The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is currently studying the possible penalties against violators using the EDSA bus lane in the evening, MMDA Chairman Don Artes said on Thursday, Dec. 14.

In an exclusive interview with DZRH Dos Por Dos, Artes said that it is dangerous for the traffic enforcers to be deployed in the evening as fast vehicles are passing.

"Ang problem po namin marami po kaming namomonitor lalo na pag mid-night hindi naman po namin malagyan ng tao dahil delikado po lao pag medyo mabilis ang isang sasakyan," Artes said.

Through closed-circuit television (CCTV), Artes said that the violators would be captured and could be reported to the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

"Mayroon na po kaming pag-uusap ni Asec. Vigor Mendoza ng LTO na icacapture po namin yung sa maing CCTV camera tapos irereport po namin sa kanya at siya na po ang bahala," he said.

Artes said instead of traffic laws, the LTO will focus more on license and registration penalties due to the existing temporary restraining orders (TRO) on the Contact Apprehension policy.
