When commuting by bus/taxi/other PUV, have you witnessed any peculiar incident?

I also have experienced this incident in a bus. I was seating in front seat of the of the bus and I keep hearing this guy talking and talking. At first I thought he was talking with someone but I noticed that his voice was becoming louder and louder. I think he was talking about GMA, Erap and many political issues. when I look back I saw that he was just sitting along and talking by himself. Then some passenger started jeering him out he became rather violent and started shouting and then for all I know he was already furious with everybody. He was claiming to be an Iglesia and make threatening words and was asking everybody to go out of the bus. I went out of the bus to avoid the commotion then the conductor had called and MMDA to assist them from getting him our of the bus. When he was convinced to go out all the passengers went back in then the guy suddenly went furios again and tried to curse the bus but the door was closed for him and went off. He was running furiously and was even kicking the bus.

Gosh...kicked the conductor on the chest and left a shoe mark on his shirt? Talk about a real bad temper. lol Years ago I was riding a cab in Manila and a car accidentally hit the cab I was in. The driver of that car was getting away. I know... In total shock my taxi driver chased the car. He looked at me and went "I'm so sorry but I gotta do this...and you're my only witness...please bear with me". I was like "ok..." So we chased the car and at one point when the lights turned red my taxi driver got off and tried to talk to the driver of the other car right in front of us. The driver happened to be an American woman. She would not roll down her window looking shocked herself and scared because the taxi driver was speaking in Tagalog and kind of giving her a sign that they should talk about the damage she made on the taxi driver's car. She sped off instead soon as the lights turned green. The taxi driver got mad...he was like "I can't believe her...I can not pay for the damage!" So then we chased and chased her until the car entered the U.S. Embassy. OMG...i thought to myself...why am i being involved in this? I told the taxi driver that I need to be back at my office soon but he pleaded "No mam, please...you're my only witness, mam". The building security guards stopped the taxi and he got off the car to explain to the guards what happened so then they let us in. We waited a while and a few minutes later there was this american man who was walking over angrily mumbling "Where is he? Where is he?..." then he suddenly grab the taxi driver's shirt and went "You're the one who tried to scare my wife??? Who do you think you're going to milk for christmas? hah???" I could not believe what I was seeing. The taxi driver went "Sir, no, sir..." I felt so sorry for the taxi driver. I wanted to talk to the american guy right away but I felt kind of scared too. Then this other guy came over after and tried to calm the American guy. He then turned to me and said that he is the one assigned to handle the case so he asked me what exactly happened. I couldn't wait to tell him what happened so I did. After that he asked for my phone no. for further questions cause I said I needed to go. He then talked to the American guy and then after that the American guy approached me and went "I'm so sorry about that...my wife and I had this kind of experiences in the past...a lot of this people goes around and tries to get money and more money from us for whatever reason." I said I understand...it happens but I don't think he was trying to scare your wife back there on the road. He just wanted to talk to her as she might not be aware of what she did. He just nodded his head and walked away. I then later told the taxi driver that I needed to go. I had to insist the fare that I owe him cause he was refusing to take it. He looked so worried but kept on thanking me for helping him out. I never had good impression with taxi drivers in Manila but I could tell that that taxi driver is a good person.

nice and funny experiences. although, some are really scary, good thing nobody was hurt. there was an instance when the bus i took going home, didn't realize that he hit an owner-type jeep. the passengers as well as the driver of that jeep were so furious that they all went down and chased our bus (we got caught on traffic then). those passengers all have stainless tube in hand and was cursing the driver, hitting all the lights of the bus (tail lights, front light, etc.) i mean, the driver havent even felt he hit something, he didnt mean it obviously. but the passengers of the jeep were still furious. my fellow passengers insisted that the bus take off and we did, really really fast. it was scary because the jeep passengers even want to get in the bus and hit the driver, which obviously is still surprised at what happened. but they didnt.

well, i had the same experience too.. there was a woman in dirty clothes rode the bus and yes, she stinks.. everyone covered their nose and the conductor asked her to leave the bus immediately.. the woman refused but the conductor insisted to get her out of the bus.. i feel sorry for her.. if only i got extra money that time i would pay for her fare.. there are some conductors who are kind of rude and it really annoys me.. yay!

no i have not witnessed such incidents. still once, when my college bus stopped at a traffic signal, i noticed two people fighting on the roadside for some reason. one of them were caught by the traffic police and taken into custody.

Oh, wow! That looks like a scene from a movie! My worst experience so far happened in a jeepney about 4 years ago. I was on my way to work and I usually take a jeepney as my mode of transportation every single day. Along the way, about 8 men got into the jeepney who happened to be pickpockets. I actually had no idea that they were pickpockets. I just noticed that one of the passengers immediately said "para" a few minutes after the said pickpockets hopped in. He looked nervous while going down the jeep and he looked at me like he wanted to say something. At that time, I was sitting just beside the entrance, I even thought of jumping but I was so confused at that time because I saw how these goons took the cellphone and wallet of the passenger in front of me. Lucky for me, I was sitting beside another passenger and not a pickpocket. The pickpockets exchange seats which made me more nervous. I just kept calm, hoping they wouldn't get something from me. After about 10 minutes, the pickpockets got off the jeep. The other passengers looked into their pockets and some of their wallets and cellphones were gone. Like me, they had no guts to make noise during the process. It was like a silent holdup. The driver told us that he can't say a thing also even though he had suspected what those guys were. I was like, oh my God! I just thanked Him because those pickpockets did not harm any of us.

When i was travelling in the bus.I saw a fight between two families.It was rainy season over here.One girl was siting in a wind sheather and kept the bus window open.Water was coming in and falling on another lady.She just asked her to close the window.she refused.The girls mother started shouting at the other lady.Then the other ladys husband was shouting at the girls mother.

I was riding in a tricycle to a nearby mall when the driver didn't stop when we reached the mall entrance ... curious, I looked at his side and discovered that a man rode on his back and placed a knife at the driver's back and told him to go straight until we arrive at a jeepney stop where he got off to ride a jeepney. It was scary and we're lucky we weren't hurt. Hopefully those in the jeep were safe as well. I'm thinking it was a shoplifter or something
