NU 12 Analiza G. Mendoza - bus automation


ANALIZA G. MENDOZA
NU 12
Buses here in Metro Manila still needs discipline. Accidents happen because of the carelessness of bus drivers who drives like they are the king of the road. 
They stop anywhere and everywhere without giving consideration to other cars on the road. Even with implementation of penalties, little improvement can be seen which is still not enough.
I suggest that bus stops should be automated. Buses should be installed with a sensor that opens only in their designated bus stops. Otherwise, the door of the bus will not open in the middle of the street .They cannot just pick up passengers at any point they like. This will create disciple both to the driver and passenger. But in order to implement this, bus stops should be built not too far from each other.  This will also minimize if not prevent hold up inside the bus because hold uppers will have to wait for the bus' door to open in a bus stop before they can go down. 4 <there is such an invention made by a fmr student;  it won an award in UK;  it has not been implemented though>
