Challenging day for the MMDA

There's no easy day for the MMDA NTFSO team.
Watch as they try to instill discipline on EDSA and clear the alternative routes of illegally parked vehicles.

[@GadgetAddict]

The rider seen near the end of this video has already been identified (still for verification / action)

[@jpatpat27]

I'm hoping he'll get what he deserves for doing that to the enforcer. kudos to you guys!

[@TheBlueFernando]

There should be jail time for these types of drivers. Kahit 1 week max lang so they will have second thoughts on disrespecting the traffic enforcers. Bastos sobra

[@badguy4038]

Impounded has joined the chat😂

[@TheBoobieMan]

Looking forward to a video about that guy.

[@babyrage1763]

Looking forward for more info on what happened to that dipshit

[@Prefix1998]

Attempting to escape should result in suspension and/or jail time.

[@ericbangug]

heftier fine + jailtime will do the trick (hopefully). the jailtime will make them think twice before doing stupid things.

[@bosalire5193]

I don't think it was an ATTEMPTED ESCAPE, he FLED almost DRAGGING the poor Enforcer! In some country he could have been SHOT! 😢 KEEP SAFE ALWAYS PO.😊

[@johnraymund1006]

suspension is too lenient. LTO usually suspend licenses only for 90 days. try revocation of license

[@gordadams1837]

big fine + forfeit bike. Make a real penalty to provide deterrence.

[@bosalire5193]

We appreciate your tireless effort in showing how "hard headed" some of our drivers on the road. Keep safe always. Saluye to the MMDA ENFORCERS!

[@user-vp5om3ry4w]

The hard- headedness and being undisciplined of Filipino motorists somehow bring employment to other people, namely: mmda personnel, towing company, lto personnel, and not to forget to mention, your channel. Your channel actually not only brings awareness but also entertainment.

[@jeffmaas9308]

Thing is if you go to Subic driving habits are much better. I see enforcement in Subic for not following right of way at intersections, I see enforcement in Subic for people driving outside of valid lanes, I see enforcement in Subic for people making turns from inappropriate lanes and it works. Without enforcement motorists are undisciplined but it is clear as day that with constant and regular enforcement Filipino's can and do quickly switch to following the rules of the road.

[@rickylandicho3489]

Sir saludo po ako sa panghuhuli na ginagawa ninyo,bilang isamg rider din po SANA PO MAGAWAN NINYO NG PARAAN NA MAGKAROON DIN NG MOTORCYCLE LANE Sa EDSA .SALAMAT PO and GODBLESS sa inyo mga sir.

[@joelpabalinas7457]

When Officers don't do their job, people complain, when officers do their job, people still complain

[@bosalire5193]

Damn if you do, Damn if you don't! 😅😅😅

[@yoshuavillar]

Kudos to that mmda officer bravely standing in front of the motorcycles just to force them to stop. Thats dangerous as hell. One of the reasons they should bring back NCAP

[@GadgetAddict]

I believe NCAP should be returned, especially for mmda, because they had operated their NCAP for severel years without any problems. It was the LGU-private NCAP that was being complained about. But of course you still need enforcers on the ground, because like you saw in the video, many people don't attach a plate or they have a "broken" plate.

[@cherwin7475]

yup, ncap should bring back

[@kawhicurry1644]

problem with NCAP for motorcycle they will just put face mask in plate number

[@yoshuavillar]

@@GadgetAddict yes of course we don't want the awful system from lgu-ncap before. Would you agree that there should be a balance? Like officers can still be posted along select parts of EDSA to catch vehicles with broken plates. But then with ncap cameras in place, they don't need to be risking their safety for 'runaway' situations

[@user_abf92222]

Lot of motorists driving a vehicle whom they're not the owner. Driving violators will be the one responsible for their violations not the owner

[@conyo985]

This is the best thing that happened to EDSA! I've driven in EDSA many times before the bus lanes and it's a nightmare! It's just pure chaos without the bus lanes. But with the bus lanes it's easier to drive in EDSA now. Sure when it's rush hour it's slow but it's easier now whenever I need to turn right into a street in EDSA. Before I had to mind the yellow lane so that I won't violate going over the yellow lane. Now I can just use the rightmost lane and no problem turning right into a street corner.

[@yoshuavillar]

3:08 look at that blue mc taking that wild right turn on the inner lane

[@ronaldthomasiglesiasii6656]

Sudden right turn on second lane without signaling 😑😮‍💨😡

[@neogeijutsu]

Thank you for all of your work. People who run away should have stricter and harder penalties, maybe an arrest?

