Buses Reach the Motorcycle Lane along EDSA. What is the Yellow Lane for then?


Why did MMDA establish a blue motorcycle lane away from the yellow bus lane? To make motorcycle riders a safe distance away from these unruly buses. But most of the time, buses do not care. They only care about getting ahead of other buses to pick up passengers.

And bus companies complain why they are the target of the traffic enforcement agencies? It's because they are one of the major causes of traffic. Just look at the photo above. All lanes are occupied by buses except for the left most lane. What is the yellow lane for then? The Don Mariano Transit bus above is on the motorcycle lane already!

What if a bus is caught outside the yellow lane, MMDA will suspend the entire companies fleet for 30 days? This way, buses will be reduced along EDSA without banning bus companies that follow the rules. Like Manila, without undisciplined bus drivers, traffic will be reduced!
