Call Center Peepz na naco-commute

[swirlychoco]

Hi guys! through this thread, we will help each other out lalo na sa mga nagko-commute. Safest routes, safest cabs, or mga bus. We all know na may mga shift tayo na sobrang alanganing oras, or baka may alam kayo na routes na iwas traffic, iwas holdap etc :D

If you have ideas din para dun sa mga nag-iisip mag-taxi going to work, especially kung ang shift mo falls between 9pm-6am, we all know na wala ng MRT by that time, so nagtataxi ba kayo? If bus, hindi ba delikado?

you can also post here kung ano mga sinasakyan nyo before and after work, where you get off etc.

additional question: meron ba sa inyo na merong daily cab service? :bashful:

[swirlychoco]

Sorry, my bad. thread should have read as:

Call Center peepz na naGco-commute... tao lang. hehehehehe

[freshbabe]

start shift : 9pm/10pm

i get the cab from baclaran
taxi cab... going to makati...
edsa (route) bale pasok siya ng ayala ave. mkti....
pero pag buendia (route) mas mabilis
kasi may (short cut) na dinadaanan
although pag nagmamadali na lang
ako nito...
pag-bus naman okay din...
pero maraming stop over usually mas available
yung buendia (route) pag bus... sa baclaran
stop overs lang ang problem... pag naka-bus...
yung crowd halos callcenter agents din ang parokyano
ng buslines...
sa ngayon may shuttle na available sa min
papuntang makati...
pero alam ko
prone sa holdap ang shuttle na ito...
pero..."comfort sa pagbiyahe" at menos gastos ito...

;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

yaiiikkssss..i share your agony. kasi magiging 5am na shift ko and iniisip ko pa lang, nabwibwisit na ako hehehehe

i'm thinking of taking a cab papasok, pero mahal yun masyado. Although one of my friends recommended yung number ng R&E and MGE kasi you can arrange for a pick-up naman daw.

bad trip naman kung stay sa sleeping quarters ng 10pm or 11pm and sabi mo nga, may mumu pa yun or worst, bangungutin pa ako. :lol:

hayyyy....buhay call center....

5am shift.... meaning dapat nakaalis na ako ng bahay at around 3:45 kasi mag jeep lang ako papaunta gil puyat. hahahaha

[otakusenshi]

As for me... my shift starts 1:00 AM, before it was 6am, 9am, then moved to 3am, then 1:30am and now.. again its 1am... I don't have any problems during the morning shift since all it takes is a trike and LRT, but during the late night shift or reversed midshift, I have to walk (on a dark main road), then take a cab... ---- i don't know what's gonna happen next month since my account will be moving to Q.Ave... and a lot of incidents have been reported for hold-up men roaming around snatching women's bags, mobbing peeps walking alone... scary isn't?

I'll probably give you guys more updates once we move to that location... hehehe

*Thanks to my current employer who sends us updates of the contact numbers...

I may also suggest you keep a copy of any emergency phone numbers from your company has. We have an emergency trunk line we could contact per site and they would immediately notify the nearest police station and would notify your supervisor / WFM in the event of the delay you would be reporting for work.

[papoo_notpapoo]

thanks otakusenshi :)

Im from Panay Ave (that's the one next to Quezon Ave) and my shift will start na from 5:30am so mga 4am-4:30 am kailangan ko na maglakad palabas ng EDSA para mag-bus papuntang crossing. Walang problems sa paglalakad at pagsakay ng bus, problema ko, hindi uso dito yung mga ilaw sa poste tsaka hindi uso ang tao dito pag ganung oras, laya gudlak talaga di ba!!!

Sana kasi 24 hours na ang MRT!

yung ibang kakilala ko, pag ganung time ng shift, gabi pa lang nasa office na sila and dun na lang sila natutulog, so parang night shift ka pa rin tapos ng render ka ng katakot-takot na OT. Ganun yun.

[Altwegg]

Bakit kasi hindi na lang gawing 24 hours ang LRT at MRT.