[@gyozamoney5909]

Confiscate license plus Hefty fine 10k first offense plus seminar

[@miguelbunag3098]

Did you notice the motorcycle that swerved to exit EDSA at 3:07-3:12 of the video. It looks like he saw the MMDA up ahead and didn’t want to risk getting stopped.

[@MrArvirivera]

I always watch your videos and everytime I do, I get infuriated while at the same time, frustrated. Infuriated because everyone knows that the BUS LANE is for BUSES and yet, they chose to willfully neglect it which makes me feel frustrated. In addition, it seems that we are in a vicious cycle which is why I strongly agree with what you have said that raising the penalty will be an effective deterrent. Still, kudos to MMDA and I hope they stay consistent.

[@agentepolaris4914]

Im from El Salvador and these MMDA Officers remind me to a couple of Agencies we have here that do the same labour as them: One is the CAM, Municipal Agents Corps that enforce Municipal Ordinance on every town, public order, and have to deal with market and street vendors. Unlike the MMDA, the CAM uses fire weapons. The other is the Transit Managers, they answer to the Vice Ministry of Transportation which is a branch of the Public Works Ministry, they do pretty much the same the MMDA do on this video.

[@shogunservidad663]

Thank you for covering this. Keep up the good work.

[@JaiJavier]

I love what you are doing. Tip: south bound at the bus lane infront of those luxury cars going to ortigas, a lot of privates passes there, since there’s no more next bus stops.

[@ZenBeeGaming]

If MMDA wants to end this, I have a few suggestions, 1.) Confiscate the license (They need to attend seminars) 2.) Add a demerit points (non-negotiable) to the violator 3.) Implement NCAP inside the bus lane 4.) Implement a higher penalty 5.) Put a metal barrier in bridges (So many violators in bridges because there's no MMDA), its so sad that we need to be super strict in order people to follow.

[@alfredestinor8658]

Kahit wag na lagyan ng barrier disiplina lang.... Nagpapadaan naman sila jan kapag kinakailangan katulad ng aksidente/karambola... Yung mga dashcam ng mga bus pwede na yun sa NCAP lahat ng makukuhanan ng video iseminar...

[@itskejuu]

NCAP + ENFORCERS because if they use NCAP only some drivers will just try to cover there plates

[@therealtalkpinas3145]

Kaya ayaw ng mga kamote na may plate number sa harap ng mga motor nila. 😂

[@ZenBeeGaming]

Wala na tlga pagasa ang dami tlga nagva violate need tlga nila ng hinihigpitan

[@cmdrx5099]

A challenging day is a good day. It makes work exciting & fulfilling rather than boring. Won’t stop, use stop sticks. Flat tire , can’t go anywhere plus ticket etc. Awesome!

[@GadgetAddict]

To some degree yes. But it's never good when enforcers get hurt, just for doing their job. Thankfully someone already came forward to identify the rider.

[@andrei-desu5361]

That motorcycle at 3:09 did a very dangerous move lol, turning right from the left lane without any signal lights. No wonder crashes happen.

[@nilmalabo]

Sana manghuli sila sir bong sa bike lane pag umaga at lalo na sa hapon.

[@toyaz]

More power sir, you are 110% correct about the bus lane. so happy finally the commuters are given their fair share of the roads

[@duanefernando8456]

A slightly grim thought: I imagine there's an overlap of (a) motorists with hidden or damaged plates, and (b) motorists with outstanding violations that escaped apprehension. They need to be identified at the soonest and subpoena'd to a court or similar body. If that fails (i.e. they don't show up), their violation will pop up at the next registration cycle. Their papers should reflect the chassis number or something if the plate matches the etchings. But how are they caught if they pay a fixer for their registration?

[@megsman4749]

Thanks for your work. It seems like no Filipino would do what you are doing. I wish you the best and thank you for loving my country that you would do this. I hope you will keep doing this.

[@darkinsect6767]

tanga pinagkakakitaan nga nya ung kapwa mo pilipino sino ba naman gusto gumawa ilaglag mo kababayan mo??? kaya sya lang gumagawa nyan dahil wala nmn talaga pakealam yan sa mga pinoy and2 lang yan para gawin kayo content mga inutil ginagatasan lang kayo nyan tuwang tuwa naman kayo

[@bochog7587]

Continue more of Edsa bus lanes ticketing. Love your Edsa bus videos 👍👍👍👍👍

[@veriitas33]

come on PH make the law harder for these people who runs away. This is why criminals are always getting away.

[@ashikagamika]

Full of accomplishments! Kudos to y'all, MMDA!

