I went to Makati this morning after my shift at past 7am. Let's just say it's going to be the last time I'll ever go to Makati during rush hour.
I took the MRT at Cubao station and I was deceived by the ticket booths that gives the peaceful [READ: not crowded] impression. The real riot is happening at the platform as people who are south bound are so eager to get in. Trains are arriving every five minutes more or less but it's not enough to cater commuters at all. It took me more than 30 minutes to get inside [the people around me literally will push you to get in] the train.
The fun never stops as when I got out of the train in Buendia station at past 8am [an hour to travel 6 MRT stations?!], there's this dilemma on which public transportation to take so I can get to the office in Ayala to meet the 8:30am appointment. I can take a cab and it should be super easy and fast. But there's no cab for some reason. I can take an FX or jeep but the lines are endless. I tried to take a bus but the crowd is worse than the Cubao MRT station. I decided to request that the appointment be moved to 9:30am instead as I wasn't expecting this kind of armageddon. I was finally able to take a cab at 9:05am and took another 15-20 minutes to get to my destination.
More than 2 hours will take me to Pampanga, Laguna or Batangas. I gotta be thankful I'm a QC person.
