What is one word you can associate with the word "commute"?

When ideally it is supposed to be "convenient," it turned out to be a "headache" for Manilenyos - and even Cebuanos. Majority of the people residing in metro cities are people that do not own any private vehicle. Moreover, several households own more than one and yet in a vehicle that can sit 5-7 people, only 2 are boarded each day going to and from work. Others own bikes that they cannot safely use because of the lack of infrastructure.

There is a lot to say about the public transport system in Metro Manila - a lot of different things to work on too. But until we start rejecting the idea of a car-centric city, change will not happen.

Whatever you have been hearing about technology being only reserved for hackers and the techy is wrong.

Technology gets its value when it is used to bridge practical solutions to the most complex of problems, including mobility.  In the recent years, mass transport has been a huge problem in urban cities including those of first-world economies. Overpopulation and increase in buying power has worsen transport woes in developing countries, and policies on relevant industries for sustainability and quality living has failed to keep up.

But ingenuity and creativity never runs out. This is why we witness projects and startups on mobility introduce revolutionary solutions using technology. Some household names include Uber, Grab, Angkas, Lalamove, and Sakay.ph

It is leveraging artificial intelligence, data science, big data and analytics, and automation to run services that feed the emerging needs of people, and it has also recently been disrupting the transport industry.

The railway system in the Philippines has lagged so far behind, we are counting years of development and Filipinos' thousands of hours lost. 

Riding a train in Metro Manila whether on light or heavy rail has proven erratic - you're lucky when you use the train in window hours where it is not packed and the airconditioning is working well, but on rush hours and early morning travel to work you will find yourself queuing for at least half an hour and riding seem as if it is a battle for your life.

Yet with the ardent push of the Duterte administration to build infrastructure, what lies ahead for the metro's train network?

Roads have always been the main thoroughfares in moving people. All transport modes that run on roads therefore have proven to be the main options to get to places. Yet without a progressive framework that enables more accessible, convenient, and high-quality transport services, the most preferred becomes the most painful burden.

Transport issues on road is beyond just traffic congestion and a hellish riding experience. Find out more here.

Transportation has defined and shaped how cities have been built since the beginning of human civilization. It greatly contributed to how products and services flow in the value chain.

Metro Manila is the densest place in the world, with over 20 million residents and counting. This region is also ranked #2 most traffic-choked cities in the world which begs the question: how did we arrive at this point?

Have you ever been in a situation where you advocate about something you find important and it falls on deaf ears?

Were you at a point where you feel something strong about one thing that you want to influence your peers to it but it gets ignored due to the fact that it's difficult to comprehend, among other reasons?

Sustainability is an idea that looks out for the betterment of all people and the planet but still rings abstract to nearly every person. For an average person, it seems like an ideal way of thinking but it affects them in more ways than they could know.

How can we then effectively unpack an idea that is critical to the lives of the people in a way that is relatable and comprehensible?
