Globally speaking, basing upon the past situations and past experiences of mankind through the ages, as we look back into it, historically speaking , we can see so many changes that had happened.

Probable Reasons for Changes

Desires, wishes, needs, improvements, in securing the future physically, spiritually, socially, mentally, and last but not the least economically or financially.

My Personal Experience

Just recently last month , Jan. when I travelled from province to city to spend my New Year with my grandchildren with their parents, I experienced some changes in commuting .

Changes which I am not so aware of because for so long a time I have not travelled going to Manila.

Traffic in Manila is the number one problem for years. And to solve that problem is not so easy to achieve. There are lots of ways and means that has been planned and executed for a change to addressed to it by different persons that finally , somehow such changes implemented worked both ways advantageous and disadvantageous.

I said this because of my personal experienced just recently. Being one of the hundreds or thousands of commuters on that very day in Manila, I found it difficult but glad to say safer than before, because of the changes made on the rules and regulations of transportation and being implemented as strictly as possible

Safer in the sense that you are to cross safely going to the other side of the road using the footbridge or overpass to get a ride on the other side of the road in the legitimate or proper bus stop. The only disadvantage was to go up & down the stairs , which is too high.

Buses has its own lane where to stop to get passengers and get off the passengers. Somehow it was well and good in eliminating traffic congestion on the streets. The only disadvantage is that you have to walk a long way from the bus stop either towards or backwards to where your destination is.

By the way , we went that day in Fiesta Carnival. The bus stop was so far to where we are going that we have to go backward.

In going back home, we just decided to take a taxi cab to spare ourselves as well as the 4 kids with us , from walking a long way towards the bus stop from where we are .

It was a long trip in going back home, but since we are in taxi cab we travelled with comfort and ease and safety.

My Personal Opinion

The Results of such changes in transportation rules and regulations was well and good . lt is for the safety and benefit of every commuters .

The necessity of the changes involved , I believe were profitable for the majority of the commuters taking their daily travel going to their respective works or classes

Commuting became smooth , easier, safe and less traffic because every vehicle knows its designated place to thread on , on the streets .

The changes taught everyone to be disciplined , to abide by the rules implemented , to cope up with and bear the disadvantages, if there is any, being brought by the changes.

Somehow, maybe in the future such disadvantages, may be eliminated as changes would occur depending upon the discretions of people concerned or authorized personnel of the government to make reasonable, profitable, more advantageous, changes to enjoy and not to endure.
