Bus driver complains about riders in the bus lane

The MMDA continue with their efforts to enforce the exclusive bus lane on EDSA.
There are rumors that the penalty for misusing the EDSA busway will soon be increased. Hopefully this move won't be opposed.

Raising the fines would definitely help. In California going to the high occupancy lane with just the driver is going to cost the driver at least $300.

[@jhuntravelandcarinfo5295]

yes and there is no any barrier just straight white line was enough

[@venzkyle]

The thing is, some Filipino's lack common sense and understanding. Some only cares about themselves and their self-convenience. If the penalty fines would raise, the typical response from these riders would be like, "the government is so greedy". Which they clearly missed the point.

[@Valkross9]

​@@venzkyleAnd we just need someone in the government with a spine, or someone that's not thinking solely about re-election that can tell those people, "You won't have to worry about the high fines if you don't break the law."

[@venzkyle]

@@Valkross9 Absolutely! but it's been said so many timessss by them traffic/law enforcers. The real problem here is the mindset of some Filipino's. Instead of following the rules, they would just choose to be careful next time not to be caught by breaking the rules. Which is a dumb way of thinking. Lot of Filipino's lack common sense and only care about self-convenience. It's proven and it shows. That's why it's hard for Philippines to rise and be civilized.

We live in a country where the culture is if there’s no one (enforcer) to stop you, it’s fine. We desperately need to get that out of our society. Sadly, the only language these types of people understand is money-bigger fines.

[@FixMoto]

I think they should impose stiffer penalties for bus lane violators like license suspension for a month and a fine of P10,000 or maybe put up a signage on the bus lane entry the amount of fine they'll have to pay for violating such traffic rules.

[@welashubby]

Agreed, but license suspension won't stop them. They'll just continue to drive/ride without a license. A better option is jail for 10 days - no way to wiggle out of doing it.

[@FixMoto]

Then if they get caught again for driving without license, the government should pass a law confiscating the violators' vehicle and declare it a property of the government. @@welashubby

This is not just a bus lane but a lane for emergency vehicles. Raise the fine to a MIN 20k + LICENSE REVOCATION then you'll see drastic change, also the bus driver is correct, if an accident occurs in there then the problem will be at its worst.

There are corrupt politicians also, but nothing compared to the Filipinos. I can go on and on.....

[@TravisBicknel]

When we visited Manila, we went to Batangas and on way home we took the city streets. OMG. We almost collided with motorcycles and tricycles without front or rear lights 100 times. Motorcycles ride the lane making it difficult for our van to pass. Cars and trucks running the yellow lights blocking the intersection. In Lipa City, it took us 30 minutes to clear this one intersection. It's lawless, or there is no enforcement outside of Metro Manila. I encourage you to ask your team to visit outside metro manila. But be careful. Drive with extreme caution. I mean, our van had to swerve out of overtaking Commercial trucks, busses , cars so many times. A majority on blind corners. I just don't understand the Philippines. Intersections don't have signages to tell drivers which lanes to take. Everybody just cuts everyone off.

[@akonako364]

For the government plates iirc there's a memorandum for making temporary/improvised plates. I work on LGU I already notice this on every LGU veicles which replaced a month ago. However, it doesn't mean they can go to the bus lanes or violate traffic law as excuse though.

Bigger budget for more enforcers should not be a problem with the number of tickets they are writing, 1 ticket per enforcer per day should cover their salary. Any enforcer who can't find at least 1 violation daily in the Philippines would have to be blind. 🤷‍♂

[@GadgetAddict]

That's the thing.. with most enforcers earning around P500 per day, they only have to issue a single ticket to cover their salary for the day. Anything beyond that is extra that goes to the national treasury. But regardless of the penalties / tickets, having extra enforcers on the road helps to keep discipline and order. That reduction in bad behavior can improve traffic, reduce accidents etc. On paper, it seems simple. But ultimately they have to work within whatever budget they can get approved. Considering it's often less than what they requested, I can't imagine we're going to see any major increase in manpower 🤷‍♂️

[@TSBye-qo1vc]

The State of Pennsylvania used to have old police cars or half a police car with a manikin sitting inside, off the road in the bushes that you couldn't see until you were right up on the vehicle on Interstate 80.

The only way that I think will somewhat solve mc and private vehicles from entering the bus lane is upping the fine to at least 10k for the first violation and 20k in the next plus suspension of license then doubling again from the last and revocation of license. Simple as that. Let's see if those got caught or planning on driving on the bus lane still drive through the bus lane.
