With this pandemic, we have realized that the major cause of traffic in the country are not public transportation. They are not buses, tricycles, nor jeepneys. But they are what you see now.
With private vehicles, there are only a few passengers who can be accommodated which would cause a more congested road. We also notice that many have availed their own cars as they see traveling through PUVs hassle. As a result, people do not save money and worst contribute to air pollution.
With limited public transportation, many have seen the need to buy their own cars, even if they have never planned for it in the very first place. This is evident since the start of community quarantine in the country as the roads are now piled up with new cars.
However, the sad truth is this: even how much everybody would like to have their own cars, not each of us is capable to have one. The poor ones are always left behind. They are the ones who wait in long queues for hours. And worst, they are the ones who are prone to be exposed to the virus.
So, what should we do to address this problem? Or how should the government respond to this?
The vulnerable sector should be protected. But with what is happening, it seems like there is little consideration.

Nicee observation. Well for my opinion balik-probinsya program is one of the solution. I'll also add up to remove the provincial rate. Why? Because the only reason why people tend to go to cities was because to find a work with higher salary. The higher the salary the better for them to save up and live for their own. Thats why they ended up staying in rural areas instead of having a peaceful life in the urban areas. Its so sad that the concept of this was affecting many people especially during rush hours.
Let's just hope for the betterment of the socuety together with the people. I hope everyone will learn from their own mistakes, especially in this phenomenon.