I am from Tondo. I've always been in the morning shift, but, starting this DST week, I will be moving to the 5:30 AM shift. What time ba ang first trip ng LRT?

[b_9904]

5am ang unang trip ng lrt

@ papoo_notpapoo: hay nku sinabi mu pa... actually minsan ganyan din ako... pero may mga times *** ma take *** mga natutulog for several reasons nyahaha

[Altwegg]

Hmm. 5 am? So mga 15 minutes from Tayuman to Buendia and around 10 minutes from Buendia to PS.

Pwede na.

[b_9904]

^d kaya. mga 20 mins yun from tayuman and around 18 mins to ps.

[Altwegg]

Early morning (mga 5:15 am) ako nagbabiyahe. Mabilis hindi gaanong nagtatagal bawat station. Iyon po ang computation ko. (Computation eh. :glee: ) Ang sinasakyan ko po ay iyong Guadalupe na dyip na kaagad na napupuno dahil sa mga bumababang pasahero ng LRT.

[papoo_notpapoo]

sana night shift na lang ako para ala problem sa pagko-commute....:hmm:

[kLes02Battousai]

sana night shift na lang ako para ala problem sa pagko-commute....:hmm:

Be careful what you wish for. Hehe! :D Ako. ayoko na mag night shift.

[RIGOR]

mag bus kayo,pinaka the best ang DON MARIANO TRANSIT, yan *** kulay red na bus na byaheng C5-baclaran. kung nagmamadali ka,mabilisan talaga biyahe dito..para kang nasa roller coaster..

bsta tip lang,wag na mag gel dahil magugulo ang buhok sa biyahe

[cartz]

im from timog qc tapos nung 5am shift ko... nagjejeep ako sa q. ave tapos baba ako taft-buendia tapos sakay ulet jeep na guadalupe papuntang makati.... 30 mins travel time ko.... bilis ng mga jeep eh.. parang lumilipad.. hehe..

[b_9904]

^timog? bat hindi ka nalang mag bus then ayala kana.

[b_9904]

Early morning (mga 5:15 am) ako nagbabiyahe. Mabilis hindi gaanong nagtatagal bawat station. Iyon po ang computation ko. (Computation eh. :glee: ) Ang sinasakyan ko po ay iyong Guadalupe na dyip na kaagad na napupuno dahil sa mga bumababang pasahero ng LRT.

hehehe... trust me. d kaya. mga total travel time mo would be 45mins (optimistic yan) kahit may lrt. problema kasi mga bus sa buendia minsan nagaabang pa ng pasahero eh kaya tumatagal.

[papoo_notpapoo]

Be careful what you wish for. Hehe! :D Ako. ayoko na mag night shift.


ok ***. mas ok yun for me hehehehehe :-)

[Altwegg]

hehehe... trust me. d kaya. mga total travel time mo would be 45mins (optimistic yan) kahit may lrt. problema kasi mga bus sa buendia minsan nagaabang pa ng pasahero eh kaya tumatagal.

Trust me. Nagawa ko na kanina. I was at the LRT station 4:40am. They were still closed. They 'opened the gates' 4:50am and I was able to get the first trip at around 4:55am. It arrived at Buendia station at around 5:13am since seconds (not even minutes) lang talaga ang stop over nya bawat station. Pagbabang-pagbaba ko, naghihintay na kaagad yung mga Guadalupe na dyip at puno sya agad dahil sa mga nagsibabaang pasahero moula sa LRT. Nakarating ako ng office 5:23am just in time to get my things inside my locker and to set up my tools before logging in at 5:29am.

Sana araw-araw ganito.

:glee:

[b_9904]

^teka... kala ko ba 5:15 ka sumasakay hehehehe

ps kaba? if so pwede ka mag jeep kaso pag hindi medyo matatagalan ka talaga.

For Makati-based call center workers:

*******************************

Goodbye, Anson
COCKTALES
by Victor C. Agustin
March 12, 2007

The landmark Anson Arcade on Pasay Road is destined for the wrecking ball by yearend.

