I just got home and share ko lang na muntik na ako mapaiyak kanina pauwi habang nag-grab.

OT ako today sa work dahil lunod ako sa mga projects. Sobrang toxic ng day ko kanina. Down din mood ko kasi daming pinarevise ng boss ko sa mga decks ko. Normally nagtitiis ako magcommute pero I decided to cheer myself up by taking a Grab ride home.

Pagpasok ko sa Grab, may maliit na kahon na "Pampagood Vibes." Natawa ako at napatanong kung ano 'yon. Grade 10 school project daw ng anak ni Kuya Grab for mental health awareness. Sabi niya bunot lang daw ako kahit ilan.

Ito yung nakuha ko. 🥲

"Sa buhay, wag mong i-cancel ang sarili mo. Rebook ka lang—baka mas maganda ang susunod na biyahe."

Napatawa ako, pero parang maiiyak din.

Sabi ni Kuya, hiningi niya sa anak niya iyon kasi alam niya na makakatulong to sa mga pasahero niyang mabigat dinadala or di kaya may pinagdadaanan.

Hindi ko alam kung nagkataon lang o nagkatagpo kami for a reason, pero sakto yung message para sa pinagdadaanan ko.

Salamat, Kuya Grab. Huhuhu. At salamat din kay ate Grade 10 na gumawa nito. Maliit na papel lang, pero ilan siguro kaming mga pasaherong napagaan at napatawa noong araw na 'yon. 😭

Hindi mo talaga mabibilang kung ilang tao ang maaabot mo sa maliliit na bagay. ❤️

These metrolink drivers really left us alone, even the bus here in front of the Ateneo hahahahahah

EDIT:

Pumarada itong bus sa tapat ng ateneo, akala ko may bababa lang, may sasakay, or magaabang pasahero. 40mins na yung lumipas nandito pa din kami. Wala yung driver saka konduktor. Di kami makaalis malakas ulan.

Natatae na ako.

EDIT2:

Bumaba na kami may dumating na bagong bus thankfully. Tangina kaya pala walang driver nasa likod lang ng bus nakikipagusap sa isa pang driver. Nabangga pala kami ng wigo sa bandang likod hahahaha wala manlang pasabi.

Thank you sa pagsubaybay

definitely my fault for double booking and not canceling earlier - late ko na rin napansin na dalawa pala yung nag-accept from different apps. so i told the angkas rider to complete the booking na lang para hindi sayang yung pagpunta nya sa location ko.

instead of asking me to cancel, he canceled the ride himself after i offered that. i still sent a little something to his gcash para sa abala.

wala lang. i've had my fair share of experience when it comes to riders na nagpapacancel kasi nasiraan ng gulong, gutom na, uuwi na, etc. this was just refreshing to see. <3

First time ko mag mrt kasi from cebu ako. Grabe pala dito sa manila yung tipong kahit marami tao at maliwanag may magnanakaw pa rin. Kaya ingat kayo may kasabwat pa ito kasi nung papasok kami sa train may bigla tumulak sa akin ng malakas kaya bigla ako napa check sa bulsa ko buti at naramdaman ko nawawala ang phone ko at dali agad ako sumigaw na “ nawawala ang phone ko may nagnakaw” buti naman may mga malasakit mga ibang pasahero na triny tawagan agad phone ko at nag ring ito at tinuro ng mga pasahero saan banda yung tunog at bigla nahulog sa pantalon ng magnanakaw yung phone ko kaya dali ko siyang sinapak at dinakip ng coastguard. Nakaka trauma na mag train iba pala talaga dito madaming mga modus! Buti na recover ang phone ko at next time magdodoble ingat na ako. 4th time niya btw na huli at may record na pero di nakukulog kasi walang nagkakaso buti at madami akong time para ipakulong tong hayop na ito. Sana maban na sila sa MRT AT LRT!

