The report further noted that active mobility in the streets of Manila is boosted through “permissive transit rules on bikes, as well as significant cycling infrastructure.”
“Manila is congested and polluted, but a low level of car ownership should help prevent these problems from worsening,” it said. Meanwhile, its regional neighbors were deemed “leading cities” with Hong Kong ranking first, Singapore placing fourth, and Tokyo at seventh.“The potential domino effect of a desolate public transit system is staggering: economic fallout from poor revenue and lost jobs to operate it, increased congestion associated with more private travel, likely more road fatalities, and worse noise, light, and air pollution,” the report said.
But the city sank third to the last in the ranking of the cities’ mobility readiness, only ahead of Nairobi and Lagos.
