We have lived in this subdivision for eight months. There are perks that we enjoy out of of living here. The place is generally peaceful with guards securing the entrance and exit gates. It's clean, the collection of garbage is regular, and there are people who are paid to maintain the cleanliness of the parks and the sidewalks. The neighbors are friendly. And we are also near a large mall-it's just a 15 minutes-walk away, and the mall is along the main highway. The church is also a 15-minute walk away from the subdivision.And most of all, it's located at a higher elevation, meaning, no floods.....
Blocks 1 to 12 of this subdivision were constructed sometime 2009. Our house, situated in Block 13, was constructed on 2010. Year 2013 and there are still no franchised transportation plying the route from the subdivision going downtown. And this is our dilemma.
Our kids with their large and heavy bags take the motorcycles which serve as "public transportation" in this urban area. The motorcycle will deliver them to the highway and there, they can ride the jeepneys that are going downtown. Now, imagine if it's raining hard....
The senior citizens are forced to ride the taxi. When you want to go shopping, you either take the taxi or the motorcycle, or just walk.Taxi fare costs you 60 pesos, motorcycle fare costs 10 pesos.
If there are mass transports here like jeepneys or multicabs, the fare will only be 7.50 pesos for regular fare and 6 pesos for discounted fares (for students, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities). Aside from this low fare, it will also be convenient for us residents who do not have our own cars to travel from the subdivision to the mall or to the church.
If there are only about 5 public utility vehicles plying from the subdivision to the highway this dilemma is solved.
