Many of the metropolitan Manila residents are in anguish with the standards of traffic in the midst of the very crowded city. So many have called for an end to the endless transport issues, and have asked for a solution and funding from the already stressed government. While visiting the city, the traffic is actually so overwhelming. If you want to go somewhere less than a couple of hours away, it is best to walk than to risk the dangerous roads.
The planning into the city's traffic infrastructure is poor and unreliable. The situation has actually been labelled by some as 'Carmeggedon', but the congestion is almost bearable when it isn't rush hour.
There are lots of cars in Manila, lots, and the current solution to the important problem by the government is to build more roads. This leads to other problems such as space. More roads means less space for other buildings and infrastructure. They also cost a lot of money to build. Roads still have their advantages, they lead to otherwise remote places and do what they were built for, to spread out the traffic. Still, this is not a permanent solution and tourists in future years will avoid visiting if they can't get anywhere without waiting an unreasonable amount of time.
Public transport are also in a lot of strain for funding currently, with the continuous increase of population and thus the increase of users. Overall, the whole transportation scheme for the city has had little thought, for the present and future years.