The appliance emporium will be demolished along with the neighboring Park Square car park to give way to the luxury Fairmont and Raffles hotel complex that Ayala Land is building in partnership with the Dubai emirate.

Friday’s announcement took the Anson’s staff, and apparently the management, by surprise, as the two-story arcade had just finished an extensive renovation.

According to the grapevine, Ayala Land is still trying to find where to temporarily relocate the adjoining bus and jeepney terminal, having run out of suitable open space in Makati’s central business district.

Top on the list is the open but much smaller open car park by the Anson Auto Service Center across the street, but there is resistance within the Ayala ranks since the strip row of restaurants across it had just been built.

Besides, building a bus and jeepney terminal right next to an ultra-luxe hotel chain does not make business or aesthetic sense.

Another option: the corner of Ayala Avenue and EDSA, where the transport terminal could connect with the light rail transit station, the crowd-drawing SM Shoemart, and the open carpark in front of the Intercon.

That option would mean that the carpark building and the boxy, 60s-era Hotel Intercontinental that occupy the busy corner would have to be demolished.

To help underwrite such a major re-development, an office tower block could be built on top of the planned terminal, similar to Hong Kong’s Admiralty station.

[Altwegg]

b_9904, 5:15 am po ako bumabiyahe nung 6am ang schedule ko. Eh ngayong 5:30, umaalis ako ng bahay ng mas maaga.

:D

[merryjazz]

uy thanks kay otakusenshi for sharing these taxi numbers :)

nga pala, include nyo naman kung ano yung origin at destination points nyo para lahat maka-relate:

like for example: timog, QC going to PS

saka may nakakaalam ba sa inyo kung paano mag commute kapag grave yard shift going to DELL MOA? origin is Caloocan or Recto?

[frans_31]

I'm from Novaliches and I work in Etel Makati. Ganito ginagawa ko kaso baka hindi kayanin ng ibang agent.

Uwian ko is 2 pm. It will take 2 hours before I reach Novaliches bcoz traffic sa Quirino Hi-Way. I'll rest my feet for 4-5 then I'll prepare my things, cook my food (kc nagbabaon lang ako para tipid) then take a bath. Alis ako ng 6pm para before 8pm nasa PBCOM n ko. Mga 8pm wala pa masyado tao sa sleeping lounge kaya madami pang pwesto. Makakapili ka pa ng maayos na tutulugan kasi may mga lounge na bukas ang ilaw kaya dyahe. Unahan na lang sa mga lounge na walang light hehe. Sleep from 8-4. Solb ako sa tulog for 8 hours lagi. May oras pa para mag kumain, mag yosi at mag set - up ng PC hehe. Hindi nga lang advisable pero at least; di ka mapipilitan mag commute ng maaga at gumastos ng malaki sa taxi.

similar battle plan, except that there are some CC that doesnt have a sleeping area so i lay a blanket under my station and that's where i sleep. it sucks, but at least you survive w/o necessarily risking your life or your budget.

[merryjazz]

madali sana kung palaging one bus ride lang along EDSA. super bilis ng byahe kapag between 12-4AM. problema lang, kapag sasakay pa ng jeep.nakakatakot lalo na kapag mag-isa ka lang.

pag taxi naman, mahal...

bakit kasi hindi na lang isang 1 shift kapag grave yard...lahat sana 10PM-7AM na lang.safe na sa byahe, sapol pa lahat yung ND.

