Sa dami ng nagtatanong tungkol sa status ng UVVRP for Pasig at Paranaque, tinawagan namin ulit yung MMDA Hotline (136). Ang sagot nila ngayon ay ang mga lungsod ng Pasig, Paranaque at Marikina ang walang coding at ang Pasay daw ay meron.Labo talaga.Anyway, updated na po ulit yung UVVRP post.

In response to several queries submitted to Huli Ka! regarding the UVVRP, we called up the MMDA Hotline (136) to inquire about the cities that have 1) chosen to NOT implement UVVRP, and 2) do not recognize the 10:00am to 3:00pm window.In response to the first question, the cities of Marikina and (surprisingly) Pasay have chosen NOT to implement UVVRP within their bounderies.As for the second

The PNP will be celebrating their 18th Anniversary on Monday, January 26, 2009, so expect traffic to be heavy around that area in the morning. In fact, they'll be closing the area around Camp Crame's Santolan gate between 7am and 9am while they conduct flagraising and wreathlaying ceremonies. So all motorists are advised to avoid area during that time or take alternative routes.

The LTFRB has announced that they will be scrapping their "flexibility rule", which allows provincial buses to pick up commuters in the metro outside of their official route. According to LTFRB chairman Anton Lantion, they're hoping that this will result in a reduction of around 700 buses from the metro's major thoroughfares and drastically reduce traffic congestion.Unfortunately, there wasn't

The MMDA will soon start using portable machines to issue tickets to traffic violators. The machines will also have the capability to remotely verify if the driver has unsettled violations just by swiping their driver's license on the machine. Aside from the obvious benefits of hastening the process of issuing traffic citations, the technology will also help reduce cases of bribery by preventing

According to this article on ABS-CBNNews.com about the increase in toll rates on Coastal Road and STAR, SLEx is expected to implement a new round of rate hikes by March or April due to "road improvements".Can anyone confirm this? Also, based on our understanding SLEx, starts after the Alabang interchange, right? Does this mean that the Nichols to Alabang (and vice-versa) rates won't be included

A major traffic jam was formed yesterday on southbound EDSA after one of the lanes on the Magallanes flyover was closed due to the discovery of cracks and holes on the Pasay-bound side of the bridge. Although the cracks were supposedly first discovered by a group of DPWH bridge engineers at 8am during a routine inspection, the lane was only closed at 11am when local policemen noticed the damage.

MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando has announced that the MMDA has done well in the past year, claiming that the U-turn slots, bus loading bays and the strict enforcement of traffic regulations have contributed greatly to the easement of traffic on EDSA. According to the agency's statistics, the average speed on EDSA has risen 50%, from 21.11 km/hr to 31.88 km/hr, since 2003. Also, he says that new

Hindi pa pala patay yung provincial bus stop project. Here's a shot of the one in front of Megamall, taken last night. Looks like it'll eat up one of the non-yellow lanes.

Saw a couple of vehicles ignore the no left turn sign in this intersection last Sunday afternoon. First was a Toyota Lite Ace with plate no. TFC-231. A Hyundai Tucson ('ata) with plate no. ZRX-778 followed it immediately after.There was also a taxi as well, but we weren't able to capture a picture of it.

Saw these guys last Sunday, December 7, on EDSA.The van, which didn't have a rear license plate, was full of PNP. And the cop trailing them on his bike (license plate no. 4748-PG) didn't have a helmet. Tadtad pa ng police stickers yung mga sinasakyan nila.Nananawagan po kay Director General Razon.

Just in case we forget, December 26, 29 and 31 have all been declared as special non-working holidays. So, following standard UVVRP guidelines, coding will be suspended during these dates. This means that starting Christmas Day until New Year's Day, everyone can use their vehicles all they want to go where they want at any time they want (tama ba english n'un?).

Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa din naaayos 'tong kanto ng Santolan at C.

Ha! Huli ka!Check out this bike cop on a Sunday ride with what I assume is his son. It's good that he values his son's life, but he's in violation of at least two rules that I know of.Anyway, the bike's plate number is SL3680 and the side marking is 33. Hope this guy get's reprimanded 'cos we're all sick and tired of seeing cops breaking the rules instead of enforcing them.

Eastern Petroleum will be rolling back pump prices by P3 for gas and P1 for diesel, effective 12:01am on Friday morning.Unfortunately, the Big 3 still hasn't given any indication on whether they will be following the trend or not, prompting presidential-wannabes to release statements asking the President to pressure them to lower their prices.

UniOil has announced a massive rollback of P6 per liter for gasoline and P4 per liter for diesel, effective 2pm today. According to the report, UniOil implemented this large rollback to catch up with the rest of the players since their last rollback was implemented on October 30.

SeaOil has again trumped the other oil players by announcing a rollback of P2 per liter for diesel and P1 per liter for gas and kerosene.

Saw this sign on EDSA last night.We actually have mixed feelings about this. AUVs should be allowed to use the yellow lanes. Promoting the use of mass public transportation should be a priority and if letting AUVs use the yellow lanes makes the commuting public get to where they're going faster, then it should be allowed. As for cabs, they typically only carry one person (or group), and

Saw this convoy of 2 bike cops, an Expedition with plate number ZBL-788, and a Revo with plate number XLW-309 on EDSA yesterday around 11:45am. The two vehicles had blinkers inside the front grill, which is now the de facto standard after the government "pretended" to crack down on their use a year or so back.

