    Grabe sa kabila yung mga upvoted comments on jeepney modernization. Poverty porn daw or paawa effect yung argument against it when the OP literally said on the title he’s for modernization and that the implementation has to be realistic. Tbf, yung analogy na quoted is laughingly bad, but it’s not hard to see the point being made.

    Furthermore, a comment saying that arbitrarily copying public transport fixes from other countries and applying it to Metro Manila won’t work is getting downvoted. Pakita daw ng studies na it won’t work, lol. The onus of proof lies on those saying it will work, hindi sa nagsasabi na it won’t. It’s common sense to assume that what works elsewhere won’t work everywhere, although the guy touched partly on why he thinks so.

      I did notice that there were a lot more people who mock things as “anti-poor.” There were only specific people who did it before, but it seems to becoming more popular in r/ph.
