MOST of our kababayan consider traffic jams as part of their everyday lives already. Whether one goes to school, work or some other location, being stuck in traffic cannot be avoided, most especially in congested cities such as Metro Manila. A recent survey conducted by location technology specialist TomTom points out that Metro Manila has the second worst traffic congestion in the world. This is after the organization surveyed 416 cities around the globe, with India’s Bengaluru City taking the top spot.
