Unforgettable Experiences Riding The Mrt

Yung para lang makasakay ka, you chose to ride even the coed train. Kahit na ba andun yung possibility na madikit sa opposite sex yung body mo. Naco-conscious pa naman ako coz of my big butt, kaya ang hirap. Para lang makasakay ka na. That's why I back out pag puno, unless I have my partner with me.

 

Then pagsakay mo, may bitbit ka, sa sobrang sikip naka-outstretch na yung arms mo and hindi mo na alam kung saan napunta yung iba mong hawak na stuff. Para lang talaga makasakay.

Yeah it's awful isn't it? I stopped using the MRT more than two years ago when I just couldn't get into any of the trains because they were all full. Thing is, one of the train's cars was half empty so I tried getting inside. The guard stopped me saying the car was reserved for women.

 

Isn't this discrimination? There are bad guys who take advantage of women aboard the mrt. Is reserving one of the cars solely for women's use the answer to this problem? Not from my point of view. The answer is to arrest the offending male who took advantage of a particular female aboard the mrt. Make sure he goes to jail to teach the guy a lesson. Thing is, decent guys are barred from riding one of the cars even if the train is extremely full while the one reserved for females is only half empty.

 

Discrimination is what it is.

Di naman discrimination. You know naman how some females overly react pag may nadikit na opposite sex sa kanila. Yun lang din ang resolution. Not just for females, but for the elders and pregnant too yung section.

 

I think they really lack trains to accommodate passengers. Esp. in this growing population.

nakatulog ung katabi kong chick, then ung ulo niya biglang pumatong sa shoulders ko. not really that pretty pero she's kinda sexy, she was wearing a fitted sando kasi. ok na sana, nang biglang napansin ko tumutulo na pala laway niya! napamura ako then nagising siya bigla. English speaking pa ang loka. "I'm really sorry Sir. really really sorry." ako naman super gentleman, ok lang sabi ko sa kanya. same pala ung station na bababaan namin, sa may Ayala. so she treated me ice cream sa Mcdo, and asked her number. unfortunately, ayaw niya, pero she gave me her FB account. after that naging good friends naman kami sa FB. dun ko na lang tinanung num niya, and the rest is history. ;)

If I'm with my gf or with a female balikbayan who's not familiar with Metro Manila in general and the MRT in particular, what happens now? She gets to ride in the all-female car and I get to ride in the co-ed car? How do I tell my balikbayan friend it's time to get off the train since we're in different cars?

 

And for the sake of argument, what if my mom, who's old and frail rides the all-female car. Who's going to look after her if I'm not allowed in that car?

 

Now again, for argument's sake, I'm with my old and frail mom and I tell the guard I need to be in the same car as her and he lets me in. Multiply me by other guys with their pregnant wives, girlfriends, mothers, aunts, elder sisters, grandmothers, etc. So the security guard will now allow guys to board the all-female car as long as they're accompanied by a female needing assistance?

 

I'm sorry but I think this is simply ridiculous. An example of a government (or quasi government) idea that wasn't thought through properly.

 

I still say, punish the offending males. Guys should be deemed innocent of any mal-intent until proven otherwise.

 

As it is, there just aren't enough trains to serve the huge volume of commuters.And then they're going to reserve one of these for females? Not only is this preposterous. It's downright discrimnatory. Reminds one of segregation in the United States in the 50's where certain parts of a train or bus were reserved for colored (African Americans) and another section reserved for white folk. Just interchange the word "RACE" for "GENDER" and that's exactly what we now have in the MRT.

It's like the MRT management pesumes that ALL men are guilty of lascivious/aberrant behavior, thus barring them from riding one particular car in the train. Sure there may be sexual criminals who take advantage of women within the tight confines of the trains. But how many of them are there? I would imagine just a small minority. Why penalize all men for the deviant behavior of this small minority? Why not just imprison these men instead? That's what they do in other countries.

Males can ride the female coach if you are accompanying a kid/kids, an elderly , a PWD or a pregnant woman. But if you are with an able female you will be asked to take the sardine like coed coach.

OT: I was pushed all the way back in the middle of the train and when it was my turn to get off i had a hard time squeezing my way out and i missed my stop. The warning chime buzzed the door closed and i was still inside. I have to get off at the next station, got out but was looking like I was in a cat fight and was late for my appointment. As a lesson, i dont take a seat unless im getting off at the last station and i usually stay near the exit door and position myself out 3 stations before my destination.

That surely make a lot of sense. Too bad you had to learn the hard way. Hope you weren't too inconvenienced making your way back to the station you missed.

i was inside the train already when we stopped at shaw. a usual crowded rush hour, when a pregnant lady riding was ranting "put*ng in* niyo may buntis dito!" (she was really squeezed in between) "hoy ano ba! puneta!" she was ranting. suddenly an old man butted in "eh tanga ka pala eh bat ka sumakay dito! dun ka sa kabila!". then silence. the lady was so embarrassed at the same time angry, that you could see it in her face that she wanted to hit the man but she knew that she was wrong. on the other side you see can people hiding their chuckles even i was hiding mine.

 

it was funny!. i think both had a bad day. yung buntis, siempre hormones yun kaya siya ganun. yung lalaki, matanda na galing siguro sa trabahao kaya ganun. :)
