LRT And MRT Services

[ka dante]

Sumakay ako ng LRT 1 kaninang hapon at grabe, ang sobrang init, para kang nasa pugon, talagang tagaktak ang pawis ko mula bunbunan hanggang talampakan. Hindi gumagana ang aircon, nakablower lang eh yung binubugang hangin ay mainit din, kaya para kaming nilulutong pandesal sa loob ng tren. Siksikan pa naman.

 

Dapat na talagang ayusin nila ang mga tren nila.

 

Sa mga gustong magpapayat, sakay na!!!

[sehara]

segragetion is ok. Pag sumusunod and tao. Pasaway ang ibang mga babae, may space na para sa kanila, nakikipagsiksikan pa sa iba. Which defeats the purpose of segragation anyway.

oo nga, pakiusap lang sa ibang babae. dun kayo sumakay sa first car para naman merong matirang space sa mga lalaki dun sa mga alotted cars para sa amin.

 

siksikan na nga, tapos makikidagdag pa kayo, sus naman!

 

tanong ko lang, meron na ngang special car para sa mga chicks,

pero bakit yung ibang babae gusto pa rin sa likuran ng tren???????

[pikachoy]

The MRT is the best way to travel along EDSA.  When I visit the Philippines (I'm from L.A.), I ride the MRT to travel between QC and Makati.  While riding the MRT, I observe the pace of traffic on EDSA and thank my lucky stars that the MRT exists.

 

As for the LRT (from Pasay), I hear from some people that it is not well kept and that many have had their pockets picked while riding on it.  I, therefore, do not ride the LRT.  How accurate are their accounts?  Are there many pick pockets on the LRT?  Are the LRT cars not as clean as MRT cars?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

add comments lang..

 

those pickpockets po strikes everywhere.. so ingat na lang sa mga belongings na tin

 

LRT cars are clean naman.. so old na nga lang kaya akala natin madumi pa din

 

well, tiis tiis na lang tayo on what means of transpo we have kaysa sa wala..

 

alala ko tuloy sabi ni Mr. Oreta years back.. "sa ikauunlad ng bayan, bisikleta ang kailangan.." *exercise pa* :goatee:

 

ang problema ko lang dito: ang hirap makabili ng stored value card. laging out of stock. rare card baga...

papara pakyaw! mamakyaw ka na lang dude ng SVT! :thumbsupsmiley:

[dummyact]

:evil: LRT1:

- hassle talaga yung segregation, d kasi pinapalipat yung mga babaeng ala kasmang lalaki, minsan pa nga nakakita ako ng lalaki sa 1st cart, sinama siguro ng gf

 

- may carts pa rin na walang aircon, naabutan ko isang beses huwaw ang init :evil: labas uli ako hehe

 

- maiintindihan ko pa yung bawal canned goods (iwas na rin sa LRT bombing from years ago :cry: ) kaso pati ba naman yung dala kong live lobster na naka-seal sa plastic? d naman makakakalat ng sakit yun kasi nga may sarili syang hangin eh baka sya pa nga ang mahawa! mga aso, ibon, buwaya siguro maintindihan ko pa...

 

 

MRT:

- kahit mga professionals from Makati, mas walang disiplina pa kesa mga commuters ng LRT1; one time yinaya ko yung uncle ko galing abroad na mag-MRT na lang para iwas traffic, la kasing service car nung araw na yun, ayun napahiya lang ako sa Ayala station kasi mas malala pa yung mga so-called "professionals" sa bagong route kesa mga commoners sa LRT1

 

- may kalayuan ang station sa Megamall, ang sikip pa ng daan sa baba, may mga psote at puno pa; sana man lang gumawa sila ng elevated walkway kung ayaw nila ilapit yung station sa mall

 

 

LRT2:

- bitin yung station! balita ko hanggang Divisoria daw dapat yun, kaso dahil sa corruption (mga lagay ata?) naubusan ng funds para sa last station, kaya parang bitin nga yung dulo kasi kataas-taas ng inabot para lang tumagos sa LRT1 line, tinuloy pa din (d naman siguro sadyang parking area ng trains lang yun? )

 

 

pero all in all, thankful ako at may ganung train system tayo :thumbsupsmiley: ilang seb din ang na-save nun dahil d ako na-late!

[dummyact]

hmm can't edit... dapat talaga hanapin ko sa mga FAQ bakit can't edit hehe

 

anyway dagdag lang, sa LRT1 na-pickpocket yung backpack ko, naramdaman siguro yug mga coins ko dun (for jeeps, etc) aba pati first ever pay slip ko pinatos! sentimental pa naman ako...

[Justiin13]

haha yung silver na lrt halos lahat ng cart sira yung aircon

[haru_glory]

dapat may cart din na pang lalake lang.. wakokoko.. para patas.. tapos ung isang cart naman e pang lovers... wakokoko ulit..

[crazykalbo]

hassel talaga yung mga taong walang disiplina... mahilig manulak grabe.. pinoy kasi sila eh kaya inuunawa ko na lang. wawa naman eh.. indio

[Justiin13]

mahilig manulak pag papasok tapos haharang sa pintuan. ang luwag naman sa gitna.. sana maging on time naman ung mga train yung sobrang punctual.

[ayasadai]

bad trip nung isang araw, sobrang tagal ng tren sa MRT Taft Station, tagal ko nag antay, langya init pa naman!!!

[henyotic]

dapat siguro may oras at araw lang yung segregation sa mrt sa edsa. pag peak hours lang siguro at wala na sanang segregation kung weekend kaso konti lang naman mga pasahero during those times.

