- Reasons to Hate the Commute

During an aggressive PPP (public-private partnership) drive, the Philippine government partnered up with the massive but extremely secretive Sinauna Group of Companies to deliver a host of basic services to the Filipino people.
One of those services is transportation. The partnership vastly improved the quality of service of local providers—while sparking major changes, such as pedestrian wormholes, shapeshifting bus conductors, creepy ladies in black dresses handing out flyers for condos, and other odd occurrences.
Adapting to change came easily to the commuting population of Manila, but of course the occasional gripe was to be expected. An influencer named Stella Avluela, more widely known by the username stellamaris_, started a list of reasons to hate the commute in Manila and made space for people to contribute their own complaints.
These are some of the more highly rated contributions.
