Leyte Representative Richard Gomez drew flak for traffic rant

Netizens criticized Leyte representative Richard Gomez after he made a rant about  the dedicated bus lane on EDSA.

While caught in a traffic, Richard posted on Facebook what he believed should have been done to decongest the traffic situation in EDSA.

“2 hours in EDSA traffic and counting.

From Makati, Ayala nasa SM Edsa pa lang ako up to now.

Eh QC ang punta ko. 1 or 2 hours pa ba?!

“Ilang bus lang ang gumagamit ng bus lane, bakit hindi buksan during heavy traffic para mas lumuwag ang traffic?” Richard said in his post.

Netizens bashed Richard for it.  They were suggesting that he take public transportation to experience local commuters’ everday dilemma.

“Tangalin nyo nalng EDSA.. dami nyo alam. Anglaing bagay Ng bus lane. Kayo may mga nakaupo ang problema. Puro kayo kuda Jan.. ang tagal na Ng traffic sa Pinas.. hnd man lang ninyo magawan Ng paraan. Kayo nagpapasarap Jan.. mga tao nagtitiis.”

“Mag commute ka muna Honorable para mo ma appreciate ang EDSA BUS LANE.”

“Ito yung mahirap kapag lumaki kang nakasasakyan at marangya ang buhay na feeling mo kailangan laging pabor sayo ang mga nangyayari sa paligid mo. Hindi mo nakikita yung hirap ng ibang tao dahil naka focus ka lang sa sariling comfort mo.”

“Gzto niya ata iopen sa katulad nilang VIP ang bus lane…hahaha

FYI lang Cong…pinapasahod ka ng sambayanang pilipino dapat lang maranasan mo din minsan ang mga nararanasan halos araw araw ng normal na pilipino dito sa metro.”
