This is the dramatic moment commuters surrounded a jeepney during the morning rush in Manila.

Footage captured by Diza Caday shows office-goers sprinting toward the public vehicle during peak hour in the Philippine capital.

The crowd can be seen boarding the still-moving jeepney, posing safety risks as they hurriedly attempt to climb aboard.

Locals face daily struggles commuting through overcrowded and insufficient public transport systems, particularly in Metro Manila.

Most residents rely on jeepneys, buses, mini-vans, and trains for their daily commute. However, the limited number of available vehicles results in long waiting times and packed rides.

Studies have shown that Filipinos lose over 100 hours a year stuck in traffic, with congestion and transport inefficiencies costing the economy billions of pesos daily.
