The Idiots in Government

Me and my mom were seething when we both came in our respective offices this morning. We had been waiting in line for an hour and a half for the shuttle vehicles that goes straight to Makati. When we first got to the shuttle station a couple of blocks from our house, the long was so long that it would need at least 5 shuttle vehicles (each vehicle holds up to 14 individuals) to accommodate everybody.

Both my mom and I were bewildered about what could’ve caused such major delays. Makati’s too far to be affected by the traffic rerouting scheme that they were implementing in Quiapo for the Feast of the Black Nazarene. What the hell’s happening?!?

It was only later on did we find out about what caused the incident this morning – an idiot named Bautista from the Traffic Management Group of the LTFRB issued a directive that all shuttle vehicles be in white. When did the issue the directive? Oh sometime last week. What about the time for implementation? This morning which is absolutely stupid on the LTFRB’s part. It would’ve been fine if they gave them enough time to make the necessary changes and as well as time for the drivers to save up for the expenses of changing the color of their vehicles.

Their moronic directive entailed that drivers who does not follow it would have to have their vehicles impounded. The drivers of these shuttle vehicles are either too scared to get caught and be charged with a hefty fine or they’ve already been caught causing a huge deficit of vehicles compared to the number of passengers.

Way to go you nincompoops! Who’s suffering now? Certainly not your very comfortable toushies. It’s an absolute lose-lose situation for both the passengers and the shuttle drivers/operators – it’s hard to get to work on time for commuters like me while the others lose their income. Whoever put that imbecile on top aught to shoot their brains out.
