Hundreds of commuters in Quezon City are sequeezing on a long queue on riding bus during rush hour in the late afternoon of June 16, 2020 and social distancing was not observed. Commuting in the massive metropolis was already bad during the pre-lockdown in early March and it became worse when Metro Manila shifted to the much more relaxed general community quarantine (GCQ).

Hundreds of working class were stranded along EDSA cor Quezon Ave while they are waiting for few busses that will take them home after work.

Metro Manila reopened without sufficient options for mass transportation. Majority of industries were allowed to go back to work under GCQ. However, while most commuters relied on public transportation, the government allowed the limited operation only of train systems, bus augmentation, taxis, transport network vehicle services, shuttle services, and point-to-point buses.
