#Metro Manila Traffic

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has rejected proposals to allow carpooling vehicles coordinated through ride-sharing and mobility apps on the EDSA Busway, citing concerns that opening the dedicated lane to private vehicles would degrade the performance of Metro Manila’s primary mass transit corridor. Despite the firm rejection, the DOTr said it remains open to collaborating with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), technology providers, and civil society to explore data-driven traffic solutions elsewhere in Metro Manila. The move is based on existing Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) regulations.
