This is the chaotic moment desperate commuters running late for work climbed onto a packed bus through the windows.

The coach sparked frantic scenes when it pulled up at the stop in Bicutan, the Philippines on September 10 morning.

Locals who would have been late for work if they had to wait for the next bus battled to get inside the vehicle - even though it was standing room only.

The driver - who had already closed the doors - held his head in his hands as the commuters climbed in through the windows.

One of the commuters, Danny Barrios, took the video of the incident. He said that it has become their routine to climd through the windows every morning just so they can get to work on time everyday.

He added: "The buses are not big enough to accommodate all the passengers especially at rush hour. We don't care anymore if the buses become overloaded as we have no choice. It's the only way to get to work.''