[ezra is better]

Just wanted to share based on my experience:
The ff cabs have consistent meters (talagang 150 or less ang metro depending on the traffic situation); the drivers do not ask for a flat rate, you flag em and tell em where you need to go and they nod and that's it; no funky business w/ the radio and other devices that speeds up the meter:

MGE
-chinika ko yung isang driver one time, complaining bakit busy yung hotline nila at 2am in the morning on a saturday night. nagpapasundo kami sana pero di makaconnect. he shared "kasi loko yung babaeng operator namin; natutulog pag ganung oras kaya hinahang nya yung telepono para di maistorbo" LOL. so in case you have a hard time getting through their hotline, lam nyo na!
EMP
N&S or N&E? basta green and yellow

Avis and Basic - they're meters are faster than the 3, umaabot ng 180 pero duh ang linis ng kalsada and patay na oras using the same route as the 3 i mentioned
dollar - this is an old company, dati ang rep nila is mabilis ang metro but i don't know if this holds true now kasi i always avoid this cab
wallis - mas malala sa avis and basic!

[otakusenshi]

Wallis nku wag na yun.. sobrang bulok mga natietiempuhan ko... mge, basic at avis eh panalo *** taxi! hehe ganda lagi ng nasasakyan ko

[BluePinay]

Wallis nku wag na yun.. sobrang bulok mga natietiempuhan ko... mge, basic at avis eh panalo *** taxi! hehe ganda lagi ng nasasakyan ko

F.... Wallis taxi... Bad trip sobra! Bilis ng metro. From my office to my house, the usual fare is P100, max na yun. But with Wallis, it charged me P130. Pinagalitan ko. I paid him just P100. Di na siya nag reklamo cause my husband was like waiting outside dahil I tipped him that taxi meter is running wild.

I even threatened him that I will escort him sa LTO pag di sila nagbago.:angry: :angry: :angry:

[rubberr_ducky]

I travel from katipunan to ortigas ave (8pm-4am)

Since maraming construction ang ginagawa sa edsa (fastest way ko sana) eh nag white plains ako.

I used to be a regular rider of dollar pero may mga ungas sila na driver na minsan pag galing pa sa sila sa garahe eh naka flag down mode na sila (so dagdag na ako ng mga 30-40pesos nun) pero ngayon they have a fee of 50 for pasundo (same as 24/7 and basic/avis)

MGE/R&E/EMP/Sturdy/Nine Stars - no pasundo fee..

[stepehenyan@12]

bakit hindi gawin 24 hours ang mrt!? galing sm north edsa. kasi binabayaran ng gobyerno ang consortium ng ayala ultimo mga empleyado ng mrt sagot ng gobyerno for 25 years to pay. kaya yung trinoma na hawak ng ayala nakita mo pambawas sa bayad utang yun sa mrt. magastos maintenace nun kung 24 hours malaki subsidy kailanganin.

[merryjazz]

grabe talaga, ang laki ng fare expenses kapag nagtataxi. hay sana lang magkaroon ng favorable development para naman hindi dehado ang nasa grave yard shift.

[GiN]

from buendia mrt station, anong pwede sakyan papunta rcbc at around 8pm? loop lang kasi alam ko sakyan sa makati... e diba hanggang hapon lang yun.

[Forumspeaker]

People, can i ask an honest question?

Bakit hindi na lang kayo mag cab or taxi service? Let's admit, di ba mataas naman ang mga sweldo natin.

Halimbawa, ako, as an agent, sweldo ko is above 10,000 (di ko na sasabihin exactly)...

we can afford taxis naman hindi ba? Safe pa at mabilis...

[Altwegg]

Hay naku. Nakakainis kanina. Ang tagal ng first trip ng LRT. 5:15 na sya dumating. Na-late tuloy ako ng 20 minutes.

:(

[ryzz29]

im from laspinas and i work in makati.
sched ko: 3AM.. hahaha kamusta naman?

ano kaya magandang sakyan?

ang sinasakyan ko kasi
jeep to baclaran.. kaya lang creepy kasi mga katabi ko mga pokpok ata un kasi mga babaeng ang iikli ng mga suot! hahaha chaka mga pishermen! kasi naman noh.. 2am pa lang umaalis nako.. tapos sa lagay n yun, late pako!

im thinking of hiring a taxi na susunduin ako at home? u think sobrang mahal nun? around how much kaya? feed my mind. thanksss

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g169/ryzz29/w8losstarp.jpg

[malditang_pusa]

So far wala ng hassle sa byahe ko ang shift ko (10pm-7am). Malapit lang ako sa office kaya alis ako sa house ng 9pm.

