In a moment of frustration, I ranted to Benjie dela Peña how mobility issues have remained the same. He said, “yeah - there seems to be a 10, 10 pattern: 10 years of advocacy, 10 years of speedy progress.” 7 years into the mobility advocacy, 👀 I can’t wait for the coming 3 years

The government needs to balance its investment in rail services/middle miles with feeder services/first-last miles to get people from their homes to different parts of the city; BRT is the quick win we need to achieve that + a way forward for PUVMP.

I LOVE this album - and I remember very well listening to it (live) for the first time July 2023 in some warehouse on Chino Roces. That was a really good night for Filipino music.

The goal: EDSA Busway 🚌 —> BRT🥇 . The good news: Our busway has the foundation for an effective mass road-based public transport where everyone wins: More capacity + transit corridors and more income for the industry for less government investment.

What we can imply from this photo of about 30 bikes, practically occupying the same space as a parking slot:. 1. Biking + number of bikers is undeniable;.2. esp. in cities where space is limited, bikes save space;.3. Infra needs to catch up. 🧠 Transport systems includes bikes

Def the next frontier in micromobility ⚡️ . - and my biggest takeaway from taking this Fiido C11 for a spin is zero battery anxiety: No battery, no problem 😅 Maxed out my charge on my final journey to Popcycle and still got there easy! . Thanks Gabby + @MangubatLeandro

Finding inspiration on a Sunday: This week, I was witness to bikers nominating other bikers to receive pedal-assist bikes from @DOTrPH and @grabph + recognition from @icsc_ph’s 2025 Mobility Awards. Let’s go, bike community ♥️

🏆 Today, active transportation is the champion . A multisectoral 🤝 effort to put the needs of the most vulnerable, the most in need above all else. Let’s normalize this ❤️‍🩹

Commuting when 🎶 It’s Raining in Manila . A rarely tackled matter, transport resilience is the ability to keep people + goods moving despite weather disturbances, calamities, issues, etc. As the rainy season rolls in, how much do the rains affect the quality of our commutes?

Here’s an example of parallel or complementary service. It helps fill in gaps or offer higher frequencies and/or additional stops. In this case, a contingency during rail downtime. 🚌 🤝🚊.

LOOK: Commuters had to endure a longer-than-usual queue at the Taft Avenue EDSA busway station at past 8am on Tuesday after the MRT-3 temporarily stopped operations due to “a burning wire” between the stations of Cubao and Santolan Southbound. 📷: Jorem De Leon Cruz

Gaps in first and last miles is a factor in the over reliance on cars. Often ignored, these short trips are crucial to get us from our doorstep to the nearest jeep, bus, or rail line. Addressing it is key to reducing road congestion #fmlm #asmr
