00:00Meanwhile, commuter or motorist, heavy goods and traffic are allowed to pass through Metro Manila.
00:06According to a study, two cities in the NCR are on the list of the slowest traffic in the world.
00:14We have live news, James Agustin. James.
00:22Good morning.
00:24Three cities in the Philippines are on the list of the slowest traffic in the world.
00:33We feel that when we talk about drivers, not just passengers.
00:44A factory worker in Ricardo, Malabo, from the Monumento in Caloocan,
00:49has two more vehicles to reach his work in Paranaque.
00:53He has to travel for two and a half hours because of the traffic.
00:57He's just about to enter the city.
00:59It's hard. It's really hard.
01:04Because you're just in the traffic.
01:08Even if you're out, you're still in the traffic for a long time.
01:17Mario, a maintenance personnel, also traveled for almost an hour from Malabon to Manila.
01:22That's why he wakes up early every day so that he won't be stuck in the traffic.
01:27It's hard, but it's just hard. It's hard to travel because it's for the family.
01:32It's hard because of the traffic, especially around 6 in the afternoon.
01:36Of course, you have to go home. It's really traffic.
01:39Even if it's just for an hour, you can't travel for less than an hour.
01:44It's like there's no time limit for traffic.
01:46That's what the drivers of public vehicles feel.
01:50It's a lot. It's not even 50 minutes.
01:54Especially in the afternoon, it takes more than an hour.
02:00Sometimes, it takes two hours.
02:02In our trip, it's just a little bit.
02:05It's not too much traffic.
02:08It's just traffic on the road.
02:10In the 2024 Traffic Index released by TOMTO, a Dutch navigation and digital mapping group,
02:1626th is the slowest travel time in 500 cities around the world.
02:24It takes 30 minutes and 44 seconds for a vehicle to cover 10 kilometers.
02:308th is Davao City.
02:32Travel time is 32 minutes and 59 seconds,
02:35while 14th is Manila, which has a travel time of 32 minutes and 10 seconds for every 10 kilometers.
02:42The increasing traffic has a big effect on life.
02:45The drivers earn less,
02:47because they work every day for their families.
02:50We earn less, and we travel slower.
02:54That's how it is.
02:55We'll be in traffic for a long time.
02:58How do you manage the distance?
03:00Just be patient.
03:03Just be patient on the trip.
03:05If we're not patient, we won't get far.
03:09You'll be in traffic for a long time.
03:12You won't be able to do anything.
03:18Meanwhile, one of the options that we've talked to is to ride a motorcycle taxi.
03:25There are a lot of them in different parts of Metro Manila,
03:28but the riders of those motorcycle taxis admit that they are caught in traffic,
03:33especially during rush hour.
03:35That's the first news.
03:36From Caloocan, I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
