sharing this wholesome encounter with an angkas rider

definitely my fault for double booking and not canceling earlier - late ko na rin napansin na dalawa pala yung nag-accept from different apps. so i told the angkas rider to complete the booking na lang para hindi sayang yung pagpunta nya sa location ko.

instead of asking me to cancel, he canceled the ride himself after i offered that. i still sent a little something to his gcash para sa abala.

wala lang. i've had my fair share of experience when it comes to riders na nagpapacancel kasi nasiraan ng gulong, gutom na, uuwi na, etc. this was just refreshing to see. <3

Angkas Experience

This is the first time I’ve encountered something like this. I was at the mall yesterday and decided to book an Angkas to go home, I booked and immediately thought I need to go to Waltermart so I cancelled and rebooked after changing the destination— to which a rider immediately accepted. The ride was okay, he was talking to me but I barely understood a thing cause the helmet squishes my ears. Anyway, I got off at Waltermart and removed the helmet, said my thanks to which Kuya Rider answered ‘ingat ka ha’ I said thanks again and said ‘kayo din po’, it’s not an unusual occurrence for me as I often say ‘ingat po’ to riders/ drivers. But when I got inside Watson’s (there’s one beside Waltermart), I received this text from the rider and was immediately alarmed/ weirded out. Now maybe he meant well, but at that moment I did not feel safe to walk out of Watson’s cause I’m alone and it’s already around 7:30PM. I’m not even sure if I should feel what I felt but I had to ask a family if I can walk out with them and pretend they’re my family cause I was really scared and I didn’t know if the rider is still waiting for me outside or what. Anyway, I guess what I really want to ask is, was I wrong if I felt unsafe kahit na the ride itself was okay naman and is it right to report this to Angkas? 🥲

Beware of this angkas rider

Nagbook ako kanina ng angkas around 5:30. From manila to santolan pasig

Wala pang 30 mins sana yung byahe ko kaso nakipag talo pa tong rider na to sakin. Sinabi nya na mas mabilis daw pag sa bridgetown dumaan, pero ako na everyday nagbbook ng ride for work, alam ko na mas mabilis sa edsa so sabi ko mag edsa kami.

Pero di sya nakinig dumetso parin sya pa bridgetown. Nakita ko yung eta sa maps nya na from 14 mins nalang naging 24 mins pa. Nung ni-call out ko yung eta inalis nya yung maps sa phone nya.

Dun palang nainis na ko, sa dami ng stoplight at traffic na nadaaan namin. Ilang beses ko pa sya sinabihan na umikot nalang kami para mas mabilis yung byahe kasi late na ko sa work ko dahil sa kanya pero wala talaga.

Then around bridgetown central park, may fun run pa pala. So mas traffic. Then eto pa, binangga nya yung isang organizer sa fun run, yung leg ko pa mismo yung bumangga sa organizer.

Inis na inis na ko sabi ko igilid nya na at baba na ko.

Pag check ko sa app to report this guy sana. May cancel option pa, meaning di sya nag change status na nag start na yung ride.

Sabi nung isang nakausap ko na rider modus daw to ng ibang rider para walang cut yung angkas sa fare mo. Tapos wala pang liability si angkas kasi nga sa system nila walang ride na nangyari. So wala rin insurance or whatnot

Ngayon hirap ako ireport tong hayop na to since wala sa history yung ride since canceled nga.

Edit: Also, okay naman yung organizer I think since napa atras lang naman sya sa impact.

GAHAMAN NA JR RIDERS

Sobrang gahaman ng mga Mototaxi Riders at yung tawag nilang DISKARTE MINDSET.

Nakakabwiset dahil nakalagay sa app is 259 lang, tapos pag dating ng nanay ko. I rerecalculate daw nya yung fare? Huh? As if naman pwede mong gawin yun?

Tapos nagpadagdag ng 70 pesos kasi nawala daw sya at hindi nya nahanap yung pin. Edi pumayag na ung nanay ko.

TAPOS SUSUNOD NAG REQUEST PA NG 100 NA DAW IDAGDAG, Dinagdagan nalang namin kasi sabi ng nanay ko ang daming sinasabi na kung ano ano.

Nakakainis sobra na ang garapal magrequest, okay naman sana magdagdag pero bakit napaka demanding? Bakit di magantay na magdagdag magisa ung pasahero. Tapos sasabihin lumalaban lang ng patas.

Kung tingin nyo di kayo binabayadan ng living wage ng companya nyo wag nyong gawin. Wag nyong ibuntong yung galit nyo sa commuters/passengers. Sobrang nakakagigil lang.

First time ko makita sarili ko na magalit na dumating sa point na makikipag-suntukan ako. Ganito yung nangyari.

