hard(weirdly no tire screeching; ABS+EBD) and swerved to avoid the idiot pedicabby and his passengers. After that I pulled over in front of a nearby 711 thinking I almost killed a bunch of people, my hands were still shaking. Then I went out to check if we traded paint, luckily there was none. I may have just missed them by a few inches... It's really infuriating to think that some people would risk the lives of others by being arrogant and reckless...

[kerf]

sm2by, where did this happen? that's why i am always extra cautious even if the light is green.. better to be safe than sorry.

[junerski]

manila area nagkalat ang mga motorized pedicabs... its selling like hotcakes because its affordable like the motorcycles that also increased in number substantially... i think lto should take a look at these pedicabs because gradually they're becoming more of a tricycle than a pedicab (driven by a motor)

owners gradually modify their pedicabs by putting exhaust systems, suspension upgrades closely resembling that of a duly registered tricycle.
these pedicabs should aslo be issued plate numbers soon.

Mahihirap thinking? I saw one scene during a rally for a minimum wage increase. Tinanong ng pulis yung isang rallyista:

Pulis: "Anong pinaglalaban nyo dito?"
Rallyist: "Itaas po ang mga sahod!"
Pulis: "Ano ba trabaho mo?"
Rallyist: "Wala po."
Pulis: "Anak ng tokwa, ipaglaban mo muna na magkaroon ka ng trabaho bago magtaas ng sahod!"



Toinks!

proactive mag isip...

[mikomac]

AFAIK. these are illegal because these are not registered at LTO. marami nito sa Espana and maybe cost 20 pesos per trip. sayang lang pera mo sa ganito, eh kung nag jeep ka nalang?

[ans_lim168]

From what I noticed this is common at the City of Manila, they are so visible even on major streets...in front of City Hall, SM Manila, P. Burgos, Quiapo and Divisoria areas are so infested with these contraptions, they should be addressed by Mayor Lim but I don't think he will not do anything about this ( votes ) are more important than getting rid of them. National government like LTO should step in and confiscate these eyesores, political will is needed.

[myas110]

they always like to counterflow on the streets....kahit de-motor or hindi.

[Lyle]

I hate them (period)
