Commuters struggle with limited transport under GCQ

Commuters in Metro Manila are facing difficulties due to limited public transport under the general community quarantine (GCQ).

Many have to wake up early and walk long distances, with some waiting hours for buses or trains.

Despite additional routes and augmentation buses deployed by the DOTr, physical distancing measures were not always observed.

Vice Ganda called on the government to address commuter woes, noting that low-income workers rely on mass transportation.

On Monday, June 1, long lines of riders queued before dawn for limited train services, with some walking kilometers to reach their destinations.
