MRT quotable quotes

Heard during one of my morning rides to work on the Metro Rail Transit (MRT):

Train driver/voice over: "Ang hindi po makakasakay, sa next train na lang po; sa next train."

Direct translation: "For those who are not able to get on the train, please wait for the next one."

Ohhh-kayyy, like they have a choice...


On yet another day:

Train driver/voice over: "Umiwas po tayo sa mandurukot."

Direct translation: "Please avoid pickpockets."

As if pickpockets had a big sign over their heads saying "I'm a pickpocket."
