- One way to travel in the Philippine capital, Manila, is by being pushed along railway tracks in a metal trolley. It's quicker and cheaper than other options, but threatens the lives of the homeless people who push the commuters in the gaps between the trains.

Passengers choose this unofficial - and illegal - transport service to save time and money.
The homeless community that runs the illegal service put their lives at risk because it gives them some kind of income. But it's also incredibly dangerous as they cross bridges on foot and try to dodge fast-moving trains.

I've been to Manila so I've seen Filipinos up close. They are one of the smartest, bravest people on this plane. Their ingenuity is obvious when they take a bundle of sticks some carriage wheels and turn it into a passenger service.❤
1:12 The dog is so cute. He’s like “I want to help”
Totally insane, really sad, but absolutely fascinating.

Was there in Santa Mesa a few days ago…seems the Trolleys are now pretty much not operating
close your eyes when you're passing through those railway bridges... and better pray there won't be a train coming through... LOL
Fuck! That's a hard life. If only those corrupt in the systems would be ridden of. At least the replacements would create something stable for the economy for the people. Good luck to all
th-cam.com/video/1XFuNHiS_7g/w-d-xo.html that is the fakest news ever… why ride there when u have trains… ? Wonder why?? Bec people dont like to walk the mere few more meters to their houses.. there are other means of trans po u know that.. but these people insist that coz they dont want to walk…
time management i have been watching trains go by almost same practiced only differs in language other models are available courtesy of ingenuity of mankind they are gold for good purpose
I would honestly, enjoy this ride, at least once. I would grab a coffee and a sandwich for the ride. It's like a roller-coaster ride with a bit of risk thrown in for that extra adrenaline rush.
I would only feel bad that it's such hard work.
2:30 that's not a 30m drop .. maybe 30 feet
That's why more fun in the Philippines.
i'm watching these trolley videos hoping to see the house i grew up in. it's right next to the tracks
I love bbc

Better learn English. It's the world's international language
Is that last year or more? because people are not wearing face mask. And the train liveries are old.
I think that at that time masks weren't mandatory in that country, like mine.
This is before covid
I think people who have to push a homemade train full of people for 16 hours a day have slightly bigger issues to deal with than if they're wearing a mask or not.
Still happening

I'm so grateful I was not born there
Believe me its far from the truth. There are people who lives like this. But its mere a percentage… 100 plus million people and they would report the worst as always to discourage people from investing and going to the country. See there is train.. y ride there really? Its the den of the lazy who dont want to walk a mere 20 meter…walk…thats also illegal..
The Philippines now has the highest growth rate in the SEA region. How about Malaysia? The economy and growth rate is declining.
Oh I also forgot, goodbye Sabah 🥴
@@smoothie4448 ???
highest growth on what? The exchange rate from USD to PHP and accumulating debt?
What are you on about
@@karamelflan Philippines GDP growth rate is always at the top since quarter one of 2022. Also, since you don’t know, Philippines debt per GDP is one of the lowest in this region. Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand has higher debt lol.
USD to PHP exchange rate doesn’t really matter. Look at the exchange rate of Japan. 1 PHP is equals to 2.45 YEN. 1 Indian Rupee is equals to 1.77 YEN. See? No matter how low the Japanese yen is, everyone knows that Japan obviously has a lot more higher GDP than Philippines and India.
