MANILA, Philippines — The majority of commuters in the Greater Metro Manila Area believe they're waiting too long to get a ride because the supply of public utility vehicles on the road is insufficient for the current passenger demand, survey results by transport advocacy network The Passenger Forum suggest.

According to the survey results sent to reporters Tuesday morning, 79% of the respondents agree that their waiting time to get a ride is usually too long while 96% disagree that the number of PUVs on the road, including both jeepneys and buses, is enough to service commuters.

The informal survey of 100 respondents was conducted online from July 16 to 17.
