The MMDA, in moving for the traffic reduction measure, said that most PUBs have been running along Edsa with half of their load capacity... MMDA chair Francis Tolentino, expects to cut by at least 20 percent the traffic volume in Metro Manila through the number coding scheme... The plan would likewise help the agency in its crackdown against “colorum” buses, or vehicles which have not been covered with licenses to operate as PUBs, he added...
