In the chaos of Manilas choked roads, a hair-rising mode of transport has evolved: trolley cars that speed through the citys rail tracks, evading frequent trains and the prying eyes of the police.

No traffic, laughs Henarco, pushing a parasol-shaded trolley along a railway track at great speed. Hes been running these rails for 18 years, and at half the price of public transport and a fraction of the travel time, business is booming. But we have enemies, Henarco says, referring to the high-speed trains, which come every 15 minutes, when someone hears the hoot we just jump off! The trains arent the only enemies for the community of trolley drivers who live and work here. They also face periodic raids by the railway police. Dinner, lunch, everything on this trolley, says Henarco, who was relocated from a shanty town around these tracks, which was demolished by the rail authorities 2 years ago. - Just play, the black screen is just the start
