NewsTranscript
00:00Extended hours of MRT and LRT and fixing the system in the EDSA bus carousel.
00:06This is what the new Transportation Secretary, Vince Dizon, studied
00:10after he tried to ride in the EDSA carousel.
00:14Watch Joseph Moro.
00:19Yesterday, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon tried the everyday
00:24that commuters experience while traveling.
00:27He rode in the EDSA bus carousel from Ortigas to Monumento
00:31until 5 in the afternoon.
00:33Dizon knows how hard it is to commute in the Philippines.
00:39His trip yesterday in the carousel
00:45Because of Dizon's ride in the carousel, they saw a few issues.
00:49Like the confusion of the passengers in the MRT and carousel in some stations.
00:54Even the long waiting of the bus drivers.
00:57There are always officers there.
01:00They are also carrying the buses.
01:02Some of the Districts want the Department of Transportation
01:06to stop the buses in the EDSA bus carousel for 45 seconds
01:12to pick up and unload the passengers.
01:15So that the passengers in the EDSA bus carousel and MRT
01:20will have a dedicated concourse
01:23to separate the passengers in the EDSA bus carousel and MRT.
01:28Have you tried to ride in the carousel?
01:32Especially in Ortigas.
01:34You can just imagine if there is a rush hour in the morning and afternoon.
01:37The MRT, passengers and busway passengers will enter at the same time.
01:45So that is a problem.
01:47They will put signage and barriers
01:50to make it easier for the passengers to pass.
01:53According to Dizon, for those who pass through the EDSA busway,
01:56like VIPs,
01:58It's illegal, so don't do it.
02:01The DOTR will check if they can extend the time of the operation of the LRT and MRT.
02:07Because the time of the LRT and MRT is late.
02:14The majority of the BPO are in Metro Manila.
02:17And most of them are at night.
02:19So we can't reach them.
02:22The DOTR will talk to the toll operators
02:25that they need a cashless system for the tollways
02:29so that the two systems can be interoperable.
02:32But Dizon wants to make sure
02:34that what happened in Valenzuela won't happen again
02:37because of the traffic because of the readers.
