...but I am not feeling the vibes to travel today by bus. Recently, there were road accidents involving buses. The most recent was the accident in the EXPWY going north that killed 10 people some were kids on the way to a camp. The bus company's operation is now suspended for 30 days. Total of 270 buses are suspended. This bus is my go-to bus every office day.

How do you go to work if the bus is not available?

@LadyDuck I think I am going to like the bus company called Victory Liner, not the first time trying to travel with them.

Philippines has been through a lot this year. I don't get why there's so many accidents involving cars and the like nowadays. I left the Philippines last year and it is depressing hearing negative news every day.

I think this is because of the driver's attitude on the road. Most of the time they are impatient.

@jobelbojel If I am not mistaken, fixers are also back. Getting a driver's license tend to be much easier and with regards to the portal, anyone can just answer it on behalf of someone else. The drivers' attitudes are also concerning. Road rage and brutalities became rampant nowadays.

Was your bus one of the ones suspended for 30 days? How do you go to work if you can't ride the bus?

I heard about that tragic incident as well. It was devastating for the two cars caught between the bus and the truck. While the bus sustained less damage, the casualties came from the cars. The responsibility for this incident likely lies with the bus company and possibly the driver. The bus company is at fault for neglecting the welfare of their drivers by failing to provide partner drivers, leaving them overworked and forced to drive long distances without relief. The driver may also be to blame for continuing to drive despite being unfit to do so and failing to maintain proper control of the vehicle.

That's another problem. For the mistake of one person, the whole community will suffer.

That's correct. But that's the way it is to discipline them - they suspended the entire company.

Why don't you rent a space near your workplace to avoid a midhso. It's not good to work doing a long travel. That could be stressful
