00:00To solve the heavy traffic in EDSA, the government's target is to put it under rehabilitation from this year.
00:09The opinion of motorists and commuters is divided.
00:13Marisol Abdurrahman is the one talking.
00:19EDSA is the key word for traffic.
00:22No matter what time you pass through here, you will still get traffic.
00:27That's why EDSA is the only one with a forever line.
00:30Because it seems like there's no end to the traffic.
00:35According to the study of JICA, or Japan International Cooperation Agency,
00:39more than 3.5 billion pesos are lost in the country's economy because of traffic congestion.
00:45But this is also a issue for commuters because of the bumpy roads.
00:49Because now, when you pass through EDSA, sometimes it's hard for you to text the driver.
01:00That's why it's time to fix this.
01:02According to the President's wishes.
01:05The President wants us to improve the riding quality of EDSA.
01:11We will rehabilitate the entire EDSA starting 2025.
01:17I think it's about time that we need to rehabilitate the EDSA once and for all.
01:22EDSA has a length of more than 20 kilometers.
01:25Or Epifanio de los Santos Avenue.
01:27And it passes through 6 cities of Metro Manila.
01:30From Caloocan to Pasay.
01:32Because it's the main artery of Manila.
01:34According to MMDA, more than 460,000 vehicles pass through here every day.
01:40According to MMDA, the average travel speed in EDSA is 21 kilometers per hour.
01:45That's why when an accident happens here, the result is heavy traffic.
01:50But what if there's a construction?
01:53If we do that, there will surely be heavy traffic.
01:58So we're expecting that more people will ride the MRT-3.
02:03Because the MRT-3 will not be affected by this rehabilitation.
02:08Some drivers favor rehabilitation.
02:11Because there's a lot of people.
02:13Passengers are crying because the trip is short.
02:17The consumption of time is higher.
02:20But some are reluctant.
02:22That's okay.
02:23But in other routes, there will be traffic.
02:28Because we will avoid EDSA.
02:30Of course, where will other vehicles go if not in other routes?
02:35There will be long traffic.
02:38Because there are a lot of vehicles now.
02:43But for commuters?
02:45For better traffic.
02:48It's better since there are a lot of cars now.
02:53In construction, there's a lot of traffic.
02:56But when it's fixed, the traffic will be reduced.
02:59So that EDSA will be better.
03:04Is he ugly now?
03:06Yes, he's ugly.
03:07Why?
03:08He's old.
03:10But for others, it seems like there's a condition.
03:13Just like this student.
03:15For example, vacation.
03:17So that he won't be affected by the students and the workers.
03:21They should be strict.
03:23They should do it at night.
03:24So that there won't be too much traffic.
03:26Yes.
03:27They will consult with other agencies to make the operation better.
03:32We will work closely with DPWH and MMDA.
03:37It's important for us to help MMDA.
03:41So that EDSA Busway and MRT3 operations will be smooth.
