Bus group appeals to Manila gov't to reconsider ban

MANILA -- The Metro Bus Transport Inc. appeals to the Manila City government to reconsider the bus ban once the traffic situation has improved. The group said they are not against solutions to Manila's traffic woes, but there should be better coordination between city officials and bus operators. "Magkaroon lang po ng koordinasyon, magkaroon pa po ng further studies, ng adjustment... Baka pag nawala na yung mga illegal terminals, naiayos na yung sistema ng trapiko doon, natanggal na yung mga kotong cops, baka naman po ang mga legal na operasyon ng mga legal na bus operators, companies ay hindi na makacause ng traffic sa Maynila," Atty. Grace Adducul, spokesperson of the Metro Bus Transport Inc., said. ANC Dateline Philippines, July 24, 2013
