Road reblocking, number coding for provincial buses lifted at Undas weekend

To ease traffic during the yearly exodus for Undas (All Saints' and All Souls' Days), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority is lifting the number coding for provincial buses starting Thursday.

 

MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino also said there will be no reblocking or repair works in Metro Manila this weekend.

 

"Ni-lift natin ang number coding ng provincial buses bukas. Hindi pa ito normal na paggamit ng tunnel," he told radio dzBB in an interview.

 

"Pati road reblocking wala muna," he added.

 

An earlier report by radio dzBB's Glen Juego said the number coding for provincial buses will be lifted from October 30 until the Undas weekend.

 

The MMDA had also lifted the number coding for vehicles on Oct. 31, Friday, except in Makati & Las Piñas.
 

Odd-even scheme

 

From Oct. 28 to Jan. 4, 2015, the MMDA allowed provincial buses to use three of four underpasses along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) - EDSA-Aurora Blvd., EDSA-P. Tuazon, and EDSA-Shaw.

 

Provincial buses whose license plates end in odd numbers may use the underpasses on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

 

Those whose license plates end in even numbers may use the underpasses on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. — Joel Locsin/RSJ, GMA News
