Ping Lacson Proposes Solution to End ‘Abuse’ of EDSA Busway

To prevent unauthorized vehicles from using the busway along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA), why not make the buses using it go the other way?

Former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson proposed this solution on Friday, following numerous reports of abuse by violators – including a convoy of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

“EDSA BUSWAY: To prevent unauthorized vehicles from using the bus way, MMDA may consider studying the infrastructure reconfiguration to reverse the direction of buses passing through the bus lanes and make the problem solve itself. Nobody wants a head-on collision,” Lacson said in a post on X.

Lacson also stressed there should not be any “exemptions” from the rule. “Exempt yourself at your own risk,” he said.
