Penalizing bus lane violators

Do you get frustrated when you see people flying past you inside the exclusive bus lane?
You might be happy to know that the MMDA are working on increasing the penalties, to act as a stronger deterrent against misuse of the exclusive EDSA bus lane.
These buses are able to move hundreds of thousands of commuters, while only occupying a single lane of the highway. This has proven to be an extremely effective public transport project, which could potentially lower the volume of private vehicles on the road, due to the buses being seen as a more convenient and faster way to travel.
For the best results, there must also be improvements in interconnectivitiy and "last mile" challenges.

[@GadgetAddict]

The new bus lane penalties will increase in severity for repeat violators, including seminars, suspension and eventually revocation of drivers license. While someone has posted the first page of the memo, in the comment section of my Facebook page, I'm not sure whether it's actually been signed and released yet. I'm hesitant to go into too much detail until it has been officially released.

[@urbanjungle9600]

Unless seizing of vehicle is also part of dealing with the belligerent repeat offenders none of it will make any difference. They disregard the law now, if they have no licence they will still continue driving inconsiderately. Zero tolerance enforcement backed by a wall to wall social media, radio and tv campaign will be the only way to get the message through that laws and rules make society run smoother

[@acegear]

severity for repeat violators, including seminars, suspension and eventually revocation of drivers license. they will still do the same shit if it cost below 10k and pay 2k-3k fixer so they dont have to show up

[@peppapingaccount4818]

good job!

[@fridaynightplans_]

Could we implement point system and revoke the license completely? i watched a repeat violator the same day and acting like they didn't know it is illegal.

[@Dtonmanph]

Community service na lang so that society benefits rather than seminar wherein it will incur additional cost again

[@leon_9114]

Dpat yung mga tinatago yung plate revoke license agad. There's NO valid reason for them to hide it. They are probably hiding it dahil gagawa ng krimen, para hindi ma identify pag may violation (para hindi kita sa dashcam) and most probably, para iwas coding violation.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

No matter what their intention is, no plates is illegal.

It's good that MMDA is now formulating the increase in penalty for bus lane violators. Cheers.

[@KarlMKPOV]

7:24 The bus lane can also be treated same as a railway. Only difference is its via 4 wheels. The railways are also empty most of the time but that's because every couple mins there are trains passing thru the lane. Kudos to the enforcement of MMDA, even though there will always be ignorant people, atleast day by day, violators can or maybe lessened.

[@poreyndyerpinoy]

This is why this country is also suffering. A little discipline will not hurt. Thank you to all the drivers who are tempted to use the bus lane but never use it.

There should be Higher penalties to those who hide their plates. Some of them might be planning something illegal aside from avoiding coding.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

Criminals who hide their plates just use the excuse " for coding " when apprehended.

[@darcan8970]

why they dont allow using again cctv so record can be viewed as evidence any time any day, put it in every pedestrian bridge along edsa, then penalty amount be increased to atleast 5k , then 10k, then 20k, you will see, even the rich brats will think twice paying that amount 😂😂😂😂

[@deoriv776]

About road signs: 1. Increase size and visibility 2. Standardize 3. Tanggalin ang mga unauthorized and illegal signs sponsored by SOGO and other businesses 4. Be precise and fair in locating signs to eliminate violation traps 5. Be accurate with the message conveyed in the sign 6. Minimize ambiguity with the message and the use of combination of signs to lessen confusion and to avoid corruption 7. Each and every directional road sign must at least at the lowest level have a municipal resolution or memo for it to legally exist. This means no arbitrary putting up of signs. Again, corruption.

[@jiemaraan8247]

Agree. Thats the first thing I noticed here in the PH when driving versus from where I'm from. the road signs are way too inconsistent in placement and size and are all over the place. I've had many occasions where I almost got a violation especially when driving on a road I'm not familiar with because the sign could be hanging anywhere or sometimes even blocked from view by other signs that are way bigger for some reason. Hard to be consistent following the law when the information is you get while driving is also inconsistent.

[@YuLeeIco]

For me, no need to complicate things, OK nman suggestions m eh, but a bus lane is a bus lane, for this specific issue, no need to complicate things, people are aware of the bus lane, with simple bus lane and signs kung disiplinado ang mga tao susunod at susunod sila. No need to complicate things. For me it's the discipline.

[@fallins]

paano ko makikita yung sign kung di wala yung signature logo and color ng SOGO /s

[@YuLeeIco]

There's no such thing as violation traps, it's your responsibility to know the traffic law. This is the problem with us Filipinos, we always have reasons.

[@TheRaginCajun6]

While I don't have a problem with the recommendations the signs have nothing to do with people breaking the law.

[@emx.8832]

Very satisfying to see these drivers got caught.

[@FixMoto]

Motorcycle riders are a different breed of motorists, they are now the new kings of the the road, and sidewalks have become their territory as well. Those who are caught driving without license should be blacklisted and banned for 5 years. Repeat offenders should be imprisoned for 5 years as well but bailable amounting to P500K minimum.

[@raymonde4272]

One issue with the bus lane violators is that in addition to inconveniencing the buses, during an operation they also inconvenience all the other lanes when they need to be escorted to a safe area for the tickets to be issued. As well as risking the safety of the officials who need to manage that traffic.

[@brydgeo007]

Thank you for your videos. I feel how stressful and time wasting the horrible traffic along EDSA. I know the frustrations of private and public commuters because I myself drive thru EDSA and other secondary roads. An 13 km (8 mile) can take you an hour and a change of driving on rush/peak hours. I am not sure what and where are the chokepoints on the roads but discipline and respect of traffic rules/ law is needed for the drivers and improve the infrastructure and traffic flow for the government. Oh by the way, one time I saw two white SUVs driving by McKinley Road with no plates and flashing lights, zigzaging thru the traffic aggressively. Not sure if its government, private security or criminals on disguise.

[@franco2.090]

[@alexdee5341]

I think the penalty is not severe enough. They still use the bus lane as "express lane". Should be 5000 for first offense, 10000+seminar for second offense, 15000+revocation of license for third offense.

[@Bangbangboom51]

you see here in the PH, if you have a padrino, godfather,kumpare/tropa/kumare people at LTO/MMDA, they could just easily delete/cancel your ticket or violations from their system so you don't pay a dime that way, you can use the bus lane everyday.😉😉

[@rueluy8287]

it is evident by repeated violators that they can afford the penalty fee. they should increase to a very stiff penalty fee plus minus the points of the drivers' licenses so they will have a hard time to renew their driver licenses. The LTO administration seems to be just sitting on their assess after seeing all of these in KZbin and other media. I hope they increase the penalty of one bus lane violation to at least 30,000 pesos per violation.

[@godan1206]

I noticed that those ticketed for wearing slippers are driving scooters and not the underbone motorcycles. The scooter type are have automatic gear shifts not the clutch and manual shifters. Since there is no need for the driver to manually shift gears, it is easy for them just sit on their scooters and drive on without thinking of gears. If they are using the underbone motorcycles they'd need to depress and hook the shifter, thus encouraging them to wear shoes. However, regardless of the type of motorcycle they are using, the driver and passenger still need to follow the dress and helmet code.

[@jmlee9756]

Penalty for Bus Lane Violators should be minimum of P10,000. Too many riders with no Driver’s License. Their motorcycles should be towed. If there are no tow trucks immediately available, hold them on the emergency bays or at some nearby area until the tow trucks arrive. Increase penalties by 5X. MMDA will then have enough funding to hire more enforcers to better manage traffic.
