Commuting
By: Paula Lucero
Commuting Does anyone of you tried commuting? Does anyone of you experienced to be stuck in horrible traffic cause of rush hour? Does anyone of you experienced getting dumped in the middle of rush hour? (Hahahahah just kidding) so that’s the common issue of social problems here in the Philippines, wherever you are in Metro Manila you will experience this horrible thing. If only god can gave as a power in teleporting, we sure have a high grades in attendance of not being late. Have you ever heard MRT3 ( Manila metro rail transit ) have you tried riding in MRT3? If you didn’t well I’ll tell you the struggle in riding in MRT3. MRT3 is located at the middle of EDSA. It is along Baclaran Station to North Avenue Station. MRT3 has 14 stations such as North Avenue Station, Quezon Avenue Station, GMA Kamuning Station, Cubao Station, Santolan Annapolis Station, Ortigas Station, Shaw Boulevard Station, Boni Station, Guadalupe Station, Ayala Station, Buendia Station, Ayala Station, Magallanes Station, and Taft Avenue Station. It’s the fastest moving transportation along EDSA, it’s way more faster than riding a sport car or any vehicles. If you are in North avenue and you are heading to Shaw Boulevard it only takes 15 minutes to get yourself there, however if you take bus it will take you 1 hour and 30 minutes to be there, see the time travel? You’ll save more time if you take the MRT3. But I am not promoting the MRT3, I’m going to tell you the struggle in this transportation. So if you are a real commuter and you are facing the everyday traffic your first option is probably riding in MRT3 for time management and almost all people from North I’m pretty sure this is their first option too and I’ll tell you that struggle is freaking real! So if you ask people living in Metro Manila if there’s any solution in traffic in EDSA, they will just tell you “It’s impossible” every morning from 6 am to 10 am the cars in EDSA is not moving, you’ll have to wake up so early to be in time to whatever your appointment. Most people are hoping that MRT will save their time but really it’s not helping, you will be late same as the people waiting for their car to move. I’ll tell you why? If you get yourself at 7 am in North Avenue station you will see a four long line of people waiting for their turn to ride or buy their tickets in MRT3, trust me it so horrible, if you get there at 7 am you probably will get yourself to your destination at probably 9:30 am, the long line is just so horrible that you will wait for more than two hours standing beside EDSA with so many moving cars, you have to walk at the very tall stairs, you will get pushed with so many random commuters, it’s so crowded that you can smell their sweat or their breath for being close, i know Yikes! Do you know the most annoying part? You will get there hoping you’ll save your time, looking good and feeling fresh but you’ll end up being late, looking exhausted with a funny smell from whoever, ewww right? But that’s not the only struggle, here this thing called “things inspection” in MRT3 I swear their new machine is not helping improving to save time management, it’s so slow it’s more annoying than to their old ways “Mano-mano” checking, once you get inside the North Station there’s still a line to wait a train, trust me before it’s only take 5 minutes to get a new train but now it takes more than 20 minutes to move! Seriously! That’s really insane, if you are a real commuters Sis! I know the struggle!