Sumakay ako sa cubao pa bayan marikina. Nagbayad ako ng 17 pesos, alam ko na 17 pesos kasi binilang ko ng dalawang beses. Pagkadating sa provident village yung driver may hinihintay daw na bumaba kasi 15 lang daw ang binayad. Sa sarili ko confident ako na hindi ako yun kasi 17 pesos ang binayad ko, tinanong ng asawa (kundoktor) nya kung sino ang nagbayad ng 15 pesos, tinuro ako ng driver ang kapal daw ng mukha ko.

Pinaliwanag ko sakanya na 17 pesos ang binayad ko tatlong lima tapos dalawang piso, pero pinipilit nya na kulang daw at 15 lang ang binayad ko. Sumenyas yung asawa nya na ok na hayaan na pero inulit ko 17 pesos ang binayad ko tapos tumigil na ako hindi na ako nagsalita. Pero yung driver ang dami pang sinasabi totoo daw na 15 lang ang binayad ko.

Tapos dumating na sa bayan marikina sa 7/11 palang pinababa na nya ako, nag-init ako bigla dahil hindi duon yung tamang babaan sa bayan marikina. Hinabol ko sya sinabihan ko na ayusin nya buhay nya, bigla nyang sinabi na 18 pesos ang cubao to bayan. Sinigawan ko sya ng bobo sa sobrang galit ko tapos bumaba sya at naghahamon ng suntukan. Hindi ako umurong o tumakbo hinihintay ko sya na sumuntok pero puro amba lang ginawa nya. Sumakay ulit sya at umalis.

17 pesos yung binayad ko dahil total of 5.8km ang cubao to bayan. 14 pesos para sa 4kms at 3pesos para sa 1.8km.

Overloading Bus and Ejeep

Just a rant. Hopefully nakikita ng LTO or LTFRB tong mga to lalo na around galleria. Not only is this unhygienic, for safety din na hindi dapat ganto. Last time I checked 62+2 lng maximum capacity ng ganyang gliner bus but when I counted nung nasa loob pa ako 90+ pinagkasya nila. Nung nagreklamo ako nagalit pa konduktor and sinabihan akong bumaba na lang kung maarte.

Transpo Modernization Study made by World Bank for Iloilo

18 Upvotes

Sharing a study na nakita ko made by world bank about modernizing Iloilo's transpo system. Una its backed up ng technical analysis. First they made the necessary mappings, next they listed the cons of the current system to the point na napansin din nila na madalas mag cutting trip mga jeeps.

May comparison din sa ibang cities na modernized na yung transpo system para maintindihan ng stakeholders gaano na tayo naiwan. Plus why "libreng sakay" costs more in the long run.

Hopefully they do a similar study made for Metro Manila and this gets implemeted sa Iloilo. Sadly nakikita ko na sa soc med the usual jeepney groups are trying to block the proposed modernization.

Pumapasok mga tao papasok ng train(LRT/MRT) habang may lumalabas

50 Upvotes

Nung nasa Japan ako, specifically Osaka, siksikan rin katulad sa LRT/MRT. Pero pinapauna muna lumabas yung mga nasa train bago pumasok mga tao, kaya maayos yung flow.

Eh sa LRT/MRT, sabay sabay mga pumapasok at lumalabas, at daming tao rin sumisingit papasok ng train. Kaya ayun, di ako nakalabas ng train sa station kung saan dapat ako bababa.

Wala ba talaga disiplina karamihan sa Filipino when it comes to this??

Actually sabi ng tracker nadito na raw sa gate 9 halos ngayon, wala parin. Kasi sabi ng isang konduktor, bigla bigla nalang silang aarangkada kapag walang sumasakay. Hindi ko alam kung ung driver nagpapahinga o ano.

Maingay at madaldal na pasahero

2 Upvotes

Nakakainis yung mga pinoy na nakikipagdaldalan ng malakas na parang sila lang yung pasahero sa buong bus, eroplano, tren, etc. Imbes na makapagpahinga ng maayos ang mga pagod galing trabaho, biyahe o kung ano man ang dahilan ng kapaguran nila, nagpapaepal tung mga pinoy na maiingay kung makipagkwentuhan.

They should remember na bawat tao may space and that should be respected by simply lowering their voice.

Pwede naman makipagkwentuhan na kayo kayo lang e, di na parang iparinig niyo sa buong mundo ang mga pinag-uusapan niyo as if ganun siya kaimportante.

Have some respect sa space ng commuters guys. Nakakaumay na kasi ang mga ugaling ganyan, feeling bida-bida.

