Have you ever seen or experienced the heavy traffic in Metro Manila? It takes around 1-2hrs of travel time from Quezon City to Makati City (approx 5 Miles or 8 Kilometers) during rush hours.

You have to allot ample travel time whenever you're driving to work, catching a meeting, picking-up/dropping-off someone to the airport and school.

Arrogant and undisciplined public utility drivers contribute to the heavy traffic too. They just stop anywhere they want to for passengers. Worst of all, they race with one another to the bus and jeepney stops and sometimes cause accidents.
