According to the annual traffic index of TomTom, a Netherlands-based company that ranks traffic congestion in 416 cities worldwide, commuters in Metro Manila on average lost a total of 257 hours — or 10 days and 17 hours — in their commute during rush hour in 2019.
The Asian Development Bank also ranked Manila as the most congested city in the region last year, largely due to poor public transport and overlapping government mandates regarding mobility.—Marielle Medina, Inquirer Research
