00:00 The Transportation Department is also studying the possibility of putting a motorcycle lane on EDSA like Commonwealth Avenue.
00:08 Witness, Oscar Oida.
00:10 This was just a while ago in the long Commonwealth Avenue.
00:17 For DOTR, there is a good and successful way to implement the motorcycle lane on Commonwealth Avenue.
00:25 That is why they are studying the possibility of putting a motorcycle lane on EDSA
00:31 compared to the Commonwealth Avenue which has more than 6 to 18 lanes in different directions.
00:38 EDSA is more visible.
00:41 What if we widen the bike lane a little bit and that lane will be a motorcycle and bicycle lane.
00:51 But that is just the initial concept.
00:55 According to MMDA, the bicycle lane on EDSA is underutilized.
01:00 If they will put a motorcycle lane, there should be a division where the motor and bicycle are separate.
01:11 The proposals for that should be studied more closely.
01:14 We should give control to the lanes where the bike lanes are. It will not actually solve the whole problem of EDSA.
01:24 But at least we should have a plan to help reduce the number of bike lanes.
01:30 The chairperson of the Motorcycle Rights Organization is against this.
01:34 He says that the need for a more narrow lane is not necessary but rather a more strict implementation of the traffic laws.
01:42 What needs to be studied here is the root cause of the problem, which is the flow of traffic.
01:48 They are focused on attracting riders but our airing drivers are not focused.
01:54 The problem of discipline is the problem of all types of vehicles, not just motorcycles.
02:01 Senate Committee on Public Services Chairperson Grace Poe understands the intention of the proposal.
02:08 But MMDA has already tried this, like the Commonwealth.
02:12 The result of the experiment should be based on a plan.
02:19 For Senator Nancy Binay, a member of the Senate Committee,
02:23 DOTR should focus on the safety, comfort and proper mass transportation networks.
02:33 DOTR's answer.
02:35 This is not a priority.
02:39 The subway project is going in full blast.
02:43 The North-South Commuter Railway.
02:45 Anytime this coming month, the LRT-130 extension will open partial operation.
02:53 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Guayda, your witness.
02:58 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