Ang mahirap na sched yung sa friend ko (4am-2pm). Sa subdivision sya nakatira so ang tendency di sya makapaglakad palabas ng subd. Everyday nanggigising sya ng tao sa bahay nila (around 3am) para lang me maghatid sa kanya. Pagdating sa labas ng subd, magtataxi sya.

Nahold-up din ng TAXI DRIVER ang isa kong officemate. Di nya natandaan ang name ng taxi at plate number. Nakuha ang cellphone, money, at ang pinaka-worst SHIRT and SHOES. Yes, binaba syang walang shirt at shoes sa isang liblib na lugar.

Kaya konting ingat lang po. Tsaka mas advisable talaga na yung mga taxi na kilala ang sasakyan. You can also text your friend ng info ng taxi na sasakyan nyo. BE SAFE!

[lovapalooza]

-malditang pusa, *** officemate mong naholdup, lalaki or babae? kasi kung babae, kawawa naman kung pati shirt hinoldup????

[psyche_22]

wawa nmn un.. well try to be safe enough..

My sweldo is above 30K++ pero I make it a habit to just ride PUJs if I think na hindi pa masyadong gabi or me kasama ako. :)

I agree that call center peeps can afford to take a cab but it is not practical at all. :rolleyes:

Maybe what we can do is do car pool. I used to take a cab everyday with a friend. So we pay less.*okay*

[rubberr_ducky]

from buendia mrt station, anong pwede sakyan papunta rcbc at around 8pm? loop lang kasi alam ko sakyan sa makati... e diba hanggang hapon lang yun.

rcbc plaza kanto ng buendia and ayala? if that's the place na gusto mo puntahan ay sumakay ka na lang ng bus na ayala leveriza from mrt buendia. dapat mga 40 mins before shift ka dapat andun kasi may bad habit minsan yung mga bus na magpuno ng pasahero.

My training shift starts at 11pm so I leave the house at 930pm via FX going to Cubao. Relax lang. Then I get off at P. Tuazon corner EDSA and take the bus going to Ortigas. Then I get off at Ortigas and take my sweet time walking to work.:D To get home, I simply walk to Megamall, take a bus to Cubao, and then an FX going home.

No need for taxis. 11pm-8am kasi ang pasok ko eh. :D Yung ruta ng FX is just 3 blocks from my house so napakaconvenient talaga. Actually, may mas short cut pa na route via Rosario Pasig pero ayoko kasi 3 babaan unlike yung naunang sinabi ko na 2 babaan lang.

[jigsrazon]

swirlychoco, maybe i can accomodate you guys for work. i have a topic about "CARPOOL FOR CCA" but that is only based in ortigas. i just need some details so i can arrange the schedule for those who are interested. anyways i want to give it a try if it will work out or not. as long as there is a minimum of 7 or 8 persons going in the same destination like makati or ortigas will do. pm me na lang thanks!

[supremo elyag]

Ako jeep ok na from home in las pinas to work in alabang. ;) Minsan hinahatid pero kung hindi ayos pa rin kasi mabilis at tahimik naman ang biyahe, pero syempre ingat pa rin kasi dumadami na rin ang krimen sa las pinas e.

[princess_foxy]

safe taxi? MGE, R&E yan mostly sinasakyan ko at talagang ayos sila di pa madaya ang metro.. minsan out of desperation me nasasakyan akong mga pangit na taxi... me ibang driver na abusive na sisigawan ka tapos idadaan ka kung saan saan... haayyy

[shinobi23]

sa mahilig mag taxi..
make sure to get the plate number and text it to to your family/friends before you get it, just in case something happens may madaling hahabulin.. may mga reports na yung ibang mga taxi driver ay holdaper din, lalo na alam nila na sa call center ka nagwowork..

[freshbabe]
