WATTA AD!
“Antaas naman ng handrails dito sa MRT!” Sabi ng babae.
“Saken ka na lang kumapit,” alok ni lalake.
“WATTA! Anlaki mo! Para kang tempura sa Tokyo Tokyo!”
Yan ang “radio” plug ng Tokyo Tokyo sa MRT. Napa-sigh na lang ako.
WATTA ANNOUNCEMENT!
Last Monday sa Kamuning Station ng MRT, may nagsalitang lalake sa intercom.
“Eksaktong bayad lang po ang tatanggapin namin. Wala kaming panukli. Kaya sa mga nakapila, kung wala kayong barya, wag na lang kayong pumila. Mag-bus na lang kayo. Kahit pumila kayo, pagdating nyo sa counter, magpasensyahan na lang tayo. Wala kaming maisusukli.”
WATTA! This is unacceptable. For one thing, they SHOULD have change. It’s not the passengers’ responsibility to carry coins when they choose to ride the MRT.
Second, whatever happened to politeness? Pede namang “Pakiusap lang po, barya lang po ang ibayad natin…” But no, “Magpasensyahan na lang tayo…” Pffffffft. I don’t know if it’s just me but that’s waaaay too disrespectful and arrogant.
Buti na lang may Stored Value Ticket ako lagi. Tatlo pa. Haha.
WATTA NEGLECT!
Why can’t the MRT management see that they are almost totally ignoring passengers boarding on Kamuning Station. In the morning, it usually takes around 7 trains before I could finally squeeze myself into the sea of humanity onboard. The trains are fatally jam-packed before they could even reach Kamuning Station. And when an empty train finally comes, they skip us!!! Skipping trains’ first stop is usually Cubao Station. Boo!
Nagra-round trip tuloy ako parati para sa North Station ako sasakay.

MRT handrails have got to be some of the most germ-infested things on this planet. Eww!
Kevin
Agree! Kaso wala tayong no choice kundi humawak sa handrails. Wa’ poise naman un kung patumba-tumba tayo habang umaandar ung MRT/LRT. LOL
Ralph
Well, you could always stand in the part where the cars connect, then make sandal nalang, haha. Or, you could master the art of MRT-surfing. Try it! It’s fun
Kevin
Uhm. Hindi naman siguro bad. I know, may mga tao dyan na nae-enjoy ang MRT-surfing thing mo. Hihihih
Kevin
I’ve tried it na – MRT-surfing. Masaya siya pag puro guapo katabi mo. Bangga ka ng bangga sa kanila. Hehehehe.
Ralph
Hmm, maybe it’s a bad thing that I’m good at train surfing LOL

palagi naman silang walang barya sa kamuning station… and that’s the best they can do?! shooe away the passengers na walang barya! tsk tsk tsk
Yoshke
True. Nakakainis. Lalo na kung antagal mo pumila tas ganun yung maririnig mo! Pfffft!
gilbert
panalo yung ad nung Tokyo Tokyo!!! hahaha
matagal na rin akong di nakakasakay ng MRT.
Yoshke
eeeeeeeeeeh! Ang korni kayaaa!
Kevin
Ang ayoko sa MRT kasi siya ung busiest among the three trains pero till now hindi pa rin ma-upgrade ung trains nila! Ung LRT2, un ung least used pero ang ganda ng trains from the start. AFAIK, those trains were from Germany or Korea. un naman LRT1, nag-upgrade na to 3G (third generation) trains. MRT3?! When are you gonna be upgraded?! Tapos sa Ayala Station pa, bonggang bongga ang pila kapag rush hour. Talagang meandering ung pila. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
Yoshke
TRUE! TRUE! TRUE!
vins
Mas masayang sumakay ng Bus!
Kevin
I agree! Gusto ko ung mga new buses na bonggang-bonggang lamig! Tsaka you won’t have to make baba and then make akyat the MRT stairs then make hintay for the train. Un nga lang. Medyo traffic.
Yoshke
VINS, MRT pa rin over bus. ehehehe
Jinjiruks
Watta. kakasawa na minsan ang ads sa MRT pati mga balita nila bulok pa. hay salamat new post mula sa aking crush na si Yoshke.
sa Kamuning ka pala sumasakay sa Q.Ave kanlang. every 30mins me skipping train sila sa Q.Ave at Cubao. kaunti lang kasi minsan tao sa santolan at kamuning kaya taken for granted lagi
Yoshke
Kumusta naman yan? haha
Wuy, pero ang totoo, andaming sumasakay sa Kamuning!!!

Haaaayyy Manila trains….
So small the trains
So small the stations
So annoying the staff
So inconvenient
So unreliable
And I thought Tokyo trains suck. Thanks for reminding me that there’s something worse.
Kevin
Yoshke, I met one of your orgmates at UPD kahapon.
Yoshke
huh? sino?
Kevin
Lauren. I forgot the last name. Medyo petite girl na may eyeglasses. Medyo morena din. She didn’t mention your org and I wasn’t able to ask. But I think it’s Cineastes.
She even calls you ES.
Kevin
Uhm. Tama nga ba? Lauren? Now I’m doubting the name. I think it’s Roni. Tsk. I forgot na tuloy. Ugh!
elleica
buti na lang naisipan ko na sa probinsya magtrabaho after mag-aral sa Maynila..
no need for hassles sa MRT! no need to face the rush hour in the morning!
pero..ganun na ba sila ka-rude? rude na nga sila nung last kong sakay..mas rude pa ngayon..
whatever happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE??? or do they have any inclination what that is?
tez
ako din sa North na sumasakay para makaupo! grabe talaga. maski kagabi andaming tao. nagskipping train sa Ayala pero ansikip pa din. walang nakasakay sa Guadalupe. nahilo tuloy ako sa may Ortigas. pagdating sa Santolan, hinimatay na ko. *blagag* MRT, it’s life-threatening.
DN
panalo ang ad ng Tokyo Tokyo!
dust
i’ll take the mrt over bus anytime. pero nakaka asar pag walang barya, super pila ka then pag ikaw na walang sukli. on the other hand, ang tindi ng ad ng tokyo tokyo. haha!