Imagine a train station connected to the largest land port in the country tapos super kitid ng turnstile entrance and exit. Who designed such naman di ba? Di pinag-isipan or tinipid?

As a commuter na nagbabayad ng more than enough na fare tapos ganito lang yung serbisyo na narereceive natin? Ano na LRTA administration? 🥲

OA lang ba ako? ("Creepy" Commute Incident)

2 Upvotes

Hi, F26. Using tourism PH as a flair kasi it involves commute??? I really don't know.

First time ko lang mag popost dito sa subreddit na to mainly because I don't have anyone else to talk to about it (when I opened it to a friend, I was shut down immediately). Maybe I'm just looking for external validation or if di naman pala big deal ok lang rin at least I was able to share the whole thing that happened.

So it was a normal Tuesday for me. Commute ko is MRT from Boni to Edsa (Taft Ave). I got at Boni station around 4:30 PM. I rode sa general area and a guy (let's call him "Kuya") was in front of me who offered to let me in the train first. When we got inside the train - standing kaming mga bagong pasok tapos kami ni Kuya e magkatalikuran. Along the way kinalabit nya ako kasi naging empty na yung seat sa harap nya.. Ako naman since excited na makauwi e umupo naman ako. Everything was okay and a few stations in, magkatabi na kami ni Kuya. I thought nothing of it, until makarating sa Edsa (last station).

All MRT commuters know na pag nakaupo na and nasa last station ka bababa, it's kinda an unspoken rule minsan we wait for the train to clear out bago bumaba - and that's what I did. It's when I noticed Kuya not entirely moving and still comfortably sitting beside me. At this point, 5 nalang kami sa train. Ako naman inayos ko na bag ko tapos si Kuya biglang tumayo and walked outside. I got creeped out kasi parang saktong sakto after ko ayusin bag ko saka sya tumayo. Kaya dahil dun, I walked slowly behind him. I put distance between us bago makarating sa escalator. May dalawang tao sa pagitan namin. I saw Kuya look behind him tapos napa double look sya nung napansin nya yung tao sa likod nya. Na-creepyhan ako nung parang naging alert sya tapos he started looking around behind him tapos nung nag tama na paningin namin - he held eye contact with me hanggang makarating sa taas ng escalator.

Habang papunta sa turnstiles, ang bagal nya parin maglakad so ako since may beep card ako dun nalang ako sa other side nag tap. Pero ewan ko, for some reason nagkasabay parin kami. Now, for people who get off at MRT Edsa Taft you know na pag labas mo sa station, there are 3 ways. Left - papunta sa mga bus station, Straight - papunta LRT 2, Right - pa metropoint. Ang way ko ay pa-left. Kami ni kuya pabagalan parin kami maglakad (like people behind us are getting annoyed). I think he "gave up" and looked at me for the last time and let out a LOUD "TSK" then went to the right (pa-Metropoint).

So ayun, I don't know what I was actually looking for here sa pag-post. Feeling ko naman ay I was just overreacting and overthinking. If that was the case, okay lang at least ma-assure ako na wala lang yun. It just felt good to actually get it off my chest first.

Thank you!

Mandurukot!!

SHARING FOR AWARENESS. (True Story)

Kanina naglalakad ako sa overpass sa Pasay tapos may batang lumapit sakin. Mejo walang tao. Dalawa lang kami tapos may dalawang batang lalaki na i think around 13 or 14 na namamalimos. Yung lumapit sakin naka cover sa braso nya yung damit nya so di mo kita yung buong braso, Tapos kinukulit nya ko nanghihingi sya ng pera di nya ko tinitigilan. So yung attention ko nandun sa pangungulit nya. Tapos yun pala yung isa nyang kamay pala dinudukot na yung cellphone ko sa bulsa ko. Buti yung pants ko masikip so hindi nya nakuha kasi ako nga di ko din basta mabunot ung cellphone ko eh. Sa sobrang inis ko dahil kinukulit nya ko plus kinukuha nya yung cellphone ko. Sinampal ko sya. Tapos sbi ko "PI ka. Magnanakaw ka!". Nagulat sya tapos ako din tapos umalis nako, naglakad ako ng mabilis kasi nabigla din ako eh and natakot ako na baka yung mga nakatambay na lalaki na mejo much older eh kasabwat nya. Wala naman humabol sakin. Pero nagmamadali ako bumaba ng overpass at sumakay ng jeep. 😭

Pero let this be a lesson, na kahit nasan tayo tapos di mo inaayos sarili mo. Masasampal talaga kita!!

Kidding aside, this is the time of the year na naglalabasan nanaman yung mga mandurukot / snatcher so please extra ingat po tayo. 🙏🥹
