It is said that one of the metrics for an effective transportation and urban planning of a country is when people choose to go for public mass transport system over private car ownership.
This is the same thing with that of Singapore and Japan. While people can very much afford their own cars, they prefer to travel through trains.
This is because of the convenience that bullet trains offer to people who wanted to travel from point a to point b in no time.

In the Philippines however, it's a totally different story. The Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT) both have become subjects of public criticism.
We've heard about so many stories about our problematic trains which instead of being an alternative to the already problematic traffic situation in the metro, it's making the problem of daily commute worse.
As a result, more and more people opt in to get their own cars. Even if confronted with heavy traffic, at least they get to sit in the comfort of their own vehicles.

Problems with train operations failing from time to time is just one side of the coin. What's even worse is that, because of poor maintenance and lack of updates, taking trains could also be dangerous. Take this clip as an example.
