Bitaw lisod jud kay needed ug 2 lanes para sa BRT Bus .. duda ko mahuman ning projecka 2030 pa ... unsaon nalang nang mga establishments naa daplin sa karsada ... kulangon nang 10B siguro para sa just compensation .. tino-ig raba ang kaso ana labi na ang tag-iya sa properties gahi kaau mo demand raba nag ug dagko pud kaau ....

Wala diay ni labot during sa assessment period?

Nindot pud unta kun iminimize nalang pud ang jeep ky murag daghan napud kaayo ang jeep, basin inag abot sa BRT mag hout napud unya ky tungod sa jeep. Mag hari napud ang jeep ky alakansi na cla ky ang BRT barato ra sa kay sa jeep. Kun mahimo ang mga jeepney driver or public drivers ky icontrol nalang sa government unta ky pra ang driver nka discipline like every month naa bah sila mga trainings abouts sa road or like basta knang ma avoid lang mga bad attitudes sa mga public drivers. Investan lang pud unta sa government, then kn mahimo pud ang jeepneys ky atleast lang safe sakyan ug nindot pud unta igo lang mka attract sa tourist ug mka tabang. Basin inag abot sa BRT maghout ky tungod aning jeepneys, murag dako2x raba na mga buss kasagaran. Kani pud unta mga electric wires or cables sa streets ky ipa ilawum nalang pud unta or ihan-ay nila ky kani raba uban buss sa BRT ky naay taas, basin mga sangit inag agi sa colon. Ang streets pud oh, naa unta maintenance like naay mo check daily pra ma spalto dayun.
I'm excited of the BRT, ang cebu mura na ug DUBAI Yahooo!!!! Mka laag nako basta2x kay barato na pletehan. hehe

yes fafi. this is very good news for the cebuanos. but with regards to the road expansion and the construction ahead, well, we already experienced that Road Widening during the 90's, it was damn super traffic, but when it was done, the road has finally breathed. but for sure there will be collateral damages on this like many drivers having a hard time getting their quotas and other problems, but at least, the citizens will have options on transportation.


i don't want to shoot a political gun, but how can i not react with Rama's statement



mao nay tawag na DAWAT-LIMPYO. EVERYONE man gyud. bisan cya walay labot sa paninguha ani. i have to say thanks to Tomas Osmena for his visions for our city ....

Hello sad Fafi Mar hehehe

Well like any growing city there are sacrifices that need to be done , and I know its easier said than done and its harder for those citizens that are actually displaced but , points are one , if its not their land to claim then one knew progress was bound to happen and yes it is for the good of many.

Mao Ming , hopefully we get a clear plan on how they move forward on this big project.

On someone mentioning attitude:

I think its okay to be a skeptic and play devils advocate as we haven't had a big project like this. But the first political hurdle at least is being addressed and that is National Government spending for other regions , for the longest time we've talked about National Capital getting all the infrastructure its nice to see it spread to other regions. While this seem to be a bold move , understanding our economics , this was bound to happen as government need to spend in order to further increase our good economy.

yes, just yes .. mura ragud ug KMK but more routes and more trips

dili unta i disregard ang safety kung ma implement nani like overloading, etc.

[FAQ]

While this is certainly good news , they have to address the obvious problems. 1 - expanding our roads , while it is nice to see parts of cebu asphalted and cemented , I can't see a BRT with the roads we have ( and the challenge of expanding , relocation of people along roads i.e. Capitol area wc is taking forever , etc. ) , 2 - While I celebrate the BRT system , I can't imagine PUJs accepting displacement as a feeder service , and say we clear the major bus routs , if we dump all the Pujs on the exterior doesn't that cause major traffic into bus areas? So do we lessen Puj's as BRT system will open jobs. There are a lot of questions needing answers , hopefully we get plan that addresses this and more..

I totally agree that as part of this project, expanding city roads and repair is a must. In some busy routes, there should be a BUS LANE (usually on the far right of the road). Ban PUJs in bus routes, and strictly enforce on limited PUJs and they should only be operating sa mga sudlonon. Limit on pedicab and trisikad as well. I know that it's difficult for most of them losing their living, but I think we should make a decision if we really want to move forward.

It would be a logical choice to prioritize PUJ drivers to apply for the BRT driver position. Those who are well-qualified (less traffic violations, not alcoholic, good attitude, and etc) cuz we want our commuters safe.

As for fares, commuters can only pay via tokens, if not electronic wallet where commuters can load their money to different denomination or subscribe for a weekly pass or monthly pass. If they have to take another bus to reach their destination, they can have a transfer ticket or the electronic wallet that would be good for 2 hours and so they wouldn't be charged for taking another bus in that time period.

It's a lot of work to implement, but Philippines are heading to a good direction.

Wala diay ni labot during sa assessment period?

Naa mana sir .. social impact management man daw tawag ana nila ... ang blema ana mahuman kaha ang kaso ana ingon ana kadali sa mga property owner nga magpagahi, unya maau lang ug isa ang involved puerting daghana ... nag kasagaran nahibaw-an nako ani mangayo ug mas dako pa sa Assessment Value ang property owner maapiktohan diha na maguday ang kaso kay ang goberno dili man pud na mohatag dayon sa gusto.

Duda lang ko dili na mahuman ug 2017 .... dugay naman ni, si Pnoy lang gi agad, karon pa ning approved nga hapit na election ... last 2 minutes ....

Pero hinoon sa side ni Pnoy naa siya reason gi delay na niya kay its not feasible in cebu tungod anang issue sa Right of Way .. kay ug kanang existing road ra gamiton makuhaan ug 2 ka lane mosamot ka traffic ... assuming walay road widening.

"He said the government would have to face right-of-way issues as well as the possibility of historical sites getting affected with its construction."

Mao na supak siya anang BRT gusto ni Pnoy MRT ... nga mao jud dapat unta ....
