00:00Traffic will be heavier in EDSA as Christmas approaches.
00:05According to the MMDA, more than 470,000 vehicles pass through EDSA every day.
00:12It is expected that this will increase by 10 to 15 percent in the coming days.
00:17The tightening of the traffic flow is due to the holiday rush,
00:22the sem break of students,
00:24and the return of provincial buses to EDSA from December 20 to January 2.
00:29It is expected that 2,100 provincial buses will be affected.
00:35To avoid a car megadon, the MMDA laid a solution
00:41such as the late closing of malls until 2 a.m.,
00:44carpooling, and the use of public transport such as MRT, LRT, and EDSA carousel.
00:50At present, the average speed in EDSA has decreased from 21 kmph
00:57to 18 kmph.
00:59It is expected to slow down to 15 kmph as Christmas approaches.
