Nagsimula nang gumagapang sa matinding trapik ang mga motorista habang papalapit ang pasko. Pero hindi lang iyan ang titiisin, kundi maging ang paghahanap ng masasakyan, maging ang pag-book sa mga tnvs na pinuna sa Senado. May report si Joseph Morong.

Transcript
00:00Motorists began to move in heavy traffic as Christmas approaches.
00:06But that will not be the end of the search for a vehicle.
00:10It will be the opening of the TNVS that the Senate approved.
00:14Joseph Morong has the report.
00:22The MMDA tried to stop the illegally parked MPV in Paranaque but the driver tried to escape.
00:30Are you sure?
00:32He was chased and stopped.
00:35I was just like that because I was afraid to be stopped.
00:38You were afraid?
00:40Weren't you afraid of being chased by the enforcer?
00:43Were you more afraid of being stopped?
00:46Can you park there?
00:48I know it's prohibited.
00:49If you know it's prohibited, why did you park there?
00:52According to the MMDA, an enforcer hit a driver in Libdib.
00:58Illegally parked, his violation should be unattended.
01:02So now, because he ran and almost hit our enforcer twice, definitely reckless driving.
01:10The MMDA's plan is to divide the clearing operations, which are wide roads, into heavy and non-traffic roads.
01:17In EDSA, there are more than 440,000 vehicles.
01:20According to the monitoring of the MMDA, this is only December 2.
01:24The travel time in EDSA, from Monumento to Rojas Boulevard, varies from one to one and a half hours.
01:30Our roads were never really built and prepared to handle this kind of volume and make use of our public transportation.
01:39But driving in public transportation is still a problem.
01:43Sometimes, it takes three hours because it's hard to drive.
01:47It's not only the passengers who suffer, but also the drivers and conductors whose income is reduced.
01:52For example, in December, sometimes it takes three hours.
01:55We only go around in the middle of the traffic.
01:57We can't get a scooter.
01:59Other passengers in motorcycle taxis are hoping for faster travel.
02:04But there are those who die of rush hour or don't use the color room.
02:08As for the TNVS, it's very expensive to massage and it's hard to book.
02:12The Transport Network Company in the Senate said earlier...
02:16If it's rush hour and it's raining, why is it hard to book in Grab?
02:22We lack in the supply of drivers on road, especially when it comes to rush hour.
02:29There are many who don't travel.
02:31Others are letting the traffic pass.
02:35That's why we need to incentivize.
02:37It's also hard to book if the passengers are discounted, like students, PWD and senior citizens.
02:43It's very clear that we are choosing.
02:46Now my question is, who absorbed the 20 percent discount?
02:50It was implemented this year.
02:53It was implemented this year.
02:55It was implemented this year.
02:57It was implemented this year.
02:59That's why the drivers are refusing.
03:01The drivers said that they will absorb it.
03:04According to LTFRB, they have a memorandum of agreement with TNCs like Grab,
03:09that they should participate in the discounts.
03:12The Grab explained that they are just following the Memo Circular 2018-004
03:17that states that the driver will be responsible for the discounts.
03:20The Senators said that TNCs should be paying for it.
03:23Grab promised to participate in the LTFRB.
03:27Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:42.
