One thing I observed about rural places is the difficulties in terms of transportation. Like here in our place, trips are scheduled to pick up passengers from the barrio to the city after every sixty minutes and vise versa. No heavy traffics to deal with, still, expect to be late when you don’t reach the main road ahead of time and missed the jeepney for that particular trip. After that is spending your time waiting another one hour for the next trip to come. Last trip will leave Tagbilaran back to the town at seven O’clock in the evening. You have to rush to the terminal before the time limit or else you’d be left behind and look for a special ride then pay two to four times higher than the regular fare. These are only some of the common situations concerning routines of transportation in rural area.
No wonder, barrio people consider cars or any types of vehicle not as wants but as a necessity. For some people, buying cars and motorcycles is their way of spending money for luxury. But for those who live in rural places, having one is an advantage considering its availability. A lot of working people nowadays are looking forward of having their own vehicles for service purposes. Some saves money for brand new cars while other prefers the used one. Luckily, it is now easier to find on sale second hand vehicles here in Bohol through reading advertisements in newspapers or visiting websites like Boholclassifiedads.com . While brand new cars which are also included in the vehicles section are being promoted by well companies through big banners and posters. Actually, whatever it is, either brand new or second hand, what really counts is that you have a service which you can use anytime particularly in times of emergencies.
Transportation routines in rural area are very specific with time. Exercising punctuality and having a lot of patience is needed to easily adapt the system. Patience by means of waiting and punctuality in the sense of being aware of what time you should be at the waiting area.

Public transpo going to Dauis and Panglao now isn't quite as bad as in the 90's. Monopolized by JJ Express, their drivers were resentful to anyone who's got Dauis-Panglao franchise (other than them, of course). They thought it was their territory, yet their service left a lot to be desired.
ReplyDeleteIt is true 'though that public transpo in rural area is not the same as in the city, but then, that rings true to almost all things.