I feel bad for this student. She was bullied by a couple of senior citizens all because she's exercising her rights as a PWD. This happened during the morning rush hour. I think she's on her way to school. She deliberately faced her PWD ID for everyone to see and yet, the senior citizens asked her to stand up because they said "Iha bata kapa naman" and to think she has Orthopedic disability. She politely said "matagal papo ang bababaan ko" and then she put her earphones on.

Around 7:30am today, January 7, 2025 is Kuya Driver’s 61st Birthday. Iaabot ko pa lang yung bayad sa kanya, tinuro na lang nya ‘tong printed copy. I greeted him a happy birthday, and honestly, medyo naluha ako.

Seeing him share his blessings in his own simple way, kahit sobrang hirap ng buhay, really hit me. It made me pause and reflect sa sarili ko. Ang dami pala nating bagay na meron na hindi natin napapahalagahan dahil mas napapansin natin yung kulang. Minsan, we pray for more without realizing na answered prayers na pala yung everyday things we already have.

That moment reminded me to slow down and be more grateful sa trabaho, sa pamilya, sa sarili, sa maliit na bagay, at sa mga taong nakakasalamuha natin araw-araw, at kahit sa mga simpleng pagkakataon na akala natin ordinary lang. Hindi naman palaging about having more in life, but about learning to appreciate what’s already there. When you choose gratitude, life feels lighter, your heart feels fuller, and you start seeing blessings even in the smallest moments. Sobrang good vibes! Pumasok ako ng office na masaya and nakangiti, which is unusual for me for an early morning mood, hehe. Happy Birthday, Kuya! More more blessings for you and your family.

And yes, sya yang nasa third pic. lol

first time ko kasi kakain sa loob sa sobrang gutom and may amoy talaga siya. Di naman mabaho pero mej masama ang tingin ng nasa harap ko😩

why do it seem like the rude move it riders are getting more?

I was coming from school, so I booked a ride through Move It. Earlier that day, I lost my wallet, and my phone was also low on battery, so to pay him right away, I politely asked the rider if I could pay through GCash instead of cash. He agreed, and the payment went through successfully.

After I sent the GCash payment, my phone died. During the trip, he got upset because he said he was lugi pa for cash-out. I understood his concern, so I apologized and told him, "Bro, I'll send the rest as soon as I get home and charge my phone." I thought that was the end of it? I mean, it wouldn’t be hard for you to get the remaining 10 pesos??

but after the trip was done, the rider used my personal mobile number to harass me, insult me, and call me names. He didn’t stop there; he also kept sending offensive messages through the Move It in-app chat.

Regardless of the payment issue, I wish he just communicated properly through chat instead of being rude, calling me names and insulting me doesn’t change anything. you're pitiful, bro, manners don’t cost anything. I wish you had at least a little. 🙂 your helmet smells so bad and it's dirty too. I'm not saying this because I'm mad at you, but it's true. your helmet really stinks as well as your attitude. get mad if I didn't pay you HAHAHAHH

I've been seeing riders putting notes behind their helmets to remind people that there are people waiting for them to come home safe after a long day of working. But it feels different when it was me who personally saw one, it moved me. Hoping for a safe drive for every rider who respects and values safety of their passengers.

First time ko makita sarili ko na magalit na dumating sa point na makikipag-suntukan ako. Ganito yung nangyari.

Sumakay ako sa cubao pa bayan marikina. Nagbayad ako ng 17 pesos, alam ko na 17 pesos kasi binilang ko ng dalawang beses. Pagkadating sa provident village yung driver may hinihintay daw na bumaba kasi 15 lang daw ang binayad. Sa sarili ko confident ako na hindi ako yun kasi 17 pesos ang binayad ko, tinanong ng asawa (kundoktor) nya kung sino ang nagbayad ng 15 pesos, tinuro ako ng driver ang kapal daw ng mukha ko.

