Traffic woes in Metro Manila are set to worsen ahead of the Christmas holidays as more vehicles are expected to pass through EDSA even compared with pre-pandemic levels, according to transport officials.
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Romando Artes said that an average of 417,000 vehicles passed through EDSA on a daily basis as of November 24, higher than the pre-pandemic level of 405,000.with the MMDA expecting a 10% to 20% increase in traffic volume.
[Despite that, the average speed in EDSA is almost 16 kilometers per hour, faster than the pre-pandemic level of about 11 kilometers per hour.] Transport officials have since made adjustments, such as the EDSA Bus Carousel project of the Department of Tourism , a bus rapid transit line with a dedicated lane in the country’s busiest thoroughfare.and suspend roadworks, pipe laying, road upgrading, and all other excavation works to address the traffic congestion.
