00:00Heavy rain and heavy traffic.
00:03Many passengers are expected to arrive at Commonwealth Avenue this Wednesday morning.
00:07Live from Quezon City, we have news.
00:10James Agustin, James, how is the situation there?
00:17Maris, good morning.
00:18Heavy traffic and the heavy rain that we experienced earlier
00:22is what made it difficult for our countrymen to go to work and school.
00:27Here in this part of Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.
00:30Just past 6 o'clock in the morning,
00:32the traffic was already slow in the westbound lane of Commonwealth Avenue
00:37or the lane that leads to Elliptical Road.
00:39Those in the motorcycle lane are also gathering.
00:42In the eastbound lane, the zipper lane opened, but the cars are also in line.
00:46Because of the rain, some motorcycle riders are standing aside to wear raincoats.
00:51Meanwhile, it is also difficult for passengers to ride in the area of Philkoa.
00:55There are also students and those going to work this morning.
00:58Many public vehicles, such as buses and jeeps, are already full.
01:02That is why some passengers of the buses are just standing.
01:04Aside from the many passengers, the heavy rain experienced in the area also made it difficult.
01:12It's a bit difficult.
01:14How much is the discount?
01:16It's only a month.
01:17I don't know how to use it.
01:21But it's okay.
01:23I don't know how to use it.
01:25I can ride it, but it takes a long time.
01:28I have to wait.
01:30Even if you are standing in the bus, it's okay.
01:32Even if it's just for a while, as long as it reaches the time.
01:35Because there is a time limit.
01:37The umbrella is important.
01:39Because anytime, it will rain.
01:47Meanwhile, this is the situation here in Commonwealth Avenue.
01:51This is westbound.
01:52As you can see, there are a lot of vehicles.
01:54We coordinated with MMDA Metro Base.
01:56They told us that they are not monitoring any accidents here in Commonwealth Avenue.
02:02And this is just the volume of vehicles this morning.
02:06That traffic is up to the elliptical road.
02:10Those in the zipper lane are also slow.
02:13But our passengers who are going to the Fairview area,
02:16they are going to the eastbound direction of Commonwealth Avenue.
02:20That's the first news from Quezon City.
02:22I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
