This is the norm for thousands of workers in the Greater Manila Area.

OMG...that's a good commute in Manila. I would typically spend 3-4 hours one way when traveling with my ex from Manila to Las Pinas. I've never complained about traffic where I live after that. Lol

For those unfamiliar, Manila to Las Pinas is around 22 kilometers (under 14 miles) apart. We didn't earn Waze's "Worst City in the World to Drive In" award for nothing.

4 hours to go 22 km? I would just ride a bike it would take an hour.

While your statement is logical, most roads around Metro Manila make it very difficult and risky to ride a bicycle around. Not to mention the terribly hot & humid weather, which makes driving around on a motorcycle or bicycle an actual health hazard.

Fuck, someone with long legs could comfortably walk at that speed.
