Matapos dati ipagbawal ang mga sasakyang UV Express na magmaneho sa EDSA, ang Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) ay lumagda ng memo na nagpapahintulot na silang bumalik sa kalsada.

Ang paglagda ng memorandum na ito ay naganap matapos ang mga negosasyon sa pagitan ng ahensya at mga operator at ito ay ganap na ipapatupad sa loob ng isang linggo.

Noong huling bahagi ng Hulyo, ang parehong ahensya ng gobyerno ay naglabas ng Amending Memorandum Circular No. 2009-019 upang ipagbawal ang mga sasakyang UV Express upang mapagaan ang pagsisikip ng trapiko sa isa sa mga pinakaabalang pangunahing kalsada sa Metro Manila.

Ano sa tingin mo sa hakbang na ito? Pabor ka ba sa muling pagmamaneho ng UV Express sa EDSA?

It is a great news, my hubby is a UV Express Driver. He can go home now early.

The main issue here is discipline. HPG should penalize erring drivers, whoever they are. Violators should be apprehended. Especially those drivers causing massive traffic. Yellow lanes should be used ONLY for public transport.

I commute from Marikina to Makati and ever since UV Expresses were disallowed to traverse EDSA, I had to allot an additional one hour to my travel time since traffic on C5 is hellish, in every essence of the word. I’m glad they’re allowing them back on EDSA. But I do hope they find a good solution to alleviate the traffic situation in the metro.

Its the motorcycle riders they should regulate in EDSA. They have their own lane and they weave in and out of lanes, on side walks and even bypass U turns by squeezing themselves on the small gaps

Motorcylces too. Most of them don’t know that you are not supposed to go to the other lane as that would be considered a counterflow, basta kung saan sila kasya duon sila pupunta, kahit masagasaan sila, iniisip nila kung natamaan sila, wala silang kaso, kasi kung kotse nakadali sa kanila sila pa din panalo. take example Mckinley Forbes.

If wouldn’t be a problem if any of the UV Express drivers actually knew how to operate a motor vehicle. I’m never quite sure if they are just straight out lunatics, blind, medicated, or murderous. The random lane changes, the aggressive cutoffs, the random stops across two lanes… I can’t stand them. It would be entertaining if it wasn’t so frightening.
