Hello steemit,
So, I know I am just a grumpy foreigner here in Philippines, but this is another shining example of the suck to be found here.. something I experienced first hand yesterday. BTW, today I think I'll just stay home.. :P
This is the article attached to the pic I found on google..
To sum up the content.. it says how THERE IS a big problem with the transportation system here.. specifically, the taxi waiting at the malls. They would install some heat sensors so that the taxi companies would know if there are people waiting and then just send some taxis there. Simple. Sounds good,
Notice the date. :)
Guess it DIDN'T work so good. how bout just put some fixed camera at each station? Cost too much? You could buy a little black/white one and send the signal to the taxi company.. cost is very minimal. I woulda bought like 10 of those personally and have them installed just so I can have a more efficient, safe system to rely on. Alas, I think its way down on the list of things to attend to here in PH.
Let me just say that despite these little sucky things.. I still luv living here in PH. :) I encourage anyone to come visit and see for yourself! Yay!
Have a great day,
Ben
