Traffic Horror Tales | 3 Hour Quiapo Trip

09.26.2019 – The month of September is almost done and as the day goes by traffic has become far worse than you’ll ever think to live in a densely populated area in the Philippines. Every day it has become part of the daily grind for most Filipinos living in a city as things have become gloriously terrible by the hour. If the local mass transportation has not evolved in the last two decades and the dwindling sidewalks that include proper pick-up points were not enough to be taken out by road widening projects. Then things get more horrible than the usual horror stories you encounter every day while on the road in this part of the country.

Train Commuters: Don't Block The Doors?!

04.12.2011 - The MRT Metro Rail Transit has been one of the basic public mass transportation service in the Philippines. How can anyone have chosen to take the bus or the jeepney for something fast and convenient? But the MRT has been showing its age lately since it has been operational since 2001, and the neglect is certainly showing with mishaps and lack of trains recently. Most commuters take the train during peak hours because it is fast and voiding traffic. But recently it has become challenging for the most packed transportation service along with the LRT-1 (Light Rail Transit). But most of the time, it's not always that crowded in certain hours. The mornings and after-hours take that bulk, but recently the trains have taken a lot of hours to arrive and they have not been on time lately.
