Tutubi's issues and concerns

It would be better if they also solve last mile problem from Glorietta to Ayala Avenue (probably near Paseo de Roxas) as this can walked of transfer to derepit buses plying the Ayala/Leveriza route?

How about premium buses from BGC, MRT, Ayala (or Buendia) to LRT and even up to SM Mall of Asia?
this solves the inconvenience of commuting from BGC to Makati CBD which usually takes a taxi ride?
Government don't know this because they don't take public transportation

If they can fix the MRT to be efficient, connect it to LRT 1 at SM North/Trinoma then have another convenient link to Ortigas CBD (sort of loop service) and to BGC, I will really leave my car at home but for now-- it's a BIG NO!

to really professionalize and make efficient public transportation, buses drivers and conductors must be paid fixed and decent wages, same with jeepney drivers and remove the medieval boundary system. This way, drivers can load/unload only at designated stops, won't engage in racing, won't linger at corners and be more disciplined too
