Do you think it's unfair that oil prices has gone down and jeepney, bus and taxi fare are still the same? Do you think riding a cab is safe here in the Philippines? So far I would say that it has been safe from me. However, I try to lessen cab rides because it cost too much. Have you tried riding a ordinary bus? The good thing about it is that when there is no traffic you'll be in you destination is now time. What do you think?

I watched last night on the news that they are planning a decrease in transportation fare on December... but i think it should be earlier than that... i only ride a cab when i do not know how to get to the place where i am suppose to go... and good thing most cab drivers i encountered were nice people... i rarely take the bus... since i prefer to just ride the MRT or LRT... faster that way...

I agree with you on that. With the prices of all commodities going down, I think fare should also go down.

So far, riding a jeep for me is also safe, like for example whenever I go home late and I knew the place where I will be coming from is some sort of crowded or is still alive, I would take the jeep instead of a taxi because I feel secure knowing there are people around.
