00:00As a preparation for the new year, the MMDA has banned motorcycles and vehicles illegally parked in alternate bus routes and backdoor streets of bus terminals.
00:13Even stunts and cartoons are not allowed.
00:15Oscar Oida is on the case.
00:21It's getting tight.
00:22There are even people who park illegally.
00:26That's what happened to the alternate bus routes and backdoor streets of bus terminals.
00:32That's why MMDA Special Operations Group decided to ban it.
00:35It will cause more traffic congestion.
00:38And aside from that, instead of speeding up the loading and unloading of passengers,
00:42when our buses enter and exit,
00:44it will slow down and it will be slower.
00:47In Maryland-Ganton, New York, in Cubao,
00:50several illegal parks were immediately closed.
00:53One car was parked and its driver did not move.
00:58Almost the same number of illegal parks were closed in Irodriguez Senior, near Montenepedad.
01:06Others were closed in Bike Lane itself.
01:10Several unattended vehicles were also parked.
01:14In EDSA, in Cubao, Northbound Lane,
01:18cars parked in front of bus terminals were parked illegally.
01:23Some motorcycles were even parked behind the seats.
01:29In Montreal, parking in the opposite lane was also prohibited.
01:33Some taxis were also caught waiting for passengers.
01:37Some shops were also not allowed to pass.
01:39The seats were already occupied.
01:42Stunts and cartoons were removed.
01:46This should be a safe passage for our pedestrians.
01:50If this will be an extension of shops and food,
01:55it will defy the purpose of having a safe passage for our pedestrians.
02:00The operation of the MMDA today is also part of the preparation of the MMDA
02:06for the reopening of passengers before the new year.
02:11For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida speaking for 24 Hours.
