Manila transport crisis: Commuters outraged by 'leave earlier' advice

A Filipino politician has been criticised for dismissing commuters' concerns in Manila - one of the most gridlocked cities in the world.But Senator Salvador Panelo - the president's spokesman - told commuters if they wanted to arrive earlier, they should set off earlier.One resident told the BBC that it already took students three hours to reach class.

"Manila traffic is getting worse and worse and [the administration] is rewarding themselves with junkets and jets. It's insane," said one tweet.Manila, which has a population of almost two million, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world."What do they mean by transportation crisis? I just see traffic,""There is transportation, we all manage to get a ride. People get to where they need to go.

"There is a solution here, if you want to arrive early your destination, then you go there earlier."

Hi! Salvador Panelo is the Presidential Spokesperson. He’s not a senator (would not vote for this twat anyway)
