The TomTom Traffic Index also rated the Philippines the Asian country with the worst road congestion in 2025, which it quantified as 45%.
Davao City was rated 66.2%, landing it in 12" position out of 492 cities worldwide. Manila was 40" with a congestion level of 57%.
TomTom Traffic Index’s congestion level reflects the extra time a trip takes in typical conditions as opposed to when traffic is light or nonexistent.
Commuters in Davao City averaged 34 minutes and 17 seconds in travel time for a 10-kilometer drive, adding 23 seconds to the 2024 average, according to the report.
Meanwhile, commuters in Manila posted an average travel time of 31 minutes and 45 seconds for every 10-kilometer drive, 10 seconds more than in 2024.
