Buses with New Model Route system<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
I commend the PPD city bus company's introduction of its New
\nModel Route (RMB) on its Patas AC buses. It has been found to be
\neffective in discouraging drivers to fill their buses with too
\nmany passengers and to drive recklessly in the city's traffic.<\/p>\n
The drivers of the ordinary buses usually have to earn as much
\nmoney as they can in order to pay the daily rental fee. That is
\nwhy these drivers race around picking up as many passengers as
\npossible.<\/p>\n
The maintenance cost under this system is much less because
\nthe drivers do not over work their buses.<\/p>\n
Newspaper and TV reports often say that the company is
\nsuffering a great operational loss. However, this does not make
\nsense to me because a great number of people still badly need its
\nservice. I never see any of its buses empty. I am sure the
\ncompany must have made a profit.<\/p>\n
I would like to voice my support for the new system, but I
\nbelieve this system still needs some improvements.<\/p>\n
For example, many people still say that the method of paying
\nthe fare is not practical because not all the passengers have the
\nexact change of Rp 1,300. It would be better to compel the
\npassengers to buy tickets or special coins instead of inserting
\nthe cash directly into the box.<\/p>\n
There are several advantages to this idea. First, the
\npassengers will not bother other people for small change and
\nsecond, it will prevent the drivers from pocketing the cash.<\/p>\n
