More buses, please

From Neraca

Being a public transportation commuter, I do not object to drivers of Patas air-conditioned buses taking on more passengers than the seating capacity, especially in the morning.

I feel that penalties taken against the bus drivers or companies will severely affect commuters.

I do not mean to defend the bus owners, I am actually speaking up for myself. If these buses are not permitted to operate, I, and a host of other commuters, will be facing problems getting to the office in the morning.

I believe that the government should make more air-conditioned buses available. If there are ample buses, transportation problems will be eased.
