The long-lasting effects of what worried urban planners have called the pervasive "car-centric" culture in the Philippines is now evident in the daily traffic jams encountered by motorists and commuters along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.
With the Metro Rail Transit (MRT-7) line slated for partial operations by the end of 2025 - and the current issues facing the government's Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) - it's not surprising that most Filipinos have opted to buy their own cars and motorcycles, thereby exacerbating the problem of traffic congestion along Metro Manila's widest thoroughfare.
