    When I drive through Duma Town, which I try and avoid as much as possible, I often wonder how all the Tricycle drivers/owners can make a living, due to the huge number of them on the roads, and so many of them are without passengers, keenly looking for a fare ?:confused:

    I just read the fares are to stay at 6.50p its seems a big drop from 8.5p but some power to be must have factored in the drop in the price of fuel and came up with with that figure. there seems to many of them on the road maybe a 2 number system with some licensed to run on the hwy. some side street. Or would a odds n even number system work alternate days working . Any how this will all blow over and we will go back to more of the same

    :confused: As these things do Alex but one has to wonder if they will now overload to a very, very, dangerous capacity to try and make up the difference, I have to sit and smile and cringe even, as I view passengers on the roof in my minds eye as we see on some of the larger Jeepneys and other Transport:wacky:

    Take a look next time you take a trip to mabinay,the road from bais up the windy road to the top at the jeepneys how overloaded they are. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this, there was as many people on the roof as there was inside. Have also seen a few of them go off the road up there and down into the ravine if a tree does not stop them, public transport just isn't safe here along with the lack of maintenance.

    I was in Dumaguete today and the trike fairs were the same, not sure what a difference it should work out to but the wife asked and they said there is no change...gas is cheaper the guys may make a bit over the course of the day

    We
    The trike drivers are telling a little fib then because the prices are supposed to be 6.50 and not the 8.50.
