Getting Prepared For The Philippines > Driving and Vehicles in RP
For those in the cities. Anyone see the new Jeepneys yet?

If you go through that area on the right day of the week and right time of the morning, guess what? Very, very little to no traffic. Just a matter of timing.

My point exactly! That's true too in other places where out of towners are familiar with the area they drive through.
BTW, wthere are electric mini buses at Nuvali only and only 2 regular Calamba passenger jeeneys at Shop Wise across the street from Paseo de Sta Rosa.

Yeah. And that is also true in populated areas outside of the Philippines. You would not catch me going through Orlando, FL any time during late morning, afternoon, or up until about 10pm on any day. And once or twice a month I would go to Tampa to a dirt track there. Early afternoon, I would drive down Hwy 301 and I-75 to completely avoid the central area of Florida. The races would be over at or shortly after 10pm in Tampa. Then, and only then would I take the shorter distance on I-4 through Orlando and then up I-95 to Jax. With the explosion of Jacksonville, from when I first moved there in early 70s, lucky for me the last 16 years that I worked, I had a position where I worked late evening until early morning. That way I could avoid, to some extent, so much of the traffic congestion which now a days is daily life. And I am not even going to attempt to say anything about traffic in California. Just thinking about that place gives me a headache right now. So, as usual, the Philippines does not have anything on the US or any other places. If you ask me, it is more of a case of something for people to gripe about and some people will never be happy unless they can gripe no matter where they live.

We live close by to everything we need so traffic isn't an issue. We just avoid rush hour traffic and it only takes us minutes to get home. Anyway I don't do any long distance driving out of town like most out of towners not from our area.

Yes of course I was exaggerating, but there are a LOT. Especially when you get down past where you live.
