Earlier this morning, I was almost late for work because of the traffic caused by some road accidents. This is one of the many reasons why it is so traffic in the Philippines.
The Philippines ranked 5th among countries with the worst traffic situation in the world, according to data released by crowd-sourcing survey site Numbeo.com.
Roads, vehicles and people. These are the three reasons behind the traffic crisis affecting the Philippines. The director of the National Center for Transportation Studies, Sheilah Napalang, said that "Part of the problem is that people are so impatient and people don't follow rules". She also added that solving the country's transportation crisis can be solved by following four E's, which are engineering, enforcement, education and empowerment.
