The haste to restrict the mobility of ordinary Filipinos - victims of a broken transport system, is unjustified. What requires urgent attention is redesign for more inclusive infrastructure and the proper implementation of the PUV Modernization Program.

It’s distressing that focus is on disrupting transport supply. Regardless of a strike, ordinary Filipino commuters suffer every day.

It’s time to sit down for an earnest discussion on our transport problems. Both the government and the transport sector owe it to the public.

We should designate April as Commuter Oppression Awareness Month

28MAR: Suspension of PNR
APR24: Restrictions on e-PMDs
30APR: PUVMP Consolidation Deadline

Resharing this as we observe the first National Bike to Work Day. But back to normal programming: Proper infrastructure, intelligent enforcement, and the Philippine Bicycle Act #CommutersNaman

Taking a step back; planned restrictions on e-trikes reveal very fundamental MMDA issues:

1. Selective public consultation
2. Car-centricity
3. Punitive and restrictive

We need a leadership that promotes participatory governance and inclusive policies.

Between government and protesters, it’s not a contest of who’s better at stranding ordinary commuters. Let’s stick to the issues: Consolidation is important; just as important, addressing shortcomings in the modernization program.

Leadership is crucial: Establishments are more accommodating to bikers when at least one staff bikes to work.

Mobility has been under increased attack this week and we are surely in need of better leaders.

The value of the recent Social Weather Stations survey is that it sets the baseline for number of bikers - the challenge to MMDA and DOTr now is to make sure that it goes up from here; Any dip is a failure.

LTFRB: There’s enough supply of jeepneys; oversupply in some areas

AltMobility’s statement post-implementation of the consolidation deadline:

No commuter must suffer; No transport worker left without a livelihood.

There needs to be a shift in MMDA’s mindset as a development authority - towards progressive policies to improve mobility for all; ones that promote efficient and sustainable modes of transport.

Maraming salamat, Doris Bigornia, Alvin Elchico, at Radyo 630

Based on MMDA’s own Road Traffic Incident Report, at least 19/23 or 83% of incidents within an 8-hour period involve private cars. What is data collection for if it will not inform decisions?

Extra: Outdated POV reflected in the continued use of “accidents” and not “crashes.”

Evidence and public opinion does not support the MMDA ban on e-trikes, other LEVs, PMDs. So why is it seemingly easy for Government Officials to turn a blind eye to the needs of their constituents, ordinary Filipinos? #CommutersNaman

Thank you, Cheryl Cosim and TV5

anyare? The absence of the public is perplexing; it’s not the traffic summit we had hoped for from the President. But we do hope this is just the beginning of the process. A shame as April 10th, a non-working day, could have allowed more people to participate #CommutersNaman

A good week-ender: The President should designate DOTr as the lead Agency and direct it to involve advocacy groups and CSOs, and transport industry reps; the plan should be commuter-oriented - focusing on the needs of ordinary Filipino commuters above all else #CommutersNaman

This is the real effect of the PNR closure that the Government failed to consider: Longer commutes, additional expense. Add the plight of app 1,000 employees of PNR #CommutersNaman

I'm glad that DOTr is doing this. I'm massively surprised this wasn't a standard practice before. #CommutersNaman
