MANILA - Sen. Grace Poe on Thursday said the Department of Transportation should consider reserving part of MRT trains for "business class" passengers.

MANILA - Sen. Grace Poe on Thursday said the Department of Transportation should consider reserving part of MRT trains for "business class" passengers.

Fares for the "business class" coaches could be double or triple the normal fare for the MRT, Poe said. "Like kunyari sasakay ka ng eroplano di ba? Mayroong front seats na mas mahal, first to board, but you pay a premium," Poe said. Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, meanwhile, said the DOTr could entertain Poe's proposal but only after the completion of the MRT's rehabilitation.

He said designating a business class section at the MRT would not be feasible now because the transit system is still having problems deploying enough coaches to service commuters.

Napaka damunyo ng idea mo grace poe

pinahirapan pa ang mga tao...paano yong kulang ng pera di na siya maka sakay sa business class? Madam Grace di ka nag iisip mema talaga kayo na mga maka kaliwa 👎👊👊

And there goes another 'brainy moves' from the female anti Duterte admin. :D

Wow. Privileged much? 🤬 Ayusin kaya nila muna service ng mga tren? Puro kapakanan ng may pera iniisip. What about welfare ng anak ng dukha? Pag election lang kayo magagaling.

Di nyo nga maimprove yung existing service mag iisip pa kayo ng business class.

I like it! i lilly lilly like it!!!

As long as it ensures a service worth its price,why not?

Mag coding by car type. Know why? Kasi maraming may ari ng sasakyan na nagsu-switch ng plate nila kapag coding sila. Tapos saka sila magre-reklamo sa trapik e kagagawan din naman nila mga hindi napalaki nang maayos ng mga magulang nila.

Knowing Filipinoes, hindi yan susunod, of course gusto nila convinience, they will still preferred car...MRt is a mass transportation...

Walang kwentang panukala. Hindi pinag-isipan.

Tax nating lahat tapos ang service, for elites lang? Parang mali.

Akala ko c leni lng ang my golden idea, c TRAPOE dn pla.

Padamihin niyo ang daan. Juice ko! Ang daming corrupt. Un ang unang hakbang para may pera pang ayos ng mga daan.

Sa ngayon, Hindi! Dapat isipin at iayos muna ang serbisyo ng maayos at organisado. Kawawa ang publiko sa bulok na sistema ng gobyerno.

If I remember correctly, the MRT was initially designed to encourage car owners to ride the train instead of using their cars, or at least, park the cars in north triangle and ride the train to Makati. The initial fares also reflected that, at 44 pesos end-to-end.

Yes I agree kung meron din business class na lalakaran sa riles pag tumirik

dagdag parusa sa mga ordinaryong commuter, palibhasa mayayaman sila di nila alam ang hirap ng mga ordinaryong tao. More public transport na magagamit ng ordinaryong mamamayan at hindi ang iilan lang. Isip isip din po pag may time. Common sense ang pairalin.

I cringe. Guuuuurl! 🤬

oh you get a few of them off EDSA but that's one coach less for the non-Biz class? Or even if you provide a new Train solely for them then you should also provide more trains for the non-biz right? But fix MRT first. Imagine if these Biz class paying a premium are forced to walk.

Kelangan namin ng maayos na public transportasyon hindi yang kaartehan na yan...ampota!

sus sa ibang bansa nga mayaman o mahirap may kotse o wala magkakasama ang dapat ayusin yung mismong tren! ang bulok.

Wala naman business class sa ibang asian country na nasakyan ko, pero dahil disiplinado mga pasahero at safe magbyahe, maeenganyo ka talaga mg comute.. e dito ba?! Safety muna ng tao isipin nyo kasi

Yes! Why not?

masyadong mababaw na panukala!

