00:00Almost every day, a lot of people are visiting Edsa Busway, even though they know that they are not authorized to go there.
00:09That's why the Land Transportation Office, LTO, is studying to increase the fine.
00:14We have first live news, Bam Alegre.
00:17Bam.
00:22Good morning.
00:23If it won't stop those who are not allowed to go to Edsa Busway,
00:27the plan of the Land Transportation Office is to increase the fine.
00:31That's why we learned the opinion of some of our fellow citizens here on the street.
00:42It's time for the authorities in Edsa Busway,
00:45which is only for passenger buses and emergency ambulances,
00:48to catch someone.
00:50And catch someone.
00:51And catch someone.
00:52Most of the time, it's just a coincidence.
00:54Some say that they don't know that they are not allowed to go to the busway.
00:57The ending is a ticket that has a fine of P5,000.
01:01According to LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II,
01:05it's time for a higher fine.
01:07LTO is short of P5,000.
01:10And if the violation is repeated, the license should be removed.
01:14We will continue to dialogue.
01:16If the penalty is too small, it should be increased.
01:19The important thing is, if the driver is caught, there is a demerit.
01:22If the demerit points are increased,
01:2540 demerit points,
01:27suspension or revocation of the license.
01:31The passenger, Baby Perez, doesn't want the fine to be increased.
01:35For me, it's okay to increase the fine.
01:37Because even if you say that there is a fine of P5,000,
01:40there are still a lot of people going to the busway, right?
01:43There are still a lot of people who will have a hard time.
01:45Maybe if you increase the fine,
01:47they will be embarrassed, right?
01:49In terms of discipline, the rider, Jun Garcia, also agreed.
01:53He said that if the fine is reduced,
01:55it will be easier to avoid fighting.
01:57For me, the riders should be brought to the busway.
02:02I can experience it.
02:06I can accompany some riders who really go to the busway.
02:11But if the rider, Romel Nabatos, is the one who will be questioned,
02:14it's still a reality that a lot of people go here
02:16who don't know about this kind of police.
02:18The fine is reduced to P5,000.
02:20How can it be increased?
02:22For me, it's just my idea.
02:25Because there are people who really can't avoid fighting.
02:36It would be better if the fine is not increased.
02:40The commuter, Bernard Gilara,
02:42preferred to stay put on the fine of P5,000 for the first offense.
02:46He told us not to go again.
02:48For the first offense, P5,000 is okay.
02:50But if they are doing it again and again,
02:53it's okay to increase the fine
02:54so that at least our commuters can learn.
03:03So there, Egan.
03:04Let's talk about the traffic situation here in Edsa,
03:06Quezon Avenue, southbound lane.
03:08It's light.
03:09It's moderate because of the traffic.
03:11And the bus lane behind us,
03:13as you can see,
03:14if there's no one passing through the bus lane,
03:16the bus lanes are continuous.
03:18There's enough supply for our commuters this morning.
03:21This is the street heat here in Quezon City,
03:24for GMA Integrated News.
