Hi! Can anyone help me with commuting directions? How do you commute from Buendia/Gil Puyat to V. Luna Hospital? Thanks :)?

The scooter has whats called a CVT clutch inside. The faster or slower you go, two cones are moved in and out by springs and the centripital force. The belt is inside these cones!

The spring tension and sometimes weights set the rpm that the cones move in and out at.
Sometimes you can get different cones, or different springs, or even a smaller final drive sprocket. THey make kits.They are expensive kits, but you can do it.

There are accidents on planes, trains, buses,bikes and even pedestrians have fallen into holes walking on sidewalks.
Cars have more than their fair share of incidents in particular at night with drunk drivers.

Now back to transit. It does cost money. So do roads.

A community just needs to decide which they want to direct more money. Local Taxes state taxes Federal Taxes all come out of the same pair of pants YOURS the difference is which pocket they pick.
As others noted after WW2 there was a switch to car travel . Money that was used for transit went to roads.
This went on for a long time.you see the results 20-50 years later.

More could go to transit again it would cost money and you do not see the real effect for 20-50 years. Things like more dense housing provision for pedestrians and so on.
It will never serve every person for every trip but a road is not much use for someone that does not own a car. It costs the individual thousands to use this Free road.First buying a car and then all its other expenses like parking insurance and registration. This is before you pay for gas to move it.

Planers from the 50's to 80's said people want to live in an area with just houses. Keep business in a separate area and industry in other. This eventually meant everyone had to travel to and fro.

It is changing. Things like home business. Going back to the smaller building that had a store at the bottom and the owner or some other family lived upstairs. Some cities have created some of their own problems with things like tax rates. The place next to them competing for business or residents by adjusting their to take advantage. The burbs and the old center of the city for example.

Larger places by geography that have regional planing seem to have better transit systems as they include the burbs and town to town transit needs not just inside the city.

The road network has had many billions spent on it over the years.

Much of it is now needing rebuilding because of age. The more progressive places are including transit as part of this rebuilding
adding a bus lane or train track to the median. leaving space on a bridge for some future thing and so on.

The transportation system as a whole has been neglected for a long time mainly for budget reasons and we have made do with what was built just after the war. At that time people objected to these huge sums for roads to nowhere and bridges at places no one lived. The little ferry was fine just took 20 minutes or whatever.

Over time the people of cites moved out along these roads and crossed the bridges. .

To change to more transit can be done it is a slow process and will cost billions and take many years before you see a change for the city or state as a whole.

Back in the 30's and 40's yes you could go by street car hundreds of miles city to city. The car companies bought them and closed them.it was the competition.

The city of LA is using some of these abandoned tunnels in there new system.

It was a mistake at the end of the war not keep the street cars and expand them as part of the new roads to the suburbs around cities. They would have made a difference 30 or 40 years later on how things turned out.

Good quotes for cars,speed ...

Depends on which state you took the test in. Some require you to have at least a half tank of fuel in the car you're testing in (Why? I have no idea why.) Apparently your state is one of them.

Usually if a state has the half-tank fuel requirement, the examiner will check the car's fuel level along with all the lights, the horn etc., in a pre-drive inspection. It's a bit of B.S. that you were failed for that as you were testing since the car had been (or should have been) approved for testing before you set off. But if that's the rule, then that's the rule and you broke it. Next time I guess show up with more fuel and ace the behind the wheel portion just like you did this time
