Alternative Route

Dust! take Cover

Few months have past and my usual route gets more congested. The Mandaue government is putting up a flyover along my usual route so instead of waiting inside the PUJ with sweat and dust, i decided to take an alternative route. I guess the distance is pretty much the same but i need to walk to the tricycle stop and wait for a couple of minutes for some other passengers and up for another PUJ that stops near our office, a few blocks away, so i need to walk again.

Which is Better?
So i guess taking the alternative route was way better than my usual route. I still get dust and sweat but eliminate the traffic and the waiting time inside the PUJ and along the road for another PUJ...yup PUJ is how i go to work.

What's wrong?
So the PUJ just got its increase from P6.00 to P6.50 fare few weeks ago and now thay implemented another fare hike, its now P8.00 from the usual P6.50. I said to myself.... if the fare gets to P10.00 then ill ride my bike to work instead, yeah, get real... going to the office with bike? Could someone give me a bucket of water to wipe myself up?

Its not only the PUJ, also the taxi, from the usual P30 flag down to P40 flag down. They ask you to add additional P10 instead when you get off the cab instead of reprogramming their meter, but.... CURSE those who wants to cheat. It's still on July 24,2008 that you can start collecting additional P10 fare. Sheeeeeeeesh.....
