The Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation of the Department of Transportation (DOTr-SAICT)<\/a> reported that 23,323,657 passengers have been transported through the EDSA busway from January 1 to May 31, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a social media post yesterday, the committee said commuters using the EDSA busway ridership program in January grew to 6,054,779 in May from 3,864,473 in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Johan G. Martinez, <\/span>Former Program Manager of the BRT-National Program Management Office (BRT-NPMO) of DOTr, the main objective of the EDSA Busway project is to provide a mass transportation system that can sustain 600,000 trips every day. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe 600,000 figure came from the target of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) to open up the economy to essential sectors around June 2020,\u201d Mr. Martinez said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SAICT added that implementing strict traffic regulations ensures efficiency and hassle-free transportation along the busway.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStrict enforcement along EDSA busway is vital to ensure smooth flow and movement efficiency of buses transporting commuters,\u201d the committee said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Violators along the EDSA busway<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the government\u2019s efforts to keep things orderly, a few drivers were caught illegally driving at the EDSA busway last Tuesday, June 18.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the report of <\/span>SAICT<\/span><\/a>, more than 20 vehicle operators were reprimanded and received a ticket amounting to P5,000 due to unauthorized use of the busway.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAng batas ay batas at dapat sundin [Law is law, everyone needs to follow it,]\u201d the department said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the apprehended were 4-wheel vehicles and motorcycles. Some motorcycles were impounded also due to driving without a license and registration. \u2013 Almira Louise S. Martinez<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
