00:00 The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board
00:03 has asked the transport groups to issue their petitions for high-speed trains.
00:08 According to LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadis III,
00:11 it is easier to study and the chance of approval of a high-speed train request is greater
00:16 if there is only one petition.
00:18 As of now, two high-speed trains have been approved.
00:22 The Pasangbasda group is asking for a Pesong Provisional Fare Hike.
00:26 The other transport group is asking for a Pesong Provisional Fare Hike.
00:31 Before the LTFRB makes a decision,
00:34 they should consult with the NEDA and the consumer sector.
00:38 Remember, dear listeners,
00:41 just cross the right crosswalk to avoid accidents.
00:45 In some parts of EDSA,
00:46 you may be caught by pedestrians who are trying to cross the bus carousel.
00:53 This is Jaime Santos' breaking news.
00:56 [Static]
00:58 This is a CCTV footage of the MMDA in Edsa, Guadalupe.
01:03 This pedestrian is trying to cross the bus carousel
01:06 even though he is not on the right crosswalk.
01:08 He stopped in the middle of the road.
01:10 He is waiting for the right time to avoid accidents.
01:14 He even crossed the concrete barriers to reach the EDSA carousel.
01:18 This is another pedestrian on the right side of the road.
01:21 He is walking fast to cross the EDSA carousel.
01:24 The MMDA posted the video on their Facebook page
01:27 to remind the public not to be patrons of the vehicles.
01:32 MMDA officers have a day to catch the pedestrian.
01:35 But even at night,
01:36 there are still people crossing the bus carousel
01:39 to the sidewalk,
01:40 like this one,
01:41 near the intersection of EDSA and Quezon Avenue.
01:45 On our way around,
01:46 we saw a footbridge being built near the Quezon Avenue EDSA bus carousel station.
01:52 We also met some commuters crossing the EDSA bus carousel.
01:56 We asked some of them why they don't want to cross the footbridge.
02:00 It's hard to cross the bus carousel because it's high.
02:04 This is the fastest way,
02:06 but it's a bit dangerous.
02:08 This is the fastest way.
02:09 At least, we can reach the bus carousel.
02:11 Sometimes, we forget the pedestrian.
02:13 It's faster to cross the bus carousel.
02:16 The people who will be caught on the J-Walk,
02:18 aside from the witnesses,
02:19 will be punished.
02:21 Each city has its own ordinance related to J-Walking
02:25 or crossing the wrong footbridge.
02:27 In Quezon City, for example,
02:29 In the first offense,
02:30 there's a fine of 500 pesos
02:33 and/or 3 hours community service.
02:36 In the second offense,
02:37 it's 1,000 pesos.
02:39 In the third offense,
02:40 1,500 pesos
02:41 or 3 hours community service.
02:44 According to MMDA,
02:46 this will happen in EDSA when their enforcers' duty is over at night.
02:51 Our enforcers' duty is only up to 10 p.m.
02:55 If our enforcers see that during their duty,
03:01 they will be caught and arrested.
03:05 Even so,
03:06 they are still monitoring it using CCTV cameras.
03:10 MMDA and Department of Transportation continue to help
03:14 the people who are being arrested in EDSA carousel
03:16 to ensure the safety of commuters.
03:19 We have ongoing manlift operations.
03:23 At the moment,
03:24 six ongoing manlifts are being conducted by DOTR.
03:31 Jamie Santos is reporting for JIMEI Integrated News.
03:36 Aside from the bus carousel,
03:38 MRT is another main transportation in EDSA.
03:42 The only problem of some commuters is that
03:44 there is no train at 10 p.m.
03:47 This can be extended.
03:48 Let's find out in the breaking news of Darlene Cai.
03:51 From Makati City,
03:56 MRT is driving daily to enter work at a BPO company in Quezon City.
04:02 Because it's 3 a.m. and its shift is over,
04:05 it's already a bus that it's driving home.
04:08 At the moment, it's 4 p.m. until the last chest last night,
04:13 the regular operating hours of MRT.
04:16 It's better if it's accessible 24 hours.
04:18 It's more helpful for me because I won't have to get up or down.
04:23 And it's faster because it's close to me.
04:26 Angelica's wish is also like that,
04:29 that the entry is early.
04:30 That's why she can't reach the opening of MRT.
04:33 It's better if it's 24 hours.
04:37 It will benefit you especially if you're working.
04:40 Because there are working that your work is also 24 hours.
04:44 So it's more helpful, especially if it's expensive to buy.
04:49 Because MRT is cheaper.
04:50 That's not a new sentiment.
04:52 Many passengers have been asking for the MRT operation to be extended.
04:59 The Department of Transportation has already answered that it can't.
05:04 Because there are maintenance activities that need to be done every day.
05:08 We ensure our trains from the trucks, through the signaling and then the power.
05:15 We check all of that so that our train operations are reliable.
05:21 And also the safety that we ensure that we don't have an accident.
05:26 I'm here at MRT 3D at North Avenue, Quezon City.
05:30 After the operating hours, all of the MRT 3 trains are brought here
05:36 to be inspected, cleaned, and if there are any damages,
05:40 all of the preparations that need to be done for the next day of operations.
05:45 After the MRT's operating hours or what is called the revenue service,
05:51 the inside and outside of each wagon is inspected.
05:54 They are also cleaned and disinfected one by one.
05:58 If there are damages, they will be compensated.
06:01 If one of the trains is delayed, the other will be affected.
06:05 So we need to follow the time schedule so that the next day of our operation is not delayed.
06:15 The Philippines cannot afford to operate 24 hours a day trains like in other countries.
06:21 We have a limitation in our infrastructure.
06:24 They have many lines.
06:28 You can turn off one line for maintenance and it will pass through the other.
06:33 We only have one line.
06:36 According to the MRT's management,
06:38 the next steps are planned to make the commuters' travel more comfortable.
06:43 Currently, three wagons run per train set.
06:47 They plan to extend the train by adding four more wagons
06:51 so that more people can ride.