[@bentot45]

Goooood morning Team MMDA and GA 😸👍 stay safe and thanks for the vlogs. Still alot of DILAG and KAMOT ulo gang 🤣

[@eugenetan2126]

The bus way system is one of the best move the gov’t has done. We always complain before of buses swerving in and out of traffic. This solves it. Let us give it to them already as their share of the road. Let us share of what is left and give way to each other. Hopefully, even private armored vehicles with police escorts observe this as well and those bearing various security plate vehicles. Kudos to MMDA and to Col. Bong Nebrija tireless efforts! 😎👍👍👍

[@Dtonmanph]

Kahit bigyan mo 10years yan, forever ganyan pa din Yan kung hindi gagawan ng ibang solution. Sayang effort nila and nagpapagod lang sa Wala. We need to make penalties so much heavier that no one would dare violate na din talaga. Saua

[@RobinMancenido]

Kaya pala sumikip sa ADB. Thanks sa info GA

[@TheMartian1989]

The one that commented to maximize bus lane with motorbikes is S2pid as hell.

[@DOI_ARTS]

A moron maybe, 3 lanes are already available for other vehicles then still want to take an exclusive for buses

[@jcnbw01]

that skinny MMDA enforcer that constantly steps in front of those attempting to escape... he needs a bigger pair of pants to hold those enormous cojones 💪

[@jeffmaas9308]

We might not need full coverage but moving coverage is needed. In most countries there are officers driving in traffic that pull people over for violating laws and not just stationary officers waiting to see people break laws. Mobile officers get to see people make lane changes without signals, making turns from inappropriate lanes, driving without dare care and caution, cutting people off, not sharing the road and people who are obviously intoxicated. Having officers in traffic that pull people over from breaking rules is common place and expected. Official vehicles aren't just for transporting officers and then parking they can and should be used to travel within the traffic and to monitor and enforce.

[@KenshinHimura23]

💯

[@naig3747]

Hello Gadget Addict big fan of your channel. Hope that MMDA also visit taguig area or C5 at least

[@motocreep19]

3:02 what's with that rider, coming from inner lane then making a sharp right turn, that's very dangerous.

[@dantedelatorre6577]

Gud move mga sir and sorry nman sa mga mang lalabag YARI KAYO NGAYUN

[@Dtonmanph]

Dont expect drastic improvements if we dont try to make drastic changes with the penalties etc. Perfect example: Never ending bus lane + no loading unloading violations by buses during pre pandemic and look at it now..

[@DopeyDopes]

Grabe ang kawalan ng disiplina

[@jakeignaya526]

❤❤❤ thank you Sir GodblessyOu

[@brian24777]

Thanks for Bus Lane vids.. more more more . 🚌😁👌 ...

[@jaspertamayo2124]

Kudos!!! A lot of KAMOTE DRIVERS sa Edsa Bus lane. Sana ma sample naman yung mga private vehicle na may mga escorts ✌️

[@domingosabog2723]

Here in Sydney Australia.Motorcyclists,Hired CAS and Taxis are allowed to used the Bus Lane.Bus Lane only are from 7 to 10 AM them 3 to 7 PM on Weekdays.But the problem in Metro Manila are there are too many motorcyclists.

[@ashkevron23]

Great job, MMDA. Keep it up

[@isthishandleavailableyes]

4:27 was so funny. Yan ang hirap i pupush talaga yung maka benefit sila kahit delikado.

[@red8615]

mmda guardians of the road. May you be guided with iron fist with compasion. Godspeed

[@kevinhardin5484]

Change the law. If you try to run from the enforcers automatic impound and suspension of license for 6 months. The only way people will follow the law is stiffer penalties.

[@hyperkid21]

dapat yan sa second offense multiplied by 10. laki ng kikitain ng gobyerno sa ganun. hindi na kailangan mangutang para sa yearly budget

[@RampartPh]

Is the U-turn slot in front of camp aguinaldo and camp crame open for light vehicles? I've been seeing road signs saying It's open for usage for cars and suvs but it is confusing.

[@Jomster777]

Can you post the video of the guy who ditched the enforcers once they catch him? That way we can see what happens when someone does that and will hopefully become a deterrent for those who will think of doing that in the future.

[@jglolarga]

It's really about RESPECT FOR THE LAW, even without someone watching. Sadly, many Filipinos have little of this.

