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,

00:53 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.

02:10 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.
