QC Commuter Slams Commonwealth Waiting Shed Design in Rain
A Quezon City resident posted on Reddit criticizing the new waiting sheds along Commonwealth Avenue for failing to shelter commuters during heavy rain, specifically at the PhilCOA stop. The post urges Mayor Joy Belmonte and the QC Engineering Department to redesign the sheds for function over form. This issue directly affects thousands of daily commuters along Commonwealth Avenue, one of QC’s busiest thoroughfares, especially during the rainy season. The public outcry highlights a gap between aesthetic design and practical needs, prompting calls for government accountability. The waiting sheds are located along Commonwealth Avenue, including at PhilCOA, and were recently constructed by the QC government. Commuters are advised to bring umbrellas and rain gear as the current design offers minimal protection; the post suggests contacting Mayor Belmonte’s office to voice concerns.
