The volume of vehicles plying Metro Manila roads slightly declined with the reimplementation of the number coding scheme on Wednesday (Dec. 1), based on Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s (MMDA) initial assessment.
“Dati kasi nasa Pasay Road by 8:00 p.m., mula Pasay Road ang ulo niyan dito sa may Ortigas ADB [Ave.], pero kagabi nasa Shaw Blvd. na lang maikli na, Shaw Blvd. to Ortigas na lang ang pila,” MMDA Traffic Discipline Office Dir. Neomie Recio said.
Recio said there was also an improvement along the Northbound lane.
“Usually ‘yan 7:30 ng gabi andun pa sa pagbaba ng flyover ng Quezon Ave., minsan umaabot pa sa taas. But last night, 7:30 andoon na lang sa Trinoma, maikli na,” she added.
The MMDA has also met with transport network vehicle service (TNVS) operators to discuss identification stickers which may be available in the next two to three weeks.
“Aaraw-arawin namin ang assessment namin na ito at ‘pag nakita naming hindi nag-i-improve, at patuloy na sumasama ang sitwasyon, that’s the time i-declare namin i-modify namin ang scheme na ito,” he said. – Report from Patrick de Jesus/AG-rir
