    Last Sat. Nov. 24, I’ve experienced my worst and the longest hours in traffic.
    It’s along Marcos Hi-way to Katipunan. Buti na lang di umulan dahil lumulubog dun. Lahat ng pasahero ko nadala (some are balikbayans from Australia) – Di na raw sila magus-swimming dun – sa bahay na lang daw sila maliligo.

    Left Forrest Hill in Cogeo at 5:15 pm
    Arrived in San Juan (Pinaglabanan)at 9:30 pm
    Distance traveled: +/- 19 kms in more than 4 hours?

    The great news is yakang yaka ng isuzu crosswind ang hi temp in idle with a/c on.

    siguro habang nagtratravel ka from san pedro boundary to susana, nagtratravel ako from makati to filinvest.

    inabot ako 4.5 hours. skyway pa ako nun.

    pero longest hour stuck in traffic was when i was in college.
    from UST to Alabang in 8 hours via SLEX. ang taas ata ng tubig nun sa SLEX wherein i had to walk na from Bicutan to Alabang.

    Fairview - San Jose del Monte, Bulacan (Camella III, Muzon). Normally, 1 hour lang ang biyahe, pero it took me over 4 hours. Grabe ang trapik noon sa Grotto, Black Saturday kasi. Hindi kami gumalaw for more than 30 minutes.

    Worst ko is SLEX, left mamplasan at around 2:00 PM, arrived at Bicutan between 8:00 and 9:00 PM. This was around Dec. 2002 or 2003.

    Christmas rush na kasi.

    August 14, 2007 : 3 hours in C5 from Kalayaan Intersection to Eastwood. By 6:30PM, I crossed the Kalayaan intersection. I arrived at the Eastwood entrance at around 9:30PM.

    Cause of traffic, ewan. Mebbe the real cause was near the flyover. I'll never know.

    Some years ago,- Coastal Road going to Las Pinas/Cavite,- almost slept in my car... approx 11PM to 3AM.... Marami ng nakatulog sa loob ng kotse nila... We waited for the flood water to recede...

    Noong mag-"go" na,- maraming hindi magising, kaya kami,- nag-slalom sa Coastal Road...

    My longest is 9 hours between baguio & manila.

    My longest hour stuck in traffic just in Metro Manila is 6 hours from Caloocan to Mandaluyong. It rained very hard just before I left Caloocan.

    my longest time stuck in traffic was with Victory Liner to Baguio- we had no choice but to ride the bus kasi my bayaw just sold his Altis G. We left the terminal at 5:30pm and swiftly found ourselves in the northbound lane of EDSA. then the crawling started upon entering the underpass of EDSA/Ayala/Buendia and again at Guadalupe to Boni. All in all we arrived at the NLEX intersection by 9:00pm (YAY!) we had a time pressured break for weewee at one of the gas stations along the way, aside from the usual stopevers of siesta and sison, there was another jam in Urdaneta that took around an hour to clear!!! and arrived in Baguio by 2:45am when we are supposed to be there around 10:30!!! in addition to that, the person sitted beside me by the window stinks!!! so i had to go to the back elevated row to stretch and breathe! parusa talaga!

    Noong early 90s umalis ako ng la Salle taft around 2pm. Inabot ng baha. Nakauwi ako mga 4am na.

    Isang beses naman nasa SLEX ako 10 am pauwi ng Manila. Inabot ng flash flood. 7 pm naka exit ako ng Bicutan yata yon. Baha pa rin. Buti na lang may motel. Check in at tulog na. Buti na lang si mrs ang kasama kundi yari ako sa kanya. Nakauwi ng 10 am the following day.

    yung last experience ko ndi masyado matagal yung traffic pero kakainis.

    from guadalupe bridge to just before the EDSA-SLEX flyover/ramps = 1 hour because nag aayos ng railings ang MMDA sa paanan ng ramps (ndi ba pwede madaling araw sila mag ayos). btw, ilang kilometro lang ito.

    then after entering SLEX, 30 mins from magallanes to calamba (more than 40 kms ito di ba)

    sabi ko nga ndi masyado karumal dumal yung pagkastuck ko sa traffic pero nakakainis isipin.

    Santolan Road (from Katipunan to EDSA) - one straight stretch took me 3 hours and 15 minutes. Nung nakalusot na kami (crossing EDSA), to my surprise, wala namang traffic along EDSA and Santolan. May mga police pa sa ilalim ng floyover, doing nothing.
