00:00Edsa is also planning to add a motorcycle lane according to the MMDA, just like the Commonwealth Avenue.

00:08As part of the plan, the Edsa Bike Lane will be widened or the motorcycle lane will be set aside.

00:15Oscar Oida is on the spot.

00:21They just got this a while ago from the Commonwealth Avenue.

00:25According to the DOTR, a motorcycle lane will be successfully implemented in the Commonwealth Avenue.

00:33That is why they are now studying the possibility of adding a motorcycle lane in Edsa

00:39compared to the Commonwealth Avenue, which has more than 6 to 18 lanes in each direction.

00:45Edsa is more spacious.

00:48What if we widen the bike lane and that lane will become a motorcycle and bicycle lane?

00:58But that is just the initial concept.

01:02According to the MMDA, the bicycle lane in Edsa is a bit underutilized.

01:08If we are going to add a motorcycle lane, there should be a separate division between the motorcycle and the bicycle.

01:18Those proposals need to be studied more thoroughly.

01:21We can give control to the roads where we enter.

01:27It will not actually solve the whole problem of Edsa, but at least we can have a plan to help reduce it.

01:37The chairperson of the Motorcycle Rights Organization is against this.

01:41They say that there is no need to add a motorcycle lane, but a more strict implementation of the Traffic Law.

01:49What needs to be studied here is the root cause of the problem, which is the flow of traffic.

01:55They are focused on catching the riders, but our airing drivers are not focused anymore.

02:02The problem of discipline is the problem of all types of vehicles, not just motorcycles.

02:08The Senate Committee on Public Services Chairperson Grace Poe understands the intention of the proposal,

02:15but the MMDA has already tried it, just like the Commonwealth.

02:19The result of her so-called experiment should be a part of the plan.

02:27For Senator Nancy Binay, a member of the so-called committee,

02:31the DOTR should pay more attention to safe, comfortable, and proper mass transportation networks.

02:40DOTR's answer.

02:42We are not saying that this is a priority.

02:47The Subway Project and the North-South Commuter Railway are in full blast.

02:52Anytime this coming months, the LRT-1 Cavite Extension will open a partial operation.

03:00For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida.
