00:00There is a new approach to reduce traffic in EDSA.
00:05That is the creation of congestion fee or tolls for passengers.
00:10This is the reaction of some motorists to the report of Vona Kino.
00:16The solution implemented in Motsara is to reduce the problem of traffic in EDSA.
00:21There is number coding, removal of provincial bus, rehabilitation project like flyover and underpass, and others.
00:28But the heavy problem is still related to EDSA and does not advance.
00:34With the help of MMDA President Bongbong Marcos and DILG Secretary John V. Cremulia
00:40for the Five-Year Comprehensive Traffic Management Plan,
00:43one of the suggestions is to reduce the congestion fee or tolls in EDSA every rush hour.
00:49Just like what Singapore is implementing.
00:52We understand that in other countries like Singapore, there are congestion charges
00:58where the city charges a fee for certain hours to bring the vehicle.
01:07This is to encourage use of mass public transport.
01:11The President's answer is that this may not be the right time.
01:15This can only be done if there is an alternative, if our mass transport is already efficient.
01:21We asked some car owners about this.
01:41But the Department of Transportation said that this is just a study.
01:46Another solution that will be implemented to make EDSA more efficient
01:50is the removal of the U-turn slot in the C5 Kalayaan that will replace the underpass.
01:55The MMDA also confirmed that the removal of the EDSA bus carousel and the addition of MRT capacity was also discussed.
02:02If the passengers can accommodate on the top of the train,
02:08we don't see the need for a bus because it is exactly the same route.
02:13In fact, the train is more advantageous because it has more stops than the bus carousel.
02:20In my situation, no. EDSA bus carousel is a big part of me.
02:25No, no. I will just use the MRT.
02:28But MMDA clarified that this will only be done if the capacity of the MRT is increased.
02:34Bonaquino reporting for GMA Integrated News.
