With the festive season looming, shopping takes over, with the consequent flood of people at the bus and taxi stops.
If it was difficult to access transportation services a week ago, now it is much more difficult, Miramar reports.
At the root of the situation are the people off to shop for the festive season before the usual price hikes kick in, it adds.
And there are also those running businesses that are more profitable at this time of the year.
Two-to-three hours wait at stops and terminals is the standard waiting time for transportation.
Even so, Maria Rafael is hopeful of travelling with her cargo.
The increased demand for transport does not mean extra profit for transporters, as they have only limited seats in the context of curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
Some believe that more public buses would reduce the chaos at stops and terminals.
In terms of demand, the afternoons are now as crowded as the first and last hours of the day, previously considered the peak hours.