The MMDA has announced that it will set up 13 new bus stops on EDSA for the exclusive use of provincial buses. This was prompted by findings showing that the sharing of bus stops by both metro and provincial buses are a major cause of traffic congestion.Oh no! This means that there will be 13 more spots where you can expect traffic on the already highly congested thoroughfare. Anyway, aren't

The MMDA has announced that armored cars, who are among the most frequent violators of traffic rules, are not exempt from the ban on using the yellow lanes and has ordered the agency's traffic enforcers to go after them should they be caught violating this rule. Drivers of armored cars usually use security as an excuse, citing that they are carrying large amounts of cash and are prone to being

Just found out about this now.Seems like the Las Pinas local government has joined both Makati and Pasay in implementing coding even during the window hours of 10am-3pm. This was first imposed last June. Here's an old article about it.Also, keep in mind that the city of Las Pinas ends once you get past the Concha Cruz entrance of BF Homes on Alabang-Zapote Rd. According to this thread on

Taxis with receipt-issuing meters started plying the streets of Roxas City today. The cabs are also equipped with two-way radios and are driven by uniformed drivers, professionally trained by the Capiz Visitors and Convention Bureau for tourism services.Hope they start implementing the same thing here in Metro Manila para mabawasan yung mga nangongontrata.

LTO chief Alberto Suansing has announced plans to require driver's license applicants to go through a neuro-psychiatric test. According to him, they are currently determining if implementation would require Congress or can be done via an administrative order. He also said that this will definitely increase the driver's license fee but that "it would be a small price to pay to ensure the safety of

The last two players have finally followed the flock. SeaOil has announced a P2 per liter rollback on diesel effective 2pm today, while UniOil will be rolling back diesel by P2 and gasoline by P1 by 10pm tonight.Sige, sige! Hirit lang ng hirit!

After Shell, Petron and Eastern Petroleum implemented a P1 per liter reduction on gas, diesel and kerosene at 6am this morning, two more companies followed with their own rollbacks. Chevron implemented a P1 reduction at 12nn while Flying V rolled back diesel by P3 per liter at 6pm. Read the article here.Hope the trend continues and, dare we hope, escalates. We doubt if the big three will play

Three oil firms (Shell, Petron and Eastern Petroleum) have announced a reduction of P1 per liter for gas, diesel and kerosene, according to this article on the Inquirer.net. The price drop took effect at 6am this morning.Piso lang? International prices are now down to $78/barrel!

The MMDA has announced that the taxis, jeepneys and other forms of PUVs, except for Metro Manila buses, may be banned from using the yellow lanes on EDSA. The move will, according to MMDA Traffic Operations Center Executive Director Angelito Vergel de Dios, ensure an uninterrupted flow of buses on the outer lanes of EDSA, and is being done in preparation for the implementation of the Organized

Transport groups have announced that they have decided to put their strike plans on hold. According to this article on Inquirer.net, they will be giving the oil companies a chance to bring down pump prices in the next week or two, before they decide whether to proceed or not.Is this in response to the calls for a fare rollback? According to LTFRB chairman Thompson Lantion, a meeting with commuter

Finger pointing between the MMDA and the DPWH, as well as the Senate and the House of Representatives and the DPWH (again), is now the trend a day after three billboards were downed on EDSA yesterday.First, while the MMDA has been conducting clearing operations of the fallen billboards, they have limited themselves to those parts which may impede traffic flow. According to this article, Roberto

Three billboards fell down after strong winds accompanying a sudden downpour swept through EDSA this afternoon. According to this article on Inquirer.net, two of the billboards were illegal, as they did not follow established guidelines for billboard size and placement. At least one of them was 80'x90', way beyond the maximum size of 40'x60' as dictated by the guidelines. Also, the companies that

In spite of the numerous MMDA enforcers stationed near Mantrade, they still can't do anything about the buses loading and unloading just after the bay station.Unless they're willing to force the buses (and the commuters) to use the bay stations, they should just get rid of them.

Saw this convoy last night on EDSA around 6:50pm just after Pasay Rd. Two PNP bike cops escorting a whole bunch of SUVs and vans, complete with blinkers and sirens, were speeding on the outermost yellow lane and passed by a couple of MMDA enforcers, who just waved them through.Unfortunately, I couldn't get a clear shot, but the vehicles were definitely sporting green plates (well, those that had

MMDA Executive Director Angelito Vergel de Dios has announced that they will penalize towing agencies who are found to violate their Guidelines for Towing and Impounding. According to this short article from GMANews.TV, de Dios issued the warning after learning of complaints that certain agencies were not following established procedures and have harassed drivers. Unfortunately, no details were

Seems like transport groups are planning a nationwide transport strike covering six major forms of transportation. No date has been set yet, though.We're assuming that the "six major forms of transportation" mean jeepneys, metro buses, provincial buses, taxis, FX's and tricycles. Well, that is if metro and provincial buses are counted separately. If not, what's the sixth? Trains don't count 'cos

So, the other oil firms did follow suit. After Chevron announced their rollback, the others also implemented a P1 rollback for gasoline, diesel and kerosene, and P0.75 for E10, despite the fact that they released an announcement earlier stating that a rollback does not seem feasible this week.But UniOil upped the ante again by announcing that they will be implement a P2 rollback for diesel and

Chevron Philippines has announced that they will be rolling back prices of diesel, kerosene and gasoline by P1 starting tomorrow. Read about it here.Good news, but it's still a far cry from what it was before. Hope the others follow suit soon.

MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando has announced that the MMDA will be replacing their Metro Gwapo tarpaulins with new ones. Instead of BF's serious mug, the new tarps will show him smiling. He also stated that he is using this opportunity to build a "stock of goodwill" and not as early campaigning. Read about it here.Iba talaga 'tong si BF.