[crazykalbo]

mahilig manulak pag papasok tapos haharang sa pintuan. ang luwag naman sa gitna.. sana maging on time naman ung mga train yung sobrang punctual.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

yung mga mahilig tumambay sa pinto pero maluwag sa gitna... mga walang confidence sa sarili yan, naiilang sa tao, ayaw mapuna/mapansin ng iba... mga taong masarap balyahin pag papasok ka kasi nakaharang.. :grr: buti na lang gud boy ako at di ko dinadaan sa laki ng katawan... :hypocritesmiley:

[jopoc]

bakit yung mga guards ng MRT nasa taas ng hagdan nakaabang? pagkatapos mong akyatin yung matataas na hagdan, pag dating mo, reject ka dahil me dala ka na hindi nila gusto. sana naman, sa baba ng hagdan sila mag abanag.

 

marami na akong nakita na ganyan. naaawa ako sa mga nirereject.

[xhalaguena]

Either LRT or MRT the service is good, but the rules they have now...come on! But I guess they made the rules for a reason. Whats really irritating is the other passengers...which is why i guess they made the rules they have now.

[don_juan+]

ako di ako pabor na paghiwalayin yung male and female...

god made adam for eve and eve for adam... pinag sama nya sila... at di pinag hiwalay...

Same with me. When I stay in Makati, I take MRT up to QC daily, since I think it's a much better alternative to taking a taxi. But when I stay in Malate, I take LRT down to EDSA station, and change over to MRT to go up to QC. I find that LRT cars are cleaner and better kept than MRT cars. LRT is normally not as crowded, and I find it safer also. Just keep your wits about you, and you don't have to worry about pickpockets. I haven't been victimized yet.

[TheGeneral]

The trams are very convenient to use although the MRT is a li'l crowded. I wish they could add more cars.

[Cainam09]

mrt is the best way

[Cainam09]

mrt

[Kuya!]

yes, more cars, since the first car is exclusively for women, they should add another car to compensate for the crowded cars alotted for men

[soldati]

First of all if it werent for the LRT then i would have wasted thousands of pesos worth of gas money. Its fast and airconditioned. The thing is they need bigger cars. Everytime i ride its always hella crowded. I hate it though when people stand right in front of you or right behind you. its hella messed up. or the times when the aircon in the cars is busted (its happend to me 3 times na and ive only been down here for a year).

[lapongga]

I've been riding these trains for the longest time. At first it was LRT, Php1.50 pa lang yata ang token nung mga panahon na yon. Nung una ok kasi aircon tapos mabilis. Fast forward....ngayon ang LRT ang pinakabulok, pinakamabaho ang pinaka ill maintained of all the air con train systems. I seriously think that yung pang maintenance nito eh kinukurakot ng mga opisyal nila.

 

Then came the MRT, hulog ng langit para sa mga pasaherong bumibiyahe ng EDSA. Super lamig nung una..super bilis din. Kaso sobrang sikip nung train itself for starters. Plus the fact that nasa EDSA to so ito ang pinakamaraming commuters kaya talagang masikip. Ngayon, lagi tumitirik. I remember one time tumirik to tapos the head of MRT management, former police chief lastimoso was interviewed by reporters kung ano dahilan bakit lagi tumitirik ang MRT. Sigawan ba naman yung reporter ng "Eh ayos na nga di ba!!! Umaandar na...ano pa ba problema?!?!?" That's the head honcho speaking right there..so it does not come as a surprise kung bakit ganyan na ang condition ng MRT.

 

And then there came LRT2, the one that almost took a decade to construct....i mean...nauna pa ito sa MRT gawin pero tumatakbo na MRT hindi pa rin tapos ang LRT2...but was the wait worth it? I honestly think so. The LRT2 is more spacious than its predecessors....the A/C is stronger...you have guards roaming around all the time (inside the trains, even while in motion), smoother ride, time controlled departure and arrival of trains (with some delay at times), cleaner stations and trains. And surprisingly LRT2 does not have ticket windows except for senior citizens and stored value buyers but the lines in getting a ticket is really manageable because you are buying from a machine. Medyo bago pa ang LRT2, I just hope that they can maintain the good points of this train service.

 

Things I hate about these trains:

 

1. Guards, unreasonable most of the time. I can understand and support security measures but some guards are out of this world in terms of rationality..hehe

 

2. special coaches for women...i mean i can understand old people and women with children...but for strong and healthy women (im sorry to say this but...those who push people inside the trains are mostly women..based upon my experience)? I don't think we need special coaches for women per se, kala ko ba sabi nila men and women are equal? kung naiinis sila sa mga manyak na lalake...pde rin sila maging manyak at manghipo....being a pervert is not about your gender...

 

3. Skyscraper stairs - whoooaaaa, some stations have stairs that reach up to heaven that the mere thought of climbing (ergo SCALING) them is already a workout in itself. hehehehe

 

 

4. Availability of Stored value cards - this i don't understand...why do they run out of stored value tickets all the time....the way i see it...their stored value tickets should be sold everywhere to decongest their stations of people lining up for these stored value tickets.

 

 

 

Overall, these trains have problems but they save you a lot of time (unless tumirik) and time is money!!! Let's hope they keep their good practices and improve on the other areas of improvement they have.

[Justiin13]

yung ticket system pala ng LRT hindi ko alam kung bakit parang ang bagal nila magbenta. kahit na exact fare na 15 pesos ang bagal parin tapos paminsan maabutan mo pa na nag chichikahan lang yung loob at hindi pinapansin yung bibili ng ticket

[Kuya!]

pakiusap lang sa mga babae sa MRT, dun kayo sa car alotted for you.

siksikan na kaming mga lalaki sa likod
