8. Identify at least three (3) transportation problems that you think the country is facing today.
Elaborate these problems.

 One problem is the traffic flow in EDSA which is the worst in the world. Everyday commuters
spend more than an hour in traveling going to work. This affects the productivity of every
individual in NCR and also hurts our economy. It is analyzed that NCR loses over 3 billion
pesos everyday due to the heavy traffic in EDSA. Even though, actions such as building more
highways has been put into place but they are itself can’t handle the growing number of
population and cars in the Metro. Thus, concludes the only solution to this problem is to
lessen the people in NCR.
 Another problem is when it comes to the modernization of the vehicles. Nationwide, our
Jeepneys are decades old and needs a new makeover as its contributed to more carbon
emission due to it engine not being up to standards, in other words old. This problem
contributes multiple illness and unhealthy air in the environment.
 Last problem is the issue of recent high price of diesel, kerosene and gasoline. This affects
every motorist, commuters and Filipinos. The reason for the drastic increase was due to the
conflict of Ukraine and Russia. The issue limits the borders of Russia, the number one
supplier of oil in the world which creates a fall in the whole economy throughout the world.
The event not only affects the oil prices but also other aspects of life including commercial
product and maintainace of the industry as many relies on oil. In correlation to
transportation in the Philippines, it gives the Filipinos a more highly cost of transportation
fare and also limits drivers in using their cars as they think it is too costly.
