MMDA chairman Romando Artes and general manager Undersecretary Frisco San Juan Jr., DOTr Undersecretary for Road Sector Mark Steven Pastor, and LTFRB chairman Martin Delgra III conducted the inspection to ensure orderly and safe travel of passengers, and the government’s health protocols against the coronavirus disease were being followed.
“We are suspending the number coding scheme to provide the public unhampered mobility by allowing them to use their vehicles going to the provinces,” he added. The public can also call the MMDA’s Metrobase Hotline 136 for traffic updates and road assistance. MMDA Road Emergency Group members are on standby to attend to road emergencies.
The LTFRB said the EDSA Bus Carousel route would be among the first service lines to be activated in this initiative. Pastor also said that under the Service Contracting Program, bus drivers in the EDSA busway would get P84 instead of the previous P82 per kilometer.
