The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced that the implementation of the truck ban will resume beginning next week.
MMDA spokesperson Celine Pialago said that trucks will be prohibited from plying EDSA, C-5 and other major thoroughfares in Metro Manila from 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. from Monday to Saturday starting December 14.
‘Yung mga truck naman po na bumabaybay sa EDSA, which is meron naman po, which is Magallanes to Roxas Boulevard and North Avenue to Balintawak, sundin po natin ‘yung truck ban natin. Pero ‘yung mga trucks po, ito po ‘yung malalaking sasakyan. Alam naman po ng mga truckers natin ‘yan kung sino po ang hindi maaring dumaan ng EDSA,” Pialago said.
The implementation of the truck ban has been suspended during the community quarantine.
The unified vehicular volume reduction program, meanwhile, remains suspended.
