00:00A negative reaction emerged when Edsa Busway was just about to leave.

00:05Aisaya Mirafuentes of PTV in Balitang Pambansa, live.

00:12As you know, the Palace of Justice has ruled against the congestion charge against motorists.

00:19While the commuters are not in favor of the departure of Edsa Busway.

00:24It was discussed in Pulong, Manacanang, the plan to impose congestion charges on motorists.

00:33This is the kind of payment that if you enter a city, you need to pay.

00:39This is also the solution to reduce traffic in Edsa.

00:43This recommendation was laid by Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA to President Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr.

00:51Because this is also a way for motorists to choose to use public transportation.

00:58But according to him, this is being pushed by the President.

01:02Because for the President, public transportation in the country needs to be well-organized before the implementation of congestion charges.

01:10This means that it will take a long time to be implemented.

01:14And it will need more consultation and study.

01:20Meanwhile, Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA is also considering the removal of Edsa Busway.

01:27This is what MMDA Chair Romando Artes said to increase the capacity of MRT-3.

01:34But Artes said that it still needs to be studied before it can be implemented.

01:41No, I don't agree because it's easier. It's more convenient for commuters.

01:49Of course, as a commuter, I'm not in favor of it.

01:53Of course, we have alternative vehicle use.

01:58But since I'm a commuter, I also need a bus.

02:02And since it's easy to use.

02:06It will be hard for us to travel again.

02:10As a commuter, I'm not in favor of it.

02:14Nayomi, this morning, as you can see behind me, there are a lot of people riding Edsa Bus Carousel.

02:21And according to the Department of Transportation, it reached 63 million passengers last year.

02:30Nayomi, this means that it serves 177,000 passengers.

02:37Every day and every morning, Edsa Bus Carousel is very busy here in Monumento.

02:43And that's the update from Caloocan.

02:45Back to you, Nayomi.

02:47Thank you very much Isaiah Miro Fuentes for PTV.
