2003:
Several private firms operate taxicabs and public utility jeepneys.
Cagayan de Oro is famous for having several taxi companies using
Toyota Altis cars. Some also rent cars and offer trucking and hauling
services. Due to rising demand, the number of vehicles is increasing.
February
2008: Traffic jams and air pollution are major concerns in commercial
areas. Crossing the highways is dangerous because some drivers
cut corners and shift lanes abruptly. The glass windows of many
private cars are tinted, decreasing visibility at night. Large
billboards divert drivers' attention and engulf the smaller road
signs. During fiesta, Christmas and New Year revelries,
drunks totter precariously along the streets. People may
throw firecrackers at vehicles. Drivers
of motorcycles wear helmets but their passengers, some of
them children and women, usually don't.
Cagayan
de Oro is famous and much admired for having several taxi companies
using Toyota Corolla Altis. Altis taxi cabs are not found
in Davao, Cebu and Manila.
