USE TECH SOLUTIONS LIKE QR CODES TO TRACK PASSENGER LOADING AND UNLOADING ON PUJs, BUSES, RAIL
Press Release: Handwritten passenger manifests for public utility jeepneys would be burdensome on both the drivers and commuters, aside from exposing them to identity thieves, stalkers, and other privacy violators.
A better solution is for each PUJ unit to have a unique QR code or other code which commuters can scan each time to get on and off a public transport unit.
Perhaps the DICT and private IT experts can come up with other easy-to-use solutions for all forms of land, sea, and air passenger transport, so that the entire transport system can have a much more accurate and reliable system than the ancient manual sign-up method.
Hindi dapat pahirapan ang drivers at transport associations sa pagtatala ng mga pasahero. Maging maingat tayo nang sobra sa personal na impormasyon ng mga tao.
Kung maaari nga sana, magkaroon na ng electronic payment system para mas accurate ang recording ng kita ng driver sa bawat araw ng pamamasada.
Mayroon nang ilang bus na bumibiyahe na gumagamit ng mga personal digital assistant para ma-compute ng konduktor ang pamasahe ng bawat pasahero.
The archaic thinking at LTFRB is again indicative of how ancient their mindsets are, partly because their charters and other laws they operate by are just as ancient.
The COVID-19 crisis is therefore yet another reminder to Congress to urgently replace our obsolete transportation laws. (END)
