Numbered coding scheme suspended tom. 9/12/2005

(UPDATE) EXPECT more private vehicles on the metro's roads on Monday as the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) would give number-coding a day off in the face of the scheduled nationwide transport strike.
"We've decided to lift coding on Monday so that we could somehow help the commuters. They are our primary concern," said MMDA deputy chairman Cesar Lacuna in a phone interview Sunday.

MMDA officials made the decision to suspend the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) on Sunday, as a transport group signified its intent to push through with the transport strike throughout the first workday of the week.

The strike is to be held to protest oil price increases and to press for the ouster of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

The number-coding scheme bans vehicles from Metro Manila's streets on weekdays based on the last digit of vehicle license plates.

Kainis talaga dito sa Makati.

Since there is a transport strike, Binay must also lift it. Baka naman walang strike sa Makati.

[fr3d3rick]

baka naman kasama na rin ang makati since MMDA announced it. can anyone clarify it?

[icon]

normally di nga daw kasama makati sa jurisdiction ng mmda. wala bang annoucement from makati?

[fr3d3rick]

guys, unfortunately, hindi nga kasama ang makati sa number-coding scheme
suspension today ng MMDA. bad trip!!!

Si Binay pa. He always go against Fernando. But I'm still wishing he would also suspend the coding.

bro - -ang alam ko lang ay via roxas blvd, then airport road then villamor and exit mo doon ay slex na sa may fort bonifacio.

hindi ko lang alam kung ang buendia corner taft ay makati pa. if ever under makati pa ito, then mag diosdado macapagal avenue ka nalang going to airport road para iwas huli sa mga coding cops ng makati

[erict]

ang pagkakaalam ko safe ang SLEX, huwag na huwag ka lang liliko sa mga kanto ng makati, safe ka basta dire-diretso ka lang, pero na-try ko ito between 10AM-3PM lang. not sure during rush hour.

bro -- sa kakaalam ko, nang huhuli sila dyan sa portion ng slex when you are entering makati coming from manila. i think that's the intersection between kamagong extension and slex.

kung makakalampas ka naman dyan, maraming nag aabang sa corner ng pasay road and slex and all the way to magallanes na yan.

ingat lang kung doon ka dadaan

[pissword]

nope hindi... safe ang edsa ang SLEX.. nahuli na ako before sa may AMA makati kasi lumiko ako i forgot kasi na coding ako eh ang sabi ng mga MAPSA ok lang daw SLEX/OSMENA and EDSA kahit part pa yan ng makati.

kainis tong binay na to!! dapat d na yan iboto uli hehe
