00:00Good news for those who are in a rush to do Christmas shopping in Greenhills
00:04because they opened Connector Road
00:06to make the journey to and from San Juan easier.
00:09Chino Gaston is on the scene.
00:15The Christmas rush is already felt.
00:17It's already the day before Christmas.
00:19But traffic is expected to be heavier on Friday
00:22and the last weekend before Christmas.
00:24It's the day of last-minute shopping and going home to the province.
00:28Because of this, the MMDA of Enforcers in places near malls and shops has already increased.
00:35The problem of traffic in Metro Manila is everyday.
00:38But this problem is more felt during Christmas
00:42when people flock to malls and shops for their Christmas shopping.
00:48One of the places that was closed during Christmas is Greenhills in San Juan.
00:52This year, people will be able to reach here faster
00:55because of the Greenhills-West Kramay Connector Road that was opened this morning.
01:00Because of this, people don't have to go through Edza and Ortigas
01:04to reach and leave Greenhills.
01:07An e-trike transport system was also launched earlier in the city
01:11and the ride is free until December 31.
01:14This has a huge effect on the ease of traffic
01:18because instead of cars going around together,
01:25it will decongest, especially in the Greenhills area.
01:29This is timely because we know that during Christmas,
01:33a lot of people buy from Greenhills.
01:36Aside from the newly opened Connector Road,
01:38the extended hours of operation of trains from today can also help with the holiday rush.
01:44Today, Edza buses will run 24 hours during the holiday season.