Mam, kahit hindi po business class basta po maayos ang byahe at walang aberya... Maa-appreciate pa po namin yun.. just saying lng po😊

ayusin muna ang mga aberya, bago managinip. wag puro salita, gawin na lang

Wow business class coaches. Minsan din wala sa tamang hirit si sen Poe. So ibig sabihin ba ang government meh pang bili ng bagong bagon. Eh di palitan muna yung luma tapos tska dagdagan ng business class. Parang tinangal naman karapatan ang maralita.

Di nga halos ma accomodate yun pasahero.. bussiness class ..pa..

Agree. Minimum 50pesos for the first 3 stations then plus 10 pesos per station travelled thereafter.

Pwede!

Anu ba tong klasing mga diskarte't panukala! Ala na ba talagang maaAlam na diskarte ang lingkod bayan nahalal.

wag maging bobo

Crazy idea as if pipila mga yan

Yes why not?

Nope

Yes just like in Dubai

Napaka anti-poor ng suggestion na 'to. Puro may kaya lang ang iniisip niyo eh puta, i-maintain niyo muna kaya nang maayos ang mga tren dito sa Pinas?

tanga bakit di nalang gawing homebased yung mga employee para tipid pamasahe na manabawasan pa ng traffic

Pucha Nasisira nga yung MRT e SenGracePOE

No

Juice Colored!

Fuck no.

Lets see if mag work...

Ayusin ang public transpo para sa lahat nde para sa iilan. Please. Yan ang tunay na pagmamahal sa bayan.

Dapat yung pnr ayusin nyo wag every hour dapat katulad ng lrt

Talaga itong si Bopoe,patawa.

Hindi, alangan nmn sasangyon eh utak ni Grace po puro kasosyalan at paplastikan lng. Iwan ko ba bat nanalo pa yan. Mukhang palitan talaga ang smartmatic.

This american woman (Poe) never understood the need of the common people, kulang na nga LRT for the commuters babawasan mo pa para sa ordinaryong mamamayan. Yun mayayaman may mga drivers naman yan, let them be

Kung inaayos nyo ba naman ang service ng trains edi di na kailangan magbusiness class shits. Mga vovo

why not regulate car company that has low monthly installment for a brand new car so to lessen new car buyer who can afford a very low deals. Most of the car nowadays are installment basis that causes more vehicles on major roads

Business class for all

I suggest all senators ride the train daily to their destinations. then I'll start listening to her.

Impove the public transpo service. Kahit sino mahirap mayaman sasakay dyan kung matino ang sasakyan.

ang dami nyong alam! !!!!😂

Sen Grace deserves a lot of 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵

Yung nga low class di nyo mapatakbo ng maayos. Iisipin ka pa ng business class

Vaks Grace tantanan mo na ang kala suggest ng business class damihan mo nalang bagon.. japan level ganern ewan ko lang kung may mag kotse pa jusko pagtuunan mo nalang ng pansin ang kawalan ng classroom mygaaaaddd di ko lam kung high mga to habang nag susuggest 😂😅

an elitist pov towards public transpo, lame

Tanginang pag-iisip yan.. kung maka-ngawa ka tapos yan lang pala laman ng kakarampot mong utak. Talamak na talaga si Lugaw!!! Bobo mo naman POE..letsugas!!!🤬🤬🤬

boo! 👎

Business class?... Does the 'working class/economy/simpleng mamamayan ' dont deserve proper and hassle free public transportation system?... dun niyo lang aayusin yung public transpo sa may mas 'elite level' ? 🤯

My point din nman si Sen. Poe, kaya lng sa bansang Pinas, yung may mga cars nasanay na, nkaupo sa kanilang mga cars, at yankse naging ugali na may mga cars, bket nman sila ggamit ng may class na mrt may cars na sila.

Wala na solusyon jan Wala na tau magagawa jn pg dinamihan pa ng bagong roads at rail roads ang manila lalu lng sisikip at magiging polluted ang metro manila. the best jan suggestion lng po lagyan ng buwis lahat ng private at public vehicle

It should be an equal treatment kaya walang Tirana ang maliliit as pamahalaan paging May nakaaangat as mga batas na ginagawa
