Philippines' Metro Manila traffic ranked the worst in the world in 2023
Metro Manila's average travel time per 10 kilometers was 25 minutes and 30 seconds, versus 24 minutes and 50 seconds in 2022. The congestion percentage in the bustling Philippine capital was 52 percent last year. Metro Manila, or the National Capital Region (NCR), with 16 cities and 1 municipality, is home to nearly 14 million inhabitants and ranks among the world's most densely populated places.
The index reported that Manila residents and visitors spent 240 hours –10 days on the road in the past year, enduring 117 hours in slow-moving rush-hour traffic at just 19 km/h. TomTom estimates this time could have been used to read about 48 novels during the 10 days and 21 hours stuck in traffic.
Manila's worst travel day in 2023 was December 15, with an average of 31 minutes and 50 seconds to cover 10 kilometers.
With these, the Philippine Government will build a modern rail network to partly solve the country's worsening traffic congestion.
