00:00 Monday, there was a traffic jam in the commuter and motorist traffic in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.

00:07 We have a live update there.

00:09 We have first news from James Agustin.

00:11 James.

00:13 Gun, if only our loved ones will leave now.

00:20 The traffic here in Commonwealth Avenue is very heavy.

00:24 It is approaching the elliptical road.

00:26 And just a few days ago, there were a lot of passengers who had a hard time riding.

00:31 That's why commuters and other motorists are now discarding the traffic so that it won't be jammed.

00:36 This is the current situation in this part of Commonwealth Avenue.

00:42 Just a few days ago, there were a lot of passengers who are waiting for their vehicles.

00:46 A lot of public vehicles are passing by but they are full.

00:50 This makes it harder for commuters to bear the heavy traffic that they are carrying.

00:55 Just like Michael who is still coming from San Mateo, Rizal and is about to go to work in San Juan.

01:00 The traffic is really heavy.

01:02 How did you discard it?

01:04 I woke up early so that I can reach my office.

01:09 This is also the route of Donato who is from San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

01:13 And every day, he is selling fruits in Divisoria.

01:16 It's really traffic.

01:17 That's why it needs to be done early.

01:19 Just adjust the time.

01:21 The time needs to be adjusted.

01:24 It's not there.

01:25 It's absent.

01:28 Wilbert is discarding the traffic so that he can save money.

01:31 He is a minimum wage earner as a construction worker.

01:35 The queue is long and you need to go early to get in.

01:39 How did you discard it?

01:41 I just woke up early so that I can spend on my work.

01:47 Aside from commuters, the drivers of public vehicles are also affected.

01:53 The jeepney driver, Rolly, has witnessed this for more than two decades.

01:57 Especially during rush hour, it's like the jeepney is chasing the circle.

02:03 What is the effect of this?

02:05 It's big.

02:06 Because instead of going fast, it slows down because of the traffic.

02:12 How much is that?

02:14 I can't do anything.

02:16 I'm scared.

02:17 This is the situation here at Commonwealth Avenue.

02:29 It's a few meters away from the elliptical road.

02:31 This is the westbound lane.

02:32 Our fellow citizens can see this.

02:34 The traffic is really slow.

02:37 This started at 6.30am.

02:40 According to MMDE Metro Bay, the tail end has already reached Tandang Sora.

02:45 So those who are just about to go to work, you can use the zipper lane on the other lane.

02:51 But that zipper lane is where the traffic starts at the middle of Commonwealth Avenue.

02:56 But the situation is different on the other side.

02:58 The traffic towards the Fairview area is really wide and there's no traffic.

03:01 According to MMDE Metro Bay, they can't monitor the number of accidents.

03:06 And this is really just the volume of vehicles this Monday.

03:11 That is the first news from Quezon City. I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
