Meet the Manila trolley boys running their own illegal railway - ferrying commuters on handmade carts while risking being crushed to death by oncoming trains. <br /><br />The men haul their rickety wooden carriages - complete with sun parasols - onto the tracks in the capital of the Philippines, somehow managing to avoid the dozens of locomotives that thunder by each day.<br /><br />Passengers pay them 10 peso (15p) per trip, grateful for a way to avoid heavy congestion on the city's roads and dodge higher ticket prices on the actual train system. <br /><br />The trolley boys cleverly memorise train schedules in order to avoid fatal collisions.<br /><br />The illegal railway has been dubbed ''the world's most dangerous commute'' but demand from commuters - including office workers and teachers - is soaring.<br /><br />Miraculously, there has never been an accident between the trains and the pushcarts, which the men need to propel forward like a skateboard.<br /><br />Speaking in the video, twelve-year-old Ronel Garcia said that he can earn up to 200 peso (3GBP) a day for the back-breaking work.