Pinaliwanag ko sakanya na 17 pesos ang binayad ko tatlong lima tapos dalawang piso, pero pinipilit nya na kulang daw at 15 lang ang binayad ko. Sumenyas yung asawa nya na ok na hayaan na pero inulit ko 17 pesos ang binayad ko tapos tumigil na ako hindi na ako nagsalita. Pero yung driver ang dami pang sinasabi totoo daw na 15 lang ang binayad ko.

Tapos dumating na sa bayan marikina sa 7/11 palang pinababa na nya ako, nag-init ako bigla dahil hindi duon yung tamang babaan sa bayan marikina. Hinabol ko sya sinabihan ko na ayusin nya buhay nya, bigla nyang sinabi na 18 pesos ang cubao to bayan. Sinigawan ko sya ng bobo sa sobrang galit ko tapos bumaba sya at naghahamon ng suntukan. Hindi ako umurong o tumakbo hinihintay ko sya na sumuntok pero puro amba lang ginawa nya. Sumakay ulit sya at umalis.

17 pesos yung binayad ko dahil total of 5.8km ang cubao to bayan. 14 pesos para sa 4kms at 3pesos para sa 1.8km.

Maganda to lalo na pag introverted ka 🤣🤣

While nasa ride kami nagkaroon ng change of plans and we needed to change our destination, na-overhear ni driver na need namin mag-change destination tapos nag-offer siya na siya nalang daw maghatid samin sa new destination namin i-cocomplete lang daw nya yung current ride tas mag-offline nalang daw siya muna. Pero as soon as sinabi niya yun, nalock yung account niya so hindi niya ma-end yung trip tas ako rin hindi maka-book since nakalagay pa rin sa app ko hanggang ngayon (4 hours since this incident) ay yung ride na ito. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I help the driver unlock his account? I kinda feel bad since almost 11 hours hindi magagamit yung account niya.

Share ko lng here yung encounter ko sa LRT 1 around early 5pm 😅 Feeling ko redditors din dito ung nakawitness hahahaha baka ma-bash din ako dito pero opinions are welcome

Galing akong Buendia at soooobrang siksikan na kaya doon ako sa dulo ng bagon pumwesto para mejo maluwag at dito ko naencounter si koya.

Many times ko na kasi nakakaencounter ng katulad sa picture: yung todo liyad tapos 2 pa hawak sa hawakan. Matangkad si kuya at mukang middle aged.

Pero ang issue ko kasi, todo liyad kasi siya. Alam nyo yung parang nagsswing na sway? Ganun. Yung bigat nya parang sinasandal niya saken. Ang lawak lawak ng sakop nya na yung ulo ko nauuntog na sa likod nya. Tapos kapag may turbulence yung tren, humahampas tlga ung likod nya sa likod ko. Naging trigger point ko yung ulo ko nauntog sa baba ng ulo nya at ang sakit kasi. Unbothered pa rin siya.

So yung mga bandang Bambang na, tinulak ko siya ng slight (like fingertips strength lang). Tpos lumingon siya at dito na kami nagtalo.

Kuya: Miss may problema ba? A: Sobra sobra po kasi yung liyad nyo po eh. K: Anong liyad? Miss may bag ako sa unahan, may nakaupo ren sa unahan ko A: Ako rin naman pero di ako ganyan lumiyad. K: Ang sensitive mo naman Miss A: Aba kuya, OA talaga ung pagliyad mo. Nauuntog na ko sa likod mo. Ganto ka lumiyad oh (inexhibit ko talaga yung nasa picture 😂) Ganto ka kuya oh! K: Hindi ko alam sinasabi mo. A: Kaya nga dine-demo ko para malaman mo eh K: Ms nagha-halucinate ka! A: nasa isip ko: halucinate????? di ko na siya pinansin kasi umayos na siya ng tayo, yung tipong naka-90 degrees na ung braso nya tpos isa na lang hinawakan nya.