[@mickeymouse7529]

Who ever said they should let bikes and cars in the bus lane is mental. Nakaka takot yan ah ibang klas mag isip 😅 good job sa mag huli sa mga jaaan laaang akoo gang members

[@useemehere2]

nice video coverage

[@JeGZ.]

remove the bike lane on EDSA, set them in the secondary roads for their own safety also put barrier on bus lane so that motorist will not pass through that lane. make traffic solutions not just apprehensions. minsan po kasi nasa pisikal na kalsada ang problema, kulang sa mga tamang signs(ito po yung tama ang laki, posisyon sa lugar-for visibility) to guide motorist, hindi yung hinihintay ka ng mga enforcer na magkamali at dun huhulihin ka.

[@urchinsify]

Bigger penalty, bigger signs.. There's a dozen different little things that would make a huge impact on our roads. This "mano-mano" enforcement is not the brightest nor the most efficient way to enforce traffic. We need to step up our enforcement because the current situation is working but could clearly be improved.

[@stuckinparadise9676]

Indonesia, particularly Jakarta, has already implemented dedicated bus lanes many years ago. Here, especially during Duterte's time, it's still a novelty.

[@natsterjam]

Here in the UK in the citys of both Bristol and Bath Motorcycles are allowed to use the bus lanes with great success!

[@GadgetAddict]

I've lost count of the number of MCs that have been hit by buses in the bus lane. Or worse, caused the bus to crash into something else, while trying to avoid a rider that suddenly entered without checking his mirrors first 🤦 And with a daily volume of ~150,000 MC on that highway, it would really cause a big problem if you suddenly allowed MCs into the exclusive bus lane. Maybe it can work in some parts of the world, depending on the volume, speed, competency of drivers or riders etc etc. But for EDSA? 😅

[@natsterjam]

@@GadgetAddict Yeah, I agree that it can't work everywhere my friend, I was just highlighting that it can work. I use the bus lanes in and around Bristol and Bath to great effect and of course riding safely in ANY lane is my priority. 👊🏼

[@natsterjam]

@@tastemate3300 Yep! Like I said. For the record I am not trying to start an arguement or disagree with anyone, I am merely stating that elsewhere it can work. Peace 👊🏼

[@ezmoney25]

now that's what you called road efficiency not just trying to milk and capitalizing idle lanes like bus and bike lanes

[@jeffchua7961]

I wish the EDSA Bus Lane be replicated in other major streets.

[@anthonyalcazar3120]

Why can't they raise the violation fee? 1k is so small, too many violators already. Maybe for alternatives the MMDA or the government should make an AD for the bus lane of who are allowed to go in the bus lane. Maybe they can put up a billboard. It's just a suggestion.

[@gh-xv1ch]

sayang, hindi na kasi ako madalas mag edsa, pero gusto ko makita and harangan mga motor. nakakatuwa kaya.

[@robiesubida2839]

Pati bike lane sa edsa na may wala p cgrong 1% na bike na gumagamit ng kalsada sa araw araw pero binigyan ng priority gang ngaun khit wala ng pandemic. Sayang imbis n nadadaanan ng mga nka single bawas siksikan sana s mga nka 4wheels

[@oliverdinglasan3268]

What actually makes these efforts more difficult is that, on top of enforcement challenges, the MMDA is trying to change the citizenry's driving culture. It will take time and a lot of resolve on the part of MMDA.

[@janmichaelalfonso2818]

Hi I have a question you said that if there is a lane assign to the road like bike lane then why do we have a motorcycle lane but no one is enforcing it?

[@reynaldoflores4522]

12:19 Mr. Addict, maybe they should equip the enforcers with throw-nets to use against escaping violators. They'll have a difficult time running away if they get entangled in the net.

[@legionheart8608]

I agree with you about stiff penalties for infractions. Have to make them realize it cost more to break the law then to do what is right. I think most violators do what they do because the penalty is not that stiff.

[@isabelahere2498]

Long ago, the four lanes lived in harmony. But, everything changed when the kamote drivers attacked 🔥

[@umaitotxharuichiVlog]

Wag po kayo matakot mamatay, ang katawang panlupa ay pansamantala lng dito sa Mundo. Matakot po kayo sa Diyos, kapag Hindi kayo magbagong Buhay.

[@olivermayer6628]

To improve the situation for motorcycles, you could take one lane and make it an exclusive lane. There will still be enough space for cars.

[@rommeljusto9140]

Nice sir gadget, taasan ang multa po sana

[@jango3157]

Jail time or Canning should be inforced from these type of drivers/riders.

[@rumblemoto7564]

For major traffic offenses, implement high fine charges and automatically suspend the license from a month to being completely revoked depending on the violation.

