THE UNIFIED Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), popularly known as the number coding traffic scheme in Metro Manila, will be lifted starting April 6 until June 2, an official of the Metro Manila Development Authority announced Wednesday.
Angelito Vergel de Dios, MMDA Traffic Operations Center executive director, said only Makati City would continue implementing the traffic scheme since the volume of vehicles was not expected to change here, unlike those in other parts of Metro Manila.

The lifting of the UVVRP is based on a study by the MMDA’s Traffic Engineering Center (TEC) in the summers of 2004 and 2005 that showed as much as a 30-percent reduction in the number of vehicles on the road during the summer months, De Dios said.

De Dios said that this 30-percent drop was above the reduction in vehicular volume resulting from the UVVRP, which is at 20 percent.

Makati, on the other hand, is a busy district with a minimal number of schools, so a UVVRP suspension during summer will not work, De Dios said

i might have missed something. I was offline for quite some time. is makati area exempted too? I work in Makati.

[mazda323]

I called MMDA at 882-0871. Di raw kasali Makati.

[Mguy]

Arrggghhh!!!!! Damn Makati!!! . karamihan naman eh mag-papark for the whole day lang yun. With or without coding, matraffic naman ang papasok at pauwi, so why not try it??

[ess]

Crap! I live in QC but work in Ft. Boni. Unfortunately, I have to pass through the Republic of Makati (kalayaan in C5, or Guadalupe in EDSA) going to work.
Bwisit na BINAY na yan!

[nicolodeon]

Kayo naman oo, alam nyo naman na dati pang may sariling mundo ang Makati Republic of Binay. Baka nga in the near future, gumawa na sila ng sariling currency at language eh. Baka nga next year, ma-feature na sila sa Lonely Planet or World Trekker. Baka sa Ripley's pa nga.

BTT: (taken from the news) according to Makati City officials, their traffic management bureau does not expect the volume of vehicles traveling to and around Makati (especially the MBD) to decrease thus their decision not to participate in the suspension of the UVVRP.

Kaka bad trip na talaga itong si Binay e. 20% daw nababawasan na kotse pag may coding. I wonder how he came up with that number. Sana magising yun mga resident ng Makati at wag na ulit iboto yan.

Please kindly confirm... I heard on the news that you can pass safely along the stretch of C-5 & EDSA as UVVRP is also suspended along these roads.

THE first day of the two-month number coding suspension saw the usual traffic volume on the metro’s roads, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said on Thursday.

MMDA Traffic Operations Center Executive Director Angelito Vergel de Dios said there was no notable change in traffic volume when the agency lifted the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) in most of Metro Manila on Thursday.

The MMDA suspended the implementation of the UVVRP starting April 3 until June 2.

Only Makati City retained the traffic reduction scheme as it said that the school break would not affect traffic volume in the city.

[nugundam93]

if no change...

we can assume that they should abolish the coding asap, right? :D

[Dinxx]

Si Binay pa!!
kung makakasalungat siya kay Bayani, SASALUNGAT talaga yan!!
kahit na gaano ka ganda yung idea.

[oldblue]

nagtataka nga ako sa kayabanga ni Binay pero umaasa naman sya sa mga business taxes ng mga kumpanya dyan sa Makati. mga tax paying companies na umaasa sa mga productive employees nila ng mga residents ng ibang cities/towns. tapos yun pa mga employees na yun ang hindi man lang nya mapagbigyan.

buti pa sa Ortigas, tumatanaw ng utang na loob si Eusebio sa mga employees na kahit di taga-Pasig. sya pa nga nag-propose na i-abolish ang coding dito sa pasig ortigas area. he's maintaining an image that all are welcome here.

si Binay double standard nangungumisyun siya sa mga labors ng mga non-Makati residents tapos pinagdadamutan pa nya the same people. garapal talaga ugali nyan.

[nugundam93]

sarap sagasaan si binay pag coding ng kotse. hahaha!

[seonadancing]

Alam ko kung saan nag babadminton yan hayop na yan!!! hmmm... Well may alam akong daan sa makati para makalusot ka sa mandaluyong pero dapat pare pareho ang batas, hindi naman state ang makati e, city pa din yan, dapat siguro si GMA yun mag sabi tutal di naman magkasundo yan dalawa. Si binay na pumapayag mag rally ang mga anti gma sa ayala tapos iniisip nya yun traffic na dulot ng walang coding? Ungoy!!!

[mazdamazda]

i agree with this... same pa rin halos ang traffic volume.

oo nga no difference, kasi everyone who can afford another car bought one just to escape yung coding.

[power eagle]
