Palpak mag explain ang taga NLEX...











The cause of the traffic is the sheer volume of thousands of trucks going to the port of Manila. PPA should expedite their internal processes to allow faster entry and exit of trucks getting their container vans inside PPA premises.

MMDA then released a statement via its Facebook page:

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) today clarified that it is not implementing the one-truck lane policy along A. Bonifacio–North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) area. MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino issued the clarification to dispel public confusion and misinformation caused by an NLEX post on the social network site Twitter this morning, [which said] that the cause of traffic along A. Bonifacio was the one-truck lane policy being implemented by the agency.

"The horrendous traffic along A. Bonifacio today is caused by the long queue of container trucks going to the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) premises," Tolentino said. "The processing time for the container trucks to enter the port leaves too much to be desired. And that is the reason why these trucks ended up lining A. Bonifacio and has resulted in severe traffic congestion going to NLEX. A. Bonifacio has reached its full capacity stretching all the way to NLEX. The public should understand that the problem is within the jurisdiction of the PPA, and it is internal."

The MMDA chief stressed that the one-truck lane policy is being implemented along C5 only, and that it has no effect on the roads leading to the Port of Manila.
