00:00 One of the problems in EDSA is the increase of motorcycles in different lanes.
00:06 If the estimate is wrong, they will go home.
00:09 Unfortunately.
00:10 That's why the Department of Transportation is looking for an exclusive motorcycle lane in EDSA.
00:16 Motorists, please be careful.
00:18 Live from EDSA Monumento, we have the first news, Jomer Apresto.
00:23 Jomer, what is the pulse of our motorists about that?
00:26 Ivan, I'm here in EDSA Monumento where we talked earlier about some motorists
00:36 who are planning to put a motorcycle lane in EDSA.
00:41 All of them are in favor of this plan by the government.
00:45 GMA Integrated News caught up with this motorcycle rider who counter-flowed in EDSA Monumento earlier.
00:55 This rider also counter-flowed and crossed the bike lane.
00:59 Other motorists call them "kamote rider".
01:03 To solve the problem of motorists, the Department of Transportation or DOTR plans to put a motorcycle lane in EDSA.
01:11 Some motorcycle riders are in favor of this plan.
01:15 It's better to have a separate motorcycle lane.
01:19 It's better to have a separate lane so that we won't be in a bus lane.
01:25 It's better to have our own lane.
01:31 I'm in favor of a motorcycle lane, boss.
01:33 Because you can see that our road is full of undisciplined drivers.
01:42 If the motorcycles can give their own lane, the four-wheeled vehicles will have a wider road.
01:48 This rider is also in favor of the DOTR plan.
01:52 Sometimes, they are the only ones who have a bicycle lane and can't cross the bike lane.
01:57 It's better to have a separate bike lane.
01:58 Why?
01:59 So that the road won't be in a mess.
02:02 The motorcycle should also be separated from the road.
02:08 How can we cross the road if we have a bike lane?
02:12 Last night, we were supposed to cross the road with our bikes.
02:18 But the motorcycle went there and we were in a mess.
02:20 I told him to cross the road with his bike.
02:23 He scolded me.
02:24 According to the MMDA, about 170,000 motorcycle riders are expected to cross EDSA every day.
02:39 Meanwhile, Ivan, we were able to talk to some of the motorists.
02:43 The government should immediately make a plan to put a motorcycle lane along EDSA.
02:50 That's the latest from Manila.
02:53 I'm Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
