Mrt in Manila

For years now, rapid growth of commuters and vehicle population have plagued Metro Manila, the center of Philippine socio-economic and political activities. Heavy traffic, pollution and all the attendant undesired results have been problems that Metro Manila have to contend with daily. A case in point is on EDSA, a 24-kilometer stretch from Mac Arthur Highway at Caloocan City in the north of Metro Manila to Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City, south of Metro Manila. Considered one of the world’s highest volume thoroughfares, EDSA is a semicircular ring road link with several radial roads leading to the metropolis’ social, economic and political centers. The avenue cuts across cities of Caloocan, Quezon, Mandaluyong , Makati and Pasay and bounds Pasig City and the town of San Juan.
