Yes, public transport in other countries is certainly an adventure at times, though even over the past 20 years, much improved in the Phils with the latest aircon coaches, newer taxis etc.
A succession of weak and corrupt governments have scuppered changes that would have been in the interests of the voters of this country. That's the truth of it.
They have also allowed our own manufacturers of rolling stock to either be taken over by foreign companies or let them go bankrupt by placing orders abroad. (Close to home, as I'm from York).
I would rather have subsidised public transport than give billions away to 3 rd world countries to improve theirs....or should I say be salted away in the pockets of corrupt officials.
