Juergen Freund / Commuters travelling on a 'skate' - a local form of transport in Manila, Philippines. A motorized platform that can hold up to 30 people and runs on the railway tracks. When the skate meets another head-on, the rule of the track is that the platform with fewer people get off the track and allow the other skate to pass, then go back on to the track and move on. 2008
