Benefiting from the lifting of the number coding scheme are motorists whose vehicles have license plates ending in 9 and 0.

Under the number coding scheme, vehicles are barred from plying major roads in Metro Manila from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., depending on the last digit of their license plates.

Covered on Mondays are vehicles with plate numbers ending in 1 and 2; 3 and 4 on Tuesdays; 5 and 6 on Wednesdays; 7 and 8 on Thursdays; and 9 and 0 on Fridays. — BM, GMA News
