00:00 Some groups were happy with the plan of the MMDA to ban motorcycles that enter the bike lane in EDSA.
00:07 But the MMDA has clarified their announcement yesterday.
00:11 Katrina Son reports.
00:13 Matthew Flores has been cycling for two years to get in and out of work.
00:20 Because he saves a lot on massages.
00:22 But cycling is not a joke anymore, even with a bike lane.
00:27 It's hard, the motorcycles are also getting stuck.
00:30 The motorcycles are getting stuck in the bike lane.
00:35 That's why he's being extra careful to avoid misfortune.
00:38 On Sunday, MMDA Chairperson Romando Artes said that all motorcycles that enter the bike lane
00:45 will be charged and will be charged P1,000 starting today.
00:50 But earlier, MMDA Chairman has already returned it.
00:54 Yes, we are not yet tied.
00:57 Maybe until we fix the police regarding what we will consult with the stakeholders.
01:06 He also added that the Department of Transportation will make a decision on this to the police.
01:12 For the Filipino Bikers Group, this will help a lot.
01:16 The motorcycles that enter the bike lane will enter the bike lane suddenly.
01:20 Sometimes, we cycle fast.
01:22 For those who ride a bicycle, especially those who ride a bike to work,
01:26 it's a big thing for them to ban those who ride a motorcycle to enter the bike lane.
01:31 Because it will help them a lot in their safety.
01:34 Of course, it's a favor for us.
01:37 Especially on Mondays, there's no LED, at 6 o'clock, there's a lot of traffic.
01:42 It's scary because sometimes, they suddenly brake.
01:45 Our brakes are not like theirs.
01:49 But a motorcycle rights organization said...
01:52 If we are to allocate a lane fit for a car for a bicycle,
01:58 and yet, the number of bicycles passing by is less than 100,
02:01 is it really effective for us in preventing the flow of traffic?
02:06 Because our biggest problem in the Philippines is how do we solve the flow of traffic.
02:12 Rush hour, if only bicycles pass by, the bike lane will be wasted.
02:19 Out of the 100 motorcycles, only two are riding a bike.
02:24 Sometimes, there's no one riding a bike there, so we ride a bike there.
