The Phillippines' Traffic Problem

Makati Traffic

Why is the traffic in some other countries lighter? Is it that because their driving skills is different? Or are their streets better? Or is it the number of cars that need to be lower? In many Western countries, the number of cars per 100 inhabitants is higher than in the Philippines, yet the traffic seems more cruel in the Philippines. It is one of the main problems here in the Philippines, especially in Manila. There are so many cars on the streets that you cannot go anywhere quicklym it will always take you long time. Workers sometimes arrive late at their work, because of traffic.

The president of the Philippines must work on this matter. I know there are solutions, it just needs a great leader to solve the traffic problem. He has done a lot in just a short period of time. Next should be the traffic problem on his agenda. I think if we have a new train system in Manila, traffic might get better.

I've been to a country which there is no traffic at all, the only time that the cars stop is when there is the signal light. It's the amazing country of Singapore. Plus, Singapore has an amazing underground train system (MRT). I hope Philippines can adopt some of Singapore's great policy.
