00:00It's not just the happiness of the people this Christmas,

00:03but also the traffic and the difficulty in riding.

00:06The commuters are in a mess.

00:08And from Quezon City, we have a surprise for you.

00:11It's Jamie Santos.

00:13Jamie?

00:18Pia, the Christmas season is really here

00:20because of the left-right parties and the lights of Christmas tree.

00:24But aside from that, the Christmas rush is also felt

00:27because of the traffic.

00:31It's 1.30 in the afternoon when we started our ride in EDSA.

00:35When it comes to Cubao, there's already a build-up.

00:38Especially when it comes to U-turn slots

00:40towards the malls that are located along EDSA.

00:43First, the MMDA said,

00:45the traffic load is expected this December.

00:48And they expect to pass 500,000 vehicles in EDSA,

00:53which is higher than the daily average of 421,000.

00:57Although some commuters understand that many will go to malls and parties,

01:01they can't avoid the stress of the traffic.

01:04It's also hard to book and get a taxi sometimes.

01:07It's really hard, especially for my family.

01:10It's hard to book because they're all busy.

01:14The taxi drivers we talked to said,

01:17they don't ask for passengers.

01:19Sometimes, they have to refuse to travel because of the heavy traffic.

01:24But LTFRB repeatedly reminded that passengers are not allowed to refuse.

01:29According to the LTO,

01:31they will have personnel spread out to guard the roads during the holiday rush,

01:36especially to the truck crowds when the truck-van leaves.

01:43Pia, we saw a truck-van.

01:45Is it a truck-van?

01:47Yes, it's a truck-van.

01:49It's a truck-van.

01:52Pia, we saw MMDA personnel deployed this week.

01:56Some of them were placed in malls to avoid the traffic.

02:03That's the latest. Back to you, Pia.

02:06Thank you very much, Jamie Santos.
