Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo was earlier heavily criticized for denying there’s a mass transport crisis.Prior to Biazon’s appeal, Transportation Undersecretary Timothy John Batan repeatedly refused to answer directly when he was asked at the meeting if the National Capital Region, indeed, is suffering from a transportation or mobility crisis.“Our current investment in mass transportation is probably bigger than what we’ve invested in the last two decades put together,” he said.
The existence of a crisis in transportation was first pointed out by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan secretary general Renato Reyes who concluded that a mass transport crisis is upon Metro Manila following the grounding of MRT 3 and LRT 1 due to different mechanical issues. Another mass transport system, LRT 2, was paralyzed after a fire destroyed a piece of electrical equipment called power rectifier. LRT 2 is operating only partially now.
Sa tingin ko walang mass transpo crisis. Crisis sa disiplina ng mga drivers at pasahero meron. Kung may disiplina lang po tayong lahat eh magiging maayos ang trapiko. At kung hindi naman kalayuan ang pupuntahan, maglakad na lamang. Wag tamad at maarte.
