CLEVER BUS DRIVER

This is the time where I will praise a bus driver for his cunning act.

This morning, I watched from the news that two holduppers who victimize public utility bus were arrested. Apparently, these robbers never realized that they boarded a bus they have already victimized before. The driver immediately recognized them. When the driver saw a traffic enforcer in EDSA, he taught of creating a traffic violation to catch the attention of the police. When the police apprehended the bus, the bus conductor went down and told that among their passengers are holduppers. Assisted by other policemen, these holduppers were arrested immediately.

Well, thanks to the driver's cleverness, two criminals are no longer roaming the streets.

I am writing a suggestion. First, that the Emergency Number 117 should be accessible through the use of cellular phones. Second, that Smart Communications and Globe should cooperate with the police and create a number where we can send "emergency text", like holdup in buses so that the police could immediately respond before the robbers could depart. Third, that all buses should put a sign board inside the bus (where it could easily be seen) detailing the name of the bus and the plate number so that in case of emergency, the one sending the message could easily give the reference.

Isn't a great idea? If you know of a public official, please tell him about this.
