Is this the world's most dangerous commute? - BBC News

One way to travel in the Philippine capital, Manila, is by trolley. Passengers choose this unofficial transport service because it's quicker and cheaper than other options. For the homeless community that runs the illegal service, it puts food on the table. But it's also incredibly dangerous.

i live in Metro Manila for decades now and I never saw this. I think only hundreds, if not thousands of people use this mode of transportation out of the 12 million people living in Metro Manila. This is NOT the norm. If you ask me, the worlds most dangerous commute are the ones being taken by school children in rural Philippines, where they have to cross rivers (without bridges) on foot, some taking an hour or more just to reach their school.

true the most dangerous commute is somewhere in a rural country in the mountains, where the only safely is a old robe near the cliff edge

[@ayezapamintuan9800]

I live near these railways and this is my regular ride going to work. What's not said is halfway, there will be a downward slope wherein the pushers can ride on as well with the roller-coaster-like speed. But there are upward slopes too wherein during hot days, you can see their sweat dripping all over. And sometimes at night, it feels like a horror train especially when we passby dark areas with thick bushes alongside. The pushers are really courteous, you will surely feel safe on these short trips. The fee is 10 pesos per person (or 0.20 usd) that would take less than 10 minutes.

Fortunately, she was calmed down by others and we safely arrived to our destination. It was a fascinating experience but I would keep it as my first and last.

Well if you ask me. That isn't the only dangerous transportation here in philippines. But for some people living near the suburban city of manila its a practical way to get into your destination to avoid traffic in the road. Its risky. But for some people riding it? They're very aware of the danger when riding those things. If a train passes by and they hear the loud horn from a mile away they just stop and step off the trolley and get off the rail way. Once the train passes by they put back the troly thing on the track and continues. Except for those people living in the poor areas in the province or mountain areas. Some children going to school crossing a river without a bridge and only relying to a rope to get on their destination. Which is far more dangerous compared to those trolleys. Yet again it only happens in some poor areas here in philippines.

Makes me very thankful.

This is my daily commute when i was working in pandacan, i use to live in sta mesa and this is the easiest way to go to my work, and it's very cheap, 10 pesos

and conservatives still oppose socialism.

It never works

@@fishypeelers and these poor people are still stuck way down on the social ladder, shame.... :/

[@MikhaelAhava]

It fails, only makes everyone poorer having no incentive work and where exactly do you get money from? And of course it may lead to a tyranny and corruption. Less government, don’t want them controlling our lives.

[@wyw201]

@John Small Meanwhile the European countries are either selling resources or racking up debt to pay for all your social programs. We asians don't have the luxury of resources so we have to rely on labor and technology to make up that gap.

Hello, BBC...explosion in Paris 1 hour 23 mins ago, not a mention on the news?

[@Amadeus-ms9lt]

It's on the website BBC.co.uk

[@GingerSpy2]

That city should had exploded back in 1944.

[@quinnreverance611]

If you literally look up paris on google articles will pop up about the bakery gas explosion. Several injured. KZbin doesn’t really do breaking news

[@MrCHINBAG]

@TGSUPERCHARGED fuck off prick, it's not being covered on bbc news live feed you twasok.

[@m_v334]

what?

[@Qeisama]

Mad props to these people! 👏🏻 It is a reminder for us with steady income no matter how low and food to fill our belly to be grateful and not to take things for granted.

I've tried riding this trolley before during my college application on a university near the train station, and yes it is indeed dangerous and most passengers were students. However it is the easiest and fastest way to cross from Beata St. to Teresa St. without the hassle of riding on a train plus it is a great help to those poor residents relying on the trolley. My former schoolmate met one accident in the trolley where she fell 20 meters to the ground near the riverbank, she survived yet she was hospitalized for head injury.

[@wackojacko9170]

Listen guys, why don't you start concentrating on news from the UK? There is plenty to report on but you seem to report on every country other than our own.

[@robashton8606]

If you actually watched the news channel you would see _plenty_ of news covering the UK. This is a KZbin channel and, as such, is designed to appeal to a global audience.

[@notnotness4765]

They could atleast report on the yellow vests in paris. Going by what the BBC has said on the issue, youd think that it finished a month ago, and everything is dandy.

[@notnotness4765]

@Tokarev Maybe, but what happens in the western world directly effects your pocket. Thats just the truth of the matter.

[@notnotness4765]

@Tokarev I dont believe you really understand whats actually happening. Try to keep ahead of the news.

Even the homeless mix english and filipino LOL the language is dead

[@Hussein_Nur]

@Lucas Muller Taglish is not a language, fool. You cant fool me. Its a mix of tagalo and english. If i mixed french and english right now, would that be called a different language or mix? Like I said, the filipino language is dead if not dying.

Was that a porche at 3.22?

[@jeannealpe3305]

Tbh its actually fun.. as a thrill seaker my self. When i used to live in the Philippines we used to ride them to go to the rice fields n its just fun.. n u get to see beautiful scenery whilst you breathe fresh air(though ours was in the province and not in the big city)

[@AlmaNunez111]

My Dad took me to the Philippines when I was 10 because he wanted me to see his homeland and that it is part of who I am.. anyways I followed my Kuya to the wet market.. we lived real close to the railroad that also passes over a river. We rode on one of those. It was a bit scary as we went over the river. It was motorized so it went pretty fast. Philippines was such a great experience and I hope to go visit once again.