[@rolandocarbajal3300]

subukang magdagdag ng bike lane sa lahat ng kalsada; tutal, marami naman ang nakabisikleta tuwing papasok sa trabaho.

Dapat nga sakanila yan ayaw sumonod batas tapiko revoke lisensya nila

[@Scottishpinoy]

They are so hard headed ..maybe it’s time to increase the penalty,impound their cars or motorcycles and suspend their licence for a year because it’s really annoying…they have no respect 😤

[@markgibson1378]

Increase the fines more to give a bigger deterrant.... increase the impound charge and include a daily 'storage' fee... revoke license of repeat offenders

[@evrar18]

Because the mindset of the riders is they are always on a hurry and need to overtake all other vehicles.

[@topethermohenes7658]

They lack brakes too and shouldn't stopped even if they don't have right of way. Don't forget the "ma bait naman sya na tao" when they get into an accident. It's all in the kamote handbook

[@vinxmoto]

please also operate the exclusive motor cycle line in commonwealth. we cant drive freely there, because public and private vehicle was always taking over the line . thank you ^^

[@mychal4895]

excellent job mmda!!👍👍

[@KarlMKPOV]

Went to driving school, passed exams/practicals and LTO exams/practicals. I told myself as a newbie driver its easy to follow the road rules, until there's instances that its hard to comply lmao. That's true, there are no such thing as perfect drivers. If you get caught, then face the consequences of your actions for goodness sake. 11:08

Letting motorcycles on the bus lane is like signing a death contract with jesus or satan stating "by signing this contract, a rider/riders life may or may not be taken at any point of time while they are in the bus lane"

[@CodyInGames]

Good Job To I Act🎉🏆🥇

[@lawrdgahd8816]

I'm pretty sure a lot of those people who are complaining about the bus lane are those people who have cars and are stuck with the heavy traffic along EDSA. They're pretty much jealous na yung mga regular commuter sa EDSA e mas mabilis yung byahe kesa sakanila. They are also the ones who post and share stuff like "Kawawa naman yung mga commuters natin. They don't deserve this." kasama yung nirerecycle na picture na may mahabang pila sa bus lane or MRT, pero ayaw nilang 'nagugulangan' sila sa EDSA haha. 😂😂

[@ApArt1003]

Kung wala sana human rights matagal na sana nabawasan mga pasaway sa pinas

[@MajorV]

Sa lahat, papunta na tayo sa pagbabago kaya sunod tayo, kung nakikita natin na hindi talaga nakakatulong, andyan ang LGU para lapitan para kausapin nila nagpapatupad. Kung gusto nyo bumalik sa dati na wild wild west ang EDSA at mga kalye eh cge pero BAWAL magreklamo na trapik at mahal ang gasolina. Isipin nyo kung lahat sumusunod at dire-diretso lang andar eh malaki matitipid, maaga makakarating at walang trapik. Makikita mo sa ibang kalye na hindi ka makausad kasi yung isang sasakyan, dalawang lane na sakop o kaya isang lane ginawang parkingan. Wala talaga disiplina ang Pinoy pero kulang din sa pangil at enforcement kahit nakikita natin sila lagi kasi kulang sa manpower at yung ibang penalty ay sadyang mababa at sa Metro Manila lang talaga nakatutok enforcement, paglagpas mo ng boundary eh wala na. Pero pag nasa ibang bansa ang Pinoy eh sumusunod naman kasi alam nya yung istilong Pinoy, hindi uubra sa ibang bansa

[@tonystark-yb7dl]

Ilang Rounds nato grabe dami pa din matigas coconut. Dapat talaga implement ng mabuti ang Rules hindi lang kasi Pera ang katapat sa ibang bansa kung hindi pera Bitay regardless kung hindi traffic rules. Ang point kasi dito parang my Kulang para literal sumunod talaga ang mga Tao👊🏼🤔

The PNP or law officers NEVER ticket speeders in the PI. They have no traffic coordination, they never ticket the suicide motor bike riders and just let them do what they want. If you ticket the drivers you make them pay the price.

[@delosreyesramon9295]

suggestion: enforce the NCAP in the bus lane because at nightime till dawn, a lot of motorcycles and vehicles use those lanes

[@butchdipasupil373]

Are cars with escorts allowed in the bus way? Also cars with plate # 8?

[@alexanderduque1674]

What about cars with diplomatic plate? I saw 2 of them last monday enter the bus lane near shaw underpass.

[@donjanseneda6182]

Its better 24/7 operation na ang MMDA at dagdagan yung mga empleyadong enforcer.
