This is Why Public Transportation Sucks in Manila

We explore Manila’s severe traffic problems and ride the MRT, finding it crowded, hot, dirty, noisy, difficult to film, and lacking basic amenities. We also take a public bus and see that buses run without schedules, though they are inexpensive and have air conditioning. We discuss how billions of pesos were allocated for new MRT stations and trains, but technical difficulties and faulty designs have left them unusable, making rush-hour travel extremely difficult.
