Hi Krishn,

I can't really agree with you that drivers there should be commended. Although they really are good in maneuvering the vehicle. And yes, traffic congestion in Manila is really bad especially during rush hours and when there is heavy rain, as many streets get flooded.

I haven't gone to India but I do plan to go there this year. How bad is traffic there anyway? And how good are drivers there?

Cheers!

Hi , as per my knowledge in India, drivers will cheat on fares and metered fare is implemented in few places but in India traffic rules are implemented and we do have heavy traffic but not like manila traffic / still under control

(2nd largest populated country

Indian friends correct me if any miscommunication
