Advertorial: What Traffic Means to Makati Commuters

7/25/2017

 
Helpful data released by the popular application Waze, as collected by the very first Global Driver Satisfaction Index last October 2015, states that the city with the worst traffic condition is Manila.
​

We need an alternative solution. We are wasting so much time on and off the road.
What Traffic Means to Makati Commuters
Be it a student, or a working professional, people from various walks of life have a mutual sentiment when it comes to going around the city with public transportation. From rushing to school, running errands, and even dropping off kids, being stuck in traffic gives an overall sense of dread. To make things even more painful, this is a daily pain everyone deals with living in the metro. Beyond the psychosocial strains, the traffic has posed risks in health due to the air pollution produced by vehicles, both private and public.
These are some of the common collective thoughts and perceptions to reflect on in regards to this urban activity:

1. The Hunger Games: Traffic Edition
Given the many hours spent on traffic with no food in sight, some commuters feel the hunger pangs as time trudges on. While the Filipinos would humor this as a way to lose weight fast and get slim, this fact is unfortunately not a funny one as this constant experience can cause the commuters to develop hyperacidity and ulcers due to skipping meals or delaying food intake, just because the traffic literally is not letting them go anywhere.
What Traffic Means to Makati Commuters 1
“Kung makakatulong sa pagpayat ang pagpapagutom dahil sa traffic, ok lang sana.”

Skipping meals may be an alternative way to slim down but with the many hours spent on traffic, it may cause health issues like ulcer or hyperacidity.
2. Missed Events, Activities, Bonding Time AGAIN? Traffic happened.
Be it as simple as not being able to assist your kid with their homework, a pet whining for hours since its last meal, or being a few hours late for a birthday party, many people have seen how the traffic has taken most of the time they could’ve spent with loved ones. The delays, the missed activities, all because of the ridiculous traffic! Even sadder: the loved ones have come to expect the delays because this has somehow become a norm for commuting.
What Traffic Means to Makati Commuters
“Where are you Mom?  Still in traffic?  I need help with my homework.”

Many working parents dread the time spent away from their kids because of this ridiculous traffic situation.
3. There is “Forever”: Queuing and Standing in Line
Especially during peak hours, public transportation stops like bus or jeep terminals will be crowded. People are forced to wait in lines on what seems to go on for hours, waiting for the next available ride home (on which, unfortunately, there would be times that you’ll be standing for the whole duration of the trip too).
What Traffic Means to Makati Commuters
“Sa sobrang traffic, super haba na ng pila sa mga terminal.”

Bus terminals become crowded during rush hour due to the terrible traffic and commuters endure staying in line for hours.
What Traffic Means to Makati Commuters
Nasaan ang hustisya?”

With the hours wasted standing in line, there can be many things accomplished and given attention to instead of just whining due to traffic.
4. Not so much of a rocket science: Skyrocketed meter rate
If you were the lucky few who got a taxi driver who may or may not be abusive, the traffic is still not helpful with your rather tight budget, as the meter isn’t as slow as the traffic, still trickling on with the time you spend idle and waiting for the other cars to move along or for the road to clear.
What Traffic Means to Makati Commuters
“I could be having fun with my friends instead of wasting it getting a cab for hours.”

Getting a ride home becomes a daily challenge and a dream for many.
5. Mission Unaccomplished
If you were to count the hours you wasted waiting in line and during the ride, you realize you could’ve been done with that school paper, or could’ve gotten some sleep. It’s frustrating to think that you had better things to do than warm your seat for hours. There were just better things to do, and you can’t help but feel you didn’t accomplish much because of the traffic.
 
It’s a modern day fairytale to have a world with no traffic as getting home on time is now a day-to-day challenge for the majority of those dependent of the city in terms of livelihood and schooling. However, some have offered solutions to this commuting dilemma, with offers of affordable living within the heart of cities like Makati.
