Well, Here we go again. MMDA has a new ruling regarding lanes and 60kph max speed at Commonwealth Avenue in QC.
They want 2 lanes for buses, jeeps and motorcycles and 4 lanes for private vehicles.
Errrr!! motorcycles will be joining jeeps and buses? did i hear that right?
AFAIK, Motorcycles are privately owned and we can't join these PUV's in the same lane. Why?
First, as i have said earlier, Motorcycles are privately owned and Second, if you guys from MMDA wants to give us a lane then give us our own lane, Not like this. We can't join PUV's because of the reason stated.
A little bit biased, YES. but to whom? To those private vehicles that we always hear complaining about these undisciplined motorcycle riders. What? As if that they come clean, there's more undisciplined car drivers that these riders. For example those PUV's. Can we call them "Disciplined drivers"?
I'm actually hoping that before MMDA implement new guideline on the road, first they should seek assistance to these governing bodies both private and public vehicles.
My point is, if they want to implement rules, They should implement it fair to all.
If they want specific lanes, then it should be like this, Privates, Motorcycles then PUV's,
Motorcycle can't join PUV's. You guys from there should use your brains!!!

Re: Number coding
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Francis N. Tolentino on Friday issued Memorandum Circular No.04 revising the guidelines for the issuance of exemptions from the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), more popularly known as “number-coding.”
Privately-owned vehicles being used by media personalities on official duties as attested by concerned publisher/editor/station manager, are exempted provided that the written authority is carried and presented upon request, the memorandum stated.
The memorandum also provided that members of the Integrated Metro Bus Operators, Provincial Bus Operators of the Philippines, and Southern Luzon Bus Operators Association are partially exempted, pending review of the Memorandum of Agreement dated July 15, 1996.
The MMDA will grant conduct passes on a limited basis to, among others, heavy vehicles delivering petroleum products; heavy vehicles of messengerial services; heavy vehicles used as garbage trucks; emergency heavy vehicles of power and water companies; heavy vehicles used by the government in the construction of flagship projects; and heavy vehicles carrying perishable goods.
Exempted:
- cargo trucks and other heavy vehicles
- ambulance
- firetrucks
- police patrol cars
- military vehicles with permanent marking
- vehicles for military relief or for emergency
- vehicles carrying person/s needing urgent medical care
- diplomatic vehicles with diplomatic plates
- government vehicles with government plates or Land Transportation Office (LTO) stickers
- school buses with LTO stickers
- official media vehicles with markings
- MMDA-accredited tow trucks
- vehicles delivering perishable goods
- vehicles used by medical practitioners in an emergency
- vehicles on a mission to carry relief goods to calamity or depressed areas
- motorcycles
- Department of Tourism-accredited vehicles.
What you see is the revised number coding scheme with all the exemptions.
But why some of the traffic enforcers from MMDA issues leaflets that informing riders that they are included on these coding scheme.
Actually, hearing these ruling makes me ROFLMAO, why? Motorcycles?? will be included in coding scheme? FTW!! These guys are retards.
I don't know if the new Chairman wants to impress the President, but for me, and the rest.
We are not IMPRESSED..
