00:00 There are times when it rains but most of the time, our countrymen experience traffic,
00:05 especially in the province of Edsa.
00:07 It seems like there are no more hours for traffic in Metro Manila.
00:11 So it has a big effect on our countrymen,
00:14 on their daily life and their livelihood.
00:17 According to a study that was done, Metro Manila is the first country in the world to have the slowest travel time.
00:28 Walter has been traveling from Malabon since early morning because he works in Makati City.
00:34 Sometimes, he says his travel time is more than an hour.
00:37 I don't want to go back because I have a long way to go.
00:40 And the traffic, I avoid going there in the afternoon.
00:44 How many buses do you ride?
00:45 Two buses.
00:46 Even if it's just a few places in Metro Manila, there's always traffic.
00:49 When it comes to work, he also faces traffic as a truck driver.
00:53 He usually gets home at 10 pm to his family.
00:57 His security guard, Randy, also travels at 4 am.
01:02 Since he was a kid, he has two buses, a jeep and a bus to Pasay.
01:06 When it comes to rush hour, it's really jam-packed.
01:10 I get home early so I don't get traffic.
01:14 And when it's out, LRT is the one driving.
01:21 Public transportation drivers say they feel the increasing traffic in Metro Manila.
01:28 They see one reason for that.
01:30 The number of buses is increasing but the number of buses is not decreasing.
01:34 The buses should be reduced. The blocks should be crushed.
01:38 We have a lot of buses. We don't have a peace out.
01:43 We can't reduce the number of buses. It's increasing.
01:48 We feel it but there are times when it's really jam-packed.
01:58 But when it comes to rush hour, there's really a lot of traffic.
02:04 According to the results of TomTom's study, a Dutch navigation and digital mapping group,
02:10 Metro Manila is leading in the slowest travel time in 387 metro areas in different countries.
02:17 It takes 25 minutes and 30 seconds to reach a 10-kilometer-long bus.
02:23 It has a big effect, especially on the livelihood of our countrymen.
02:28 We're short of income.
02:30 How do you manage to manage?
02:33 We just wait. We just wait.
02:35 We just wait.
02:42 Meanwhile, one of the best ways for our countrymen to travel is to plan well.
02:50 Because of the traffic, especially here in Metro Manila, there's no time to choose.
02:54 That's all for now.