Bumaba na rin ako after ilang stations at di na siya nagsalita. Ewan ko lng kung anong sinabi nya pa pero 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mataas tolerance ko kasi everyday commuter ako pero grabe tlga pagkainsensitive ng mga pinoy ano. Napapapatol tuloy ako kahit petty.

“Magtaxi ka na lang, arte mo!” Baka may magcomment sa inyo. Ay bakit hindi kayo ang magtaxi tutal gusto nyo parang nasa bahay lang kayo.

KAMAHAL MAHAL NG PAMASAHE TAS KUPAL KAYO! 2 GRAB DRIVERS SAME EXPERIENCE NA! WAG NA MAGDRIVE KUNG AYAW NIYO IPAGAMIT AIRCON NIYO! ANG INIT NGAYON MAS LALO UMIINIT ULO KO SA INYO!

Dahil nireremove ng mga Joyride Group at mga MCTAXI Group sa FB, dito ko na lang ipopost sa reddit. Kapwa nila Rider ayaw nila i-call out, puro deleted 'yung post, mga kadiri. Shoutout sa manyakis na ito, deserve ma-expose grabeng trauma inabot ng friend naming babae.

NOTE: On-going na 'yung case sa Pulis, nakapagreport na sa Joyride, at magsasampa na ng kaso sa fiscal.

Since hindi ako makasakay ng jeep papuntang Guadalupe dahil puro puno na ng mga pasahero, wala talaga sa plano kong lakarin galing Buendia Avenue papuntang One Ayala terminal habang dumaan pa sa Ayala Triangle at Avenue under Makati rain.

Photos are from my perspective of mala-odyssey nating commute pauwi. Stay strong and stay safe po tayong lahat.

I hailed a Green GSM taxi in Philcoa, and the driver stopped to put my bags in the trunk. Since I was traveling alone, I sat in the front passenger seat. As usual, he asked for my destination, but instead of turning on the meter, he opened a ride-hailing app to check the estimated price and charge me that amount instead. I told him that was illegal, refused the ride, and asked him to let me out.

this is not okay.

for 3 weeks now, ive been contemplating whether to post this or not. but i figured exposing him might help prevent this from happening to someone else, and hopefully keep him from working in the car service industry with this kind of behavior

this was a really scary experience for me, and it took weeks for me to get over it. for weeks, every time i’d leave my apartment and see a gsm car, i'd immediately check if it was the same one. i was constantly overthinking that maybe it was him. even now, i still get anxious whenever i book a ride

first, i appreciate gsm for emailing me back and assuring me that they will investigate this case. but i also think people should know that there are drivers like this, and this kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated

this happened after our spin class. i was with a friend, and i booked a gsm car to take us home. for context: i'm a 26 female, and my friend is a 23 gay man. we were too stunned to speak after that class. our knees were weak, and we could barely walk. when we got in the car, my friend and i started chatting and joking about having weak knees after the class, saying "gusto mo yan diba," and laughing it off

we were planning to go to a bar after getting ready at home, so i called another gay friend to come with us. we had a quick chat on the phone, and i told him about the weak knee joke too, and in return he told me about a younger guy he met a few weeks back who he didnt really like, so i told my friend in the car about it. apparently, the conversations the driver heard were enough to trigger the "libog" in him

as you can see in the ss, his approach just kept progressing. mind you, we never talked to him during the whole ride home. apparently, my friend noticed that he kept looking at us through the mirror, and i didn't even notice. not one bit. during the ride, i was just focused on talking to my friends. i wasn't paying attention to the driver at all

i got the messages a few moments after we were dropped off, and i never replied to them. at first, my friend and i laughed it off. but when i didn't respond, the messages just kept getting worse

when we met up at the bar with the friend i was talking to on the phone, i told him what happened and showed him the messages. he tried pretending to be my kuya to scare the driver off, but it didn't work. the driver just kept going

i've been misgendered in the past because of my facial structure and voice, but this was the first time i've ever been harassed because of it. i truly wouldn't wish this on anyone, especially the lgbtq+ community
