The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority reported on Monday that there was a significant decrease in apprehensions of violators that utilize the EDSA Busway.
MMDA assistant general manager for Operations Assistant Secretary David Angelo Vargas said that during its early Monday morning rush hour operations from Taft, Pasay City to Cubao in Quezon City, the decrease in apprehension was cited compared the number of apprehensions on the previous days of apprehension.
"At around 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. last week, we have usually apprehended more or less 60 violators. But today, we have observed that there was minimal number of unauthorized vehicles entering the exclusive bus lane," Vargas said.
He attributed the decrease in apprehension to the consistency in the daily operations of the agency against erring motorists, adding that higher penalties being implemented is an effective deterrent since motorists feel the impact of increased fines.
"Motorists are gradually obeying traffic rules and regulations in Metro Manila, particularly the EDSA busway policy," Vargas said.
