‘Tis getting to be fun! ‘I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO BEAT EDSA TRAFFIC’

By Manny Piñol

I have found an enjoyable way to beat the monstrous traffic jam in Metro Manila’s longest highway, EDSA.

Today, while rushing to get to the Manila Domestic Airport for a flight to Cotabat City, I took the MRT3 again from the Cubao, Quezon City to the Taft Station in Pasay City.

That stretch would have taken me at least two hours because of the heavy early morning traffic.

But with MRT3, it took me only 35 minutes and I was already in Taft.

Unlike in my first MRT3 ride where I and my staff had to walk a few hundred meters from the MRT Station to my engagement, today I asked the driver of my back up vehicle to leave Quezon City early and wait for me at the Taft Station.

From there, it only took me 10 minutes to get to the airport.

I am getting to like these MRT rides.

By the way, the boner is all of my efforts to get to the airport went naught because my PAL flight was delayed for almost two hours!
