Traffic officials and several metro mayors said they hope the new scheme, which would be put in operation starting Monday, March 17, would finally decongest Metro Manila's thoroughfares and make travel easier for motorists and commuters.

Under the new number coding, all private and public utility vehicles would be banned from plying Metro Manila's streets according to the last digit in their plate numbers: plate numbers ending in 1 and 2 on Mondays; 3 and 4 on Tuesdays; 5 and 6 on Wednesdays; 7 and 8 on Thursdays; and 0 and 9 on Fridays.

Unlike the existing Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) that bans public utility vehicles, including jeepneys, taxis, buses, AUV taxis, and the like from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the new scheme prohibits them from using the roads for 24 hours.

Private vehicles, however, affected by the ban on a particular day can use their cars during off-peak hours, between 10 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., except in San Juan and Makati city, whose streets are said to be congested the whole day.

Exempted from the number scheme are provincial buses, motorcycles, school buses, government vehicles, and media service vehicles. The said vehicle, however, have to secure an exemption from the MMDA office.
