A Future for Jeepneys (What do you think?)

[badkuk]

GUys, have you ever thought about Street Cars? Bakit hindi sya naging uso sa Pinas?

have you seen our roads? for some reason, we can't seem to make them anything close to even.

Jeepneys? Ngayon, baka mas marami pa ang tricycle sa kanila..... Ang mga tricycle na ang Hari ng Daan. They dictate the flow of traffic almost anywhere.... And, both consume a lot of road space,- resulting to heavy traffic...., resulting to lost hours(unproductive workforce) and wasted petrol/diesel, and hot heads.... Not an attractive proposition to almost anybody.....

Para ma-phase-out ang mga jeepneys (and tricycles),- kailangan ng political will to make a law and implement. Sadly, walang political will ang gobyerno,- takot maging unpopular,- baka mawalan ng suporta sa susunod na eleksyon. Ooopppssss,- OT na.

Pero ito ang totoo....

We used to have them in Metro Manila. But the system was destroyed beyond repair during World War II.

Trivia time, the company that ran the street cars was MERALCO.

Future ng jeepney? IMHO, malaki Isuzu Philippines already allow their brand new engines install in a jeepney... Eto yung mga jumbo jeep na may aircon...

Kailangan lang natin ng political will para mag buo ang gobyerno ng ahensya na mag aayos nito..

1. Cooperate and negotiation sa mga existing car manufacturer sa atin to share their technology or engine like what isuzu phil does. mas maganda kung ang engine eh CRDI na... or 100 percent run sa biodiesel

2. Make a new design of our jeepneys... alam ko and daming Pinoy na napakagaling gumawa ng design.. may thread na nga tayo dito eh...

3. financial side... " Lately galing ako sa Cagayan De Oro napansin ko yung mga taxi nila halos lahat puro brand new at take note karamihan eh 1.6 engine pa.. talong talo ang manila...." papaano nila nagawa iyon? SOFT LOAN mababang interest rate na binibigay ng bank sa mga gustong mag tayo ng taxi biz. papaano kumikita ang mga bank kung mababa ang interest na pinapatong nila sa loan? State own bank like DBP/LANDBANK nagbibigay sila ng mababang loan sa mga bank na humihiram para i finance sa mga taxi... san kumukuha ng pera ang state bank? foreign assisted projects/loan dito na pumapasok ang world bank/Japan bank at ADB. Same process ang employ dito sa manila in terms of jeepneys

4. change the system instead of boundery system eh gawing monthly salary katulad ng ordinaryong empleyado sa company.. based sa performance of KPI's and benefits salary..

5. REGULATE dapat talaga ang jeepneys sa sobrang dami na nila ang liit ng kita at laki ng nawawala sa kanila dahil na din sa trapik.

remove jeepneys and revive the airconditioned double deck love bus..

the love bus can accomodate more passengers, as long as they buy it brand new..

sobrang pahirap na ng mga jeepneys sa mga commuters at motorists.. malakas lang kase yung fedjodap, piston kaya up to now may dyip pa din..

---

imagine 7 pesos ang pasahe sa jeep.. while for an FX/REVO aircon ..10 pesos lang..

remove the jeepneys! just keep some for private collections..

[badkuk]

jeep fare from sta. cruz to buendia is 10 pesos; bus fare on the same route is 8 pesos. de aircon pa!

[mike01]

bakit nga ba nawala yung double deck love bus? napaka efficient people carrier nito.. at symbolic din naman..pag napapadaan ka sa escolta ito ang nakikita..

the new airconditioned jumbo jeepneys are plying along makati as we speak. they look enormous as compared to the old ones but can carry more comfortably.

[mike01]

pag si bayani fernando naging presidente ng pinas may chansa mawala ang jeepneys

Maybe from Sta. Rosa-based Sunpower Philippines Manufacturing Ltd? It was featured in the Sunday Inquirer yesterday.

baka naman isang jip nasa 1M mark na, will they be replacing or adding?? dapat replace kasi sobrang dami na jeep

[C24]

yung brand new jeepney w/ brand new isuzu 4hf1 ay P700T and up na.

although costly, how about putting jeepneys and buses on rails ala mrt or tranvia? kahit naka diesel pa rin sila, bawas na perwisyong dulot nila sa traffic and eventually mababawasan emissions.

Auto parts makers want local parts in public jeepneys
By Ronnel Domingo
Inquirer
Last updated 04:04am (Mla time) 05/22/2007
Automotive parts makers have teamed up with a group of jeepney operators to develop a “Philippine-made public utility vehicle” in support of the government’s plans to rehabilitate the country’s jeepney fleets.
The Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP) said it had signed a memorandum of agreement with the umbrella group Philippine Jeepney Operators and Drivers Alliance Foundation, as it was wrapping up preparations for the launch of its “Philippine Utility Vehicle or PhUV.”
The MVPMAP embarked on the development of a PhUV prototype in part to convince the government to provide incentives to investors that would take part in developing a “national vehicle” using mostly local parts.
MVPMAP officials said the PUV initiative would be part of the group’s PhUV campaign for perks.
It would also support the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ plan to “refleet or rehabilitate” the jeepney sector’s 240,000 units spread across the country.
The PUV program is aimed at targeting the nationwide PUJ refleeting program to make the existing PUJs powered by surplus diesel engines comply with Euro standards on exhaust emission.
There are an estimated 67,000 jeepneys in Metro Manila alone.
“Public utility jeepneys are a basic form of transportation in our country and a PUJ should naturally be made with as much local value added as possible,” the group said. “Thus, we came up with the PUV idea.”
The MVPMAP said it would campaign for the PUV jeepney to be part of a PhUV program of incentives from the government, the officials said.
The PUV program would also fill in the demand for a coaster-type minibus, which could be air-conditioned.
In the process, all these were expected to modernize the land transportation sector.
