[@BP7BlackPearl]

Here in san diego, ca. I went to the dmv. The line, as usual, went outside the building and wrapped around one corner. No distancing in the line, then when u get inside, u have to stay 6' apart. And people wonder why I dont trust the govt. If they arent crooked, then they are stupid, or both.

[@keinlieb3818]

It's all a show. Just like when politicians have their masks off and then it's time to take a picture and everyone puts their masks on, takes the picture, then the masks come right back off again.

I think at some point the government will have to decide if the Covid danger is more of a threat than plunging the Philippine economy into a depression that it will not recover from.

[@infiltr80r]

Well, if people are outside of hospitals, dying in the street from ALL diseases and not just Covid (as covid fills the rooms quick), economic concerns will seem irrelevant. Many cities and regions have already had most hospitals at full capacity.

Fun video! I love this type of video, seeing the sights, hearing the sounds, etc. My imagination is running wild thinking about what may be inside The Comfort Room 08:43 🤣 oh wait... CR? It's the toilets. 🤦‍♂️ Never mind. 🤣🙈

[@larrye2679]

Instead of installing plants help the pedestrians and fix the sidewalks, and ticket the people who block the sidewalks. There should be no reason why people have to walk in busy traffic, especially children.

[@infiltr80r]

Car traffic will only increase in the future and there's no planning for it. So either businesses lose customers or people park almost anywhere. And it's not like you can use the public transport in the Philippines either, it's not decent.

[@yayafan]

The Philippines might be a mess, but however ramshackle it looks they have a remarkable public transportation system. You can go anywhere in a city on a tricycle or Jeepney. You can go on a Victory Liner to anywhere in the nation. If they could electrify the busses and Jeepneys they would have a ready made green revolution. Big if. The potential is there.

[@JDWard-Jeepster]

Sadly the electrical grid wouldn't carry the demand. Power can be iffy here and goes out all the time even without trying to turn all forms of transportation electrical.

[@hansreynders6853]

Jeepnys and tricycles are switching to electric since 3 years. Especially in and around cities.

[@JDWard-Jeepster]

@@hansreynders6853 yes Very SLOWLY! Cost and lack of grid capacity has a lot to do with that. It makes sense that big citys are where they will be used, most are way to limited in range to go on extended trips. You want to clean up the environment then we should be investing in Nuclear, Hydroelectric and Geothermal. These are all more consistantly reliable when compared to Wind and Solar.

Yup, the bus terminal is a tell. It’s usually at least half full. I’m surprised I saw a Philippine Rabbit bus at the Dau terminal because they have their own terminal in downtown Angeles. Even the Dau tricycle terminal looks anemic. Herd immunity looks like a far off mirage.

Hi Brian, having had a house in Angeles for 6 years I always dreaded picking up or dropping off friends or family at Dau Terminal. You normally had 60 seconds before you were pushed out of the way.

Philippine Rabbit shut down the downtown terminal on Henson and has been running out of Dau since they restarted service. I drove past it today when I went shopping at NewStar. My 74 year old father just arrived at Puerto Galera for a vacation, he’s fully vaccinated so no issues on traveling. Face masks and shields are mandated in the Philippines so no matter what anyone states here, it’s really irrelevant until those rules are relaxed whether we agree with them or not.
