Mass transport or transit is a system that moves large numbers of people. Public mass transport, by definition, is available for use by the general public vis-a-vis private transport. Metro Manila is one of the world's megacities in terms of population. It is currently in desperate need of a accessible, affordable. safe, and environmentally sound public mass transport system, which will address its globally notorious traffic congestion as well as facilitate economic development that will benefit the poor majority. But the Philippine adheres to neoliberal policies that result in a privatized, individualized and private car-intensive transport system in urban centers. The only existing government-owned and managed public transport, the rail systems, is also being privatized and has become expensive for commuters. Government default on developing and providing public transportation has allowed small, private entrepreneurs such as jeepney and tricycle operators and/ or drivers to fill in the gap to earn some livelihood. But even these are being thwarted by corporate interests in transport.
