Serbisyo,Hindi Negosyo (Service not Business)

This morning I came accross a sticker that was posted above the LRT's sliding door, it says "Serbisyo, Hindi Negosyo (Service not Business)".

Firstly, i think that lrt management does prohibit any form of non-approved/authorized posting of any relevant material inside the train or station, so this might be a form of vandalism if the terminology would allow.

Secondly, that the individual who posted it must be really  "pisted off" by the upcoming "bongacious" price hike of this public transport vehicle!

I have nothing agaisnt any form of self expression, as what i am doing is one form of it, what troubles me is the logic behind the campaign?? Serbisyo hindi Negosyo??

I was just thinking that, LRT is in fact a business in the Transport Service Industry, it has incorporators, it has investors who shed out money to the country (that until now the government could not decently pay) for us to be able to avail of a particular transport service.

Indeed that LRT Management need to do something to produce funds to pay for their debts in terms of loans from different people/organizations.

I think that it is the same principle being applied by one who borrows money from an organization/individual and then laters on pay for the debt they owed.

If increasing the fare hike for this transport service would be one of the many solutions avaible to pay for the loans they have aquired, then i think that is logical.

If some other people said that "baka kinurakot lang ng iba ung dapat ipinangbayad dyan sa utang ng LRT" then that would be again another story to tell and think about.

But in principle, this is a business that needs to pay for its operating costs etc.. and would need to find solutions to address the problem. If fair hike is badly needed then so be it.

But i think that if LRT/MRT would increase their fare, I think there should be no more BODY WREKING mornings, afternoons and evenings.

Meaning, SERVICES should and needed to improve for the RIDING PUBLIC which is by the way LRT/MRT management your CUSTOMERS.

So i think the campaign should be "OK LANG TAAS PRESYO, AYUSIN NYO NAMAN SERBISYO NYO!!!" mga put-tang-in a glass of water kayo!


Kayo, what do you think??
