NU12 #9 and #10 by Catherine Chua

Catherine Chua NU12 #9 Jeep with two floors One of the most creative transportation here in the Philippines is a jeep. Jeeps are also one of the most major transportation in Metro Manila. They say that jeep is our country's pride. One of the most common problems I see on a jeepneys are people tend to hang outside the jeep especially when the jeep is full. In rush hours, like 6am to 8am, people tend to compress themselves inside a jeep or for guys they hang at the back of the jeep. I suggest that jeeps should have a second floor to have more space for passengers. It is like a two floor bus in other countries. If the jeep will have a second floor, passengers will pay first when they enter the jeep. Aside from these, there should be a fix fare on every passenger to minimize cheating. There should be limitation for jeepney drivers, such as the kilometer limit drive which will be 60km per hour for the passenger to be safe. Here are the advantages of having a two floor jeep: (1) people will not hang outside the jeep, (2) passengers will be safe, because they will not hang outside just to ride to work, (3) jeeps on the road will be lesser, and (4) easier for LTO to monitor the operated jeep. The disadvantages of having a second floor jeep are: (1) bigger expenses for jeepney operator (2) more gasoline consumption (3) higher fare. 4 Catherine Chua NU 12 #10 Fax Machine with Sim Card Up until now fax machines are so reliable for business that does not have an internet connection. Aside from this fax machines minimize employees who will use internet for personal needs such as facebook and yahoo messenger. For us to use a fax machine, it should be connected to a telephone line. But one problem that I encountered is when I need to fax a purchase order or signed documents, telephone lines are shot down. In that case I will wait first to have a dial tone for me to be able to send a fax. Another thing I encounter is I cannot carry a fax machine anywhere because I will need a telephone line for me to use it. I propose fax machine to have a sim card. Fax machine should be like cell phones. It should have a sim card slot to put a network provider's sim card. Fax machine with sim card should have incoming and outgoing calls by any network providers, incoming and outgoing landline calls and fax. Aside from this fax machine with sim card can also send and receive fax without any telephone line, just the cellular network. The advantages of having a sim card slot to a fax machine are: (1) there is no need for a telephone line to use a fax machine, (2) easier and more reliable for business office (3) no need for internet connection that can be misuse by office workers (4) fax machine will be more portable because you can you use it anywhere. The disadvantages of having a fax machine with sim card are: (1) more expensive to buy for the user and (2) important documents faxed may be easily misplace. 4
