Aside from being one (if not regarded the most) of the most densely populated city on Earth, Manila experiences frustratingly horrible traffic (and also listed as being one of the worst in the world). So it would only be natural for the Philippine government to... work a way around it with short term haphazard solutions AFTER it got really out of hand. To spare some of the commuters from the arduous road travel, the Manila Transit system was developed. These are train lines that span across NCR and interconnect in some stations. While this may seem convenient, it is a great hassle to make use of thanks to the dense population. Everyday, thousands of commuters use the transit system to get around the city faster but the number of trains operating isn't enough to compensate for every person that takes a ride... leading to really long queues and heavily congested stations. The inconvenience results to impatient, irritated commuters which even makes the whole ride worse than it already is.
