MANILA, Philippines (Eagle News) — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that it will intensify its crackdown on jaywalkers in Metro Manila to help decongest traffic in the metropolis.
The MMDA reminded the drivers of Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) to firmly adhere to rules on the drop off and pick up of passengers, and for them to only do it at the proper loading and unloading areas.
According to MMDA anti-jaywalking unit head Rafael Conejero, commuters or jaywalkers who will be caught will have the option to pay the PHP 500 fine or render a three-hour community service which is scheduled every last Friday of the month.
