EDSA Bus Lane

iACT operate on EDSA, to enforce the exclusive lane created for commuter Buses plying the EDSA Carousel Route.
According to iACT, the majority of vehicles ticketed during this operation were red plates or driven by uniformed personnel.
Due to the low number of buses currently using the lane, iACT temporarily allowed properly marked Government Vehicles, Police Convoys and Ambulances to also use the bus lane.
---
Per MMDA, the only vehicles allowed in the bus lane are buses. It's not for red plates, frontliners, VIPs etc.
You may see DPWH/MMDA construction trucks using the lane while they continue to build the MRT bus stops. And you may see enforcement vehicles during bus lane enforcement operations.
They don't want ambulances passing through there. But from what I've observed, they're not apprehending them because they could be responding to a life and death sitution.
When there are more buses using the lane, it will be dangerous for ambulances to use it because they might get stuck, with no way to exit the lane.
---
The bus lanes are extremely busy with ambulances at the start and end of the work day. There are various allegations that ambulances are being used as express taxis for VIPs and even for colorum transport, bringing workers into Metro Manila via SLEX and NLEX. These allegations are hard to verify because no one wants to stop and delay an ambulance, just in case it’s responding to a genuine emergency.

So happy to see the low-floor buses now.. Low-floor buses can seat the same or even more passengers than old-style high floor buses (68 passengers VERSUS 59 passengers), even though the low-floor buses are only half the size of old-buses! Amazing technology :) And they have easier access: no steps, and hydraulic floors that raise or lower for PWD, Senior Citizens, and pregnant women. They cost less to maintain than the old-style buses, and are safer for passengers and drivers. That is why they are now the worldwide standard for city-buses.. Finally it seems Metro Manila is catching up to the rest of the world; so well done to LTFRB and MMDA for enforcing, and thanks Gadget Addict for sharing! :) I hope they can take full advantage of modern PUJ (i.e. real minibuses) too. The metro and the entire country needs to seriously modernize its public transportation.

[@mountainous_port]

Matagal napo ang low floor buses sa ibang bansa. So glad sa wakas after one million years meron na rin tayo.

[@JohnBabeJeszareth]

actually all volvo bus, highfloor or not, does have the technology to lowered or to levelled since it is full pneumatic. buses that has the same technology wil be able to lower too... hydraulics are not present to any buses they use pnuematic instead

[@Raether608]

Low Floor buses do not have the passenger advantage over high-floor buses. This is only correct with those Luxury buses with minimum seating but you get more comfort when sitting inside them. All high-floor buses are older than low-floor which is why some of them do not have the tech that low floors do. Some old examples, The Nissan Diesel buses are the best example here as when you search on the Wiki, Nissan Diesel doesn't make those buses anymore but PH bought an overwhelming batch of them or have body makers that partnered up with them (E.g Santarosa bodyworks) plus, I'd say low-floors have a huge disadvantage in floods as when you open the door you will be letting all of that water into the bus.

[@philnightjar1971]

Lack of men, sometimes when hands are full they just let following violators pass through to prevent a traffic jam. They'll catch more only after they're done with the initial violators.

[@helenbriangoaldigger3214]

[@emconsolacion7950]

more seminars on traffic enforcer, they don't know what they're doin, no compromise, you are not suppose to apologize

[@nico77212]

This is to avoid the bs excuses of the violators that they are being treated badly. Do not blame the enforcers for that, blame the culture. We have seen times of when enforcers used force in the Philippines and the media used it as an excuse of abuse there power. I fucking hate that they have to apologize as well but ignorant people will listen to bias media and say that they are being neglected of human rights.

[@pnoyworx]

Most sensible reply yet. If you actually have driven there, you will notice improper signages, and faulty equipments used. Signs are too small, and at the wrong height. At night the signs are dirty that they do not reflect the wordage. Also no proper lighting. The barriers are barely visible along with the cones. Most are so dirty they blend in with the road and environment. Most traffic changes signs are not posted properly a few feet before the change, but rather right at the change of traffic. This does not allow all to make the proper lane changes. You have lanes that suddenly disappear with no signage of merging lanes, and lanes that have been taken over to barely fit the width of a car. Lack of proper implementation.

[@kassemjabber2769]

Suggestion this is good idea edsa carrousel bus lane. First good idea in EDsa since birth Bus since bus was designed for right loading and unloading why not switch the direction of bus right to left direction so its more safe for passenger to load and unload on bus stop bay since they have a barrier and right of way for busses.
