mawarannahr posted:are things like traffic lamps and crosswalks mainly for decorative purposes where you are, too? I posted a couple of pages back that while the Philippines did implement a bunch of bike lanes over the last two years*, everything has opened back up, and we're already sliding back to "maybe motorcycles should be allowed on bike lanes" and "maybe we should abolish bike lanes entirely because it's just taking up lanes that cars could be using" so while there are traffic lights and crosswalks, it's still risky a lot of times ___ * when we entered into a hard lockdown in 2020, absolutely all public transportation was ended, and even private cars and motorbikes were subject to strict internal border controls. People took to riding bikes (or walking) purely because the government literally did not people any other choice to get around. In some ways it's a demonstration of how sufficient political will can end car culture, but then car culture did eventually come back

 e-trikes are gaining popularity here in the Philippines because: A. don't require gas B. stable enough to ride relatively safely by everyone C. roomy enough for multiple people to ride (ergo, families) D. don't require any license (legal loophole) E. large and fast enough to be taken on a lot of roads the most basic model there on the left costs about 35,000 PHP, or 630 USD, while the one on the right costs about 1,000 USD

I don't know how prevalent this is in other countries, but one of the evolutions of the ride-share app in the Philippines, beyond Uber / Lyft*, has been ride-sharing of motorcycles that is, you book it like you would an Uber, but you ride in the back of a motorcycle - part of the sales pitch is that this is even faster than taking an Uber because you get all the little swerves and scooching around traffic that a motorcycle affords, but the underlying economic angle is that there just aren't enough people driving car ride-shares to keep up with the demand, especially after 2020-2021 jumbled up traffic and public transportation, and then now that everything has opened back up in 2022 as a final bit of context, even well before "ride-sharing" became a thing, there is a practice in the Philippines called "habal-habal", which literally translates to "for hire" - this was the practice of motorcycle drivers waiting along busy spots in the metro, such as outside of malls, or right outside of churches on Sundays, or even certain locations in rural areas that don't have any other access to transportation, and arranging one-to-one deals with people to drive them to wherever they were going. It was considered different from any other kind of public transportation, such as passenger jeepneys or even tricycles, because even tricycles have organized terminals and fare rates and driver unions, whereas "habal-habal" was called such because it was a fly-by-night operation anyway, traffic has been cataclysmically bad this holiday season, primarily because this has been the first Christmas with most of the COVID [mobility] restrictions lifted, and one of the things I've noticed people are complaining about more and more is the return of "habal-habal" specifically, the motorcyclists are turning off their ride-sharing app, and then hanging around outside of a mall, and then contracting one-on-one with people trying to get home, with a fare charged only by the driver themselves - usually at a significant mark-up over what the app will ask of the customer (and with the driver getting to keep 100% of it) and this "works", because there are so many people needing a ride, from a known location, that the app is no longer necessary to link a commuter to a driver - the driver simply goes to where he knows lots of people are, and those people are then so desperate to get out that they take the deal the public then complains about the drivers engaging in this behavior, which I can understand, but it's also fascinating from a certain perspective because it represents a multi-factorial breakdown: the ride-sharing services invented themselves specifically to exist outside of the reach of government regulation, and even go so far as to include "flexibility" in their pitch to prospective drivers, ergo, it's an app that you can turn on-and-off at-will so that you can simply "drive on the side", but now that the drivers are actually making use of the lack of obligation to work straight shifts of driving, that this is then considered unreasonable indeed, these drivers are often wearing company-branded shirts and helmets in order to distinguish themselves as working for/under that company, in much the same way that your water company will tell you to only let the people wearing water company uniforms to enter your home, which gives commuters a certain impression, but in fact they're still under the "independent contractor" framework pioneered by Uber / Lyft ___ * to be clear, Uber left the Philippines entirely around 2019, and there's just one ride-sharing firm left here, "Grab", which originated in Malaysia and has since expanded to most of Southeast Asia. When I say "take an Uber", I'm actually referring to booking a ride on the Grab app, but I'm using the verb form since I know we still understand each other.
