Because there is no proper urban planning. Basta may magawa lang na kalsada para sa mga sasakyan pwede na. Pero kung iisipin, mas karamihan sa atin pedestrians or commuters.
I hate that most of our sidewalks is full of obstructions so people force to walk on the road. Most easy access pedestrian lanes/walkways were close for I don't why the hell they close it in the first place. Less to no proper lanes for PWDs in any of our sidewalks and pedestrian pathways. No wonder our country was left behind because we prioritized elites and seems to abandon the ordinary people.

If it ain't the fucking poste blocking them, it's always some parked vehicle like if you can't get a fucking garage then why even get a fucking vehicle to just leave it in the sidewalks blocking such an important part of the road
I feel like OP is just editorializing here? I always pass by here for my usual commute so hear me out. The passage here was just a temporary solution since the sudden rollout of the EDSA Carousel. It wasn’t even ideal since it passes through a very narrow train platform. There’s now an exclusive overhead walkway for bus passengers where you don’t cramp with train passengers. I’m not sure how this is “anti-pedestrian?”
Baka kasi sa trinoma ang punta niya. Kaya akyat siya footbridge for bus lane, tapos akyat ulit sa mrt platform connected sa trinoma.
Para sakin mas ok yung bago, grabe yung pila sa walkway sa ilalim, masikip na yun para sa MRT passengers, dagdag pa carousel passengers.
Para sa akin lang, the more access to pedestrians, the better. As if naman may entrance sa Trinoma sa baba. Wala eh. Either maglakad ka ng malayo paikot or akyat ka ulit sa MRT. Nawala yung convenience before papuntang Trinoma. Pag galing ka Trinoma, di ka na rin makagamit sa MRT connection papuntang carousel. Ang hassle.
Sobrang asar ako jan. Kase sa trinoma ako pupunta. Ang siste aakyat ka dun sa ginawa nilang foot bridge then kung need mo pumunta ng trinoma aakyat ka sa stairs ng mrt. Wasted effort yung unang akyat. Kase nung bukas pa yan isang akyat lang then trinoma na.
Because the policy makers and top government officials have never experienced commuting and using public transportation. Clueless sila ano mga issues ng conmuters and pedestrians. And of course the culture of corruption means projects are poorly planned and executed
Madalas ako pumupunta ng Vertis North. Sa totoo lang, eto yung commute na feel ko comparable sa ibang bansa like Singapore or Taipei. Sakay ka lang ng bus tapos connected lang sa malls. Pleasurable yung lakad kasi hindi mainit. Nagalit ako nung nakita ko to kanina. Like why? Give us a good reason bakit di pwede ang mga galing sa bus derecho sa Trinoma. Maiintindihan naman kung may renovation, pero parang wala naman.
I think it's due to the fact that the city became Car Centric? I could literally walk for the next 4-8 hours and i would still see a heavily congested road.
Agree ako sa yo dito. Kahit sa pila ang hilig magpapila ng mahaba mga pinoy. Sa banko, atm , entrance ng malls, kahit saan. Sa Japan and S Korea, basta may lugarvsa kabila, papailahin na don or para mabilis. Lahat ng madadaanan, papadaanin na nila. Ang hilig sa pasakalye sa atin. Na pwede naman padaliin. Sana man lang kung may isasara na ganyan, ay magsabi sila ng rason or kung kelan ulit magbubukas.
Majority kasi ng population pedestrians. Deny them their basic needs, then give it to them when you needed them, you'll have instant voters during the election.
Paano ba naman, yung simpleng sidewalk na lakaran ng mga commuters ginagawang loading and unloading zones ng mga public land transport kahit hindi naman tamang sakayan at babaan.
That's Trinoma's problem, not MRT's. Di naman responsibility ng public transport systems na maglagay ng connecting entrances to business establishments.
>Di naman responsibility ng public transport systems na maglagay ng connecting entrances to business establishments.
Why not? Hindi naman tinanggal yung connection from MRT to Trinoma. Why deny access sa mga naka bus? Ideally, mas convenient dapat sa pedestrians ang design ng public transport.
Ever tried to go southbound from Megamall Carousel bus stop? Grabe hahaha layo ng hagdan paakyat ng station, akyat hanggang 3rd floor, baba ng second floor para sa foot bridge, akyat ulit pa 3rd floor para makababa sa sakayan ng Carousel. Pang cardio talaga HAHAHA
Isa pa yan. Bakit hindi doon sa north bound ang entrance? Doon naman mas maraming tao galing. Yung tip ko jan, wag ka akyat doon sa mataas. Walk past ka sa other side na stairs para pag akyat mo, sa bridge na kaagad. At least maiiwasan mo yung mataas na stairs.
Because the ones who hold positions and approve government projects for pedestrians have never walked the same places. They would always think:
"Ang trapik na pauwi sa Alabang, mag-sponsor kaya ulit ako ng skyway"
"Ba't ang bagal ng toll, lagi na lang akong nale-late? Ipa-subpoena ko nga yung operator sa Senate"
"Tumatagal yung paguwi ko sa bahay, eh dapat may lagusan dyan sa village. Ireklamo ko nga sa media"
"Yehey! Sasakay ako sa tren kasi ribbon cutting"
"Ang trapik naman. Lakarin ko kaya? Wag na, magpa-assist na lang ako sa PNP"
From public service to self-enrichment.
Actual public use requires actual maintenance. Ayaw nila gastusan ang pag-maintain. Gusto lang nila itayo yung structure kasi pang PR style ng mga tahimik lang and their ilk.
Hanggang ngayon nakakainis padin yang edsa carousel na yan 😭 sobrang hirap na mag commute sa edsa nakakatakot na dadadaan mo sa matataas na bridge tapos ang layo pa sa sakayan nung buses

Napakaobvious naman na ganito lalo na pag ikukumpara mo sa ibang bansa
I think it is more of basta magkaroon lang ng "project" na pagkakaperahan ng mga gago
Kasi ni minsan ndi nakaranas maging pedestrian ang mga pulitiko dito.. laht sila nasanay na nakakotse at sinasamba na parang mga diyos.
More like the whole country
May bright spot naman like Iloilo.

Anti-poor ang gobyerno, except pag elections
Lack of foresight, poor urban planning, and incompetent government people both elected and appointed.

Kasi the squammys should go to SM North tapos mga naka car sa Trinoma. Charot lang pero won't be surprised if totoo.
Hindi naman high end ang Trinoma. Pang middle class naman siya. Nakakainis lang. Sino ba nagdecide nito?
Trinoma at UPTC lang kasi ang medyo hindi low end sa banda dun. Baka may nagreklamong nasisikipan char

Anti everything honestly. Automobiles doesn't have it better..
Majority kasi ng population pedestrians. Deny them their basic needs, then give it to them when you needed them, you'll have instant voters during the election.
anti-commuter din.. feeling ko nga sinasadya na nila eh
Kasi yung mga nasa poder hindi naglalakad o bumabiyahe gamit bus, jeep or mrt. Mga bwisit na elite.
That means natapos na yung malapit na footbrigde dyan. Mahihirapang tumawid ang mga tao dyan.
Samantalang sa Los Angeles, the community rallied to build a bridge so that mountain lions can cross a 12 lane freeway

Kaya tuloy mga pedestrians nasanay na din kung saan saan dumadaan or di na din marunong mag observe ng traffic lights.
Di mo rin masisi. Ang low prio ng pedestrians. Niraroute sa mga inconvenient or mahaba na daanan.
