As per the update from the DOTr:

🔹 2 enforcers per stop are ensuring that buses stick to the 45-second limit to prevent congestion.

🔹 DOTr is fast-tracking repairs of the remaining timers.

🔹 Accessibility upgrades are also underway, including fixing ramps and elevators.

Commuters, have you noticed a difference yet? 🚍💨

Some commenters said the busway is a waste of space and should be removed.

Personally I find it quite relaxing to watch the buses swiftly pass through - moving so many commuters so efficiently.

👮🏼 During an intense SAICT & LTFRB roadworthiness inspection operation on February 26, authorities uncovered numerous violations that put passengers at risk. 🚍⚠️

🔴 While some drivers were hit with Immediate penalty tickets, some of the associated public transport operators could likewise be looking at show-cause orders from LTO - according to SAICT.

Among the most common violations found on the day:

🔹 Worn-out tires ready to blow at any moment

🔹 Expired fire extinguishers—useless in an emergency

🔹 Non-working brake & indicator lights, turning roads into a guessing game

Safety shouldn’t be negotiable. Let’s raise the standard and aim towards roadworthy public transport for all! 🚦🛑

🚨 Watch this SAICT enforcement operation inside the exclusive EDSA bus lane, where multiple cars and motorcycles were caught in the act! 🚔🏍️

At 3:50 it may appear that a rider has made his way through without being ticketed -- but guess what? SAICT has already endorsed his plate number to the LTO for a show-cause order.

When LTO issues a show-cause order, they typically require the driver to attend a hearing at their office - a much bigger hassle than a simple ticket by the side of the road!

There are often additional penalties and consequences when it reaches the point of a show-cause order being issued, beyond the initial violation.

🚨 Busway Violator Faces LTO Show-Cause Order After Dramatic Escape Attempt 🚨

A motorcycle rider who allegedly nearly crashed into enforcers while fleeing an apprehension inside the exclusive EDSA busway will reportedly be issued a show-cause order by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

This means he would be required to attend a hearing at the LTO main office to explain his actions.

Despite making his escape, the riders plate number had already been captured by enforcers that were monitoring from above.

Instead of stopping when he saw enforcers up ahead, the rider allegedly left the busway, drove between other vehicles, then jumped back into the bus lane - forcing his way past the enforcers before making his getaway.

What could have been a simple ticket by the roadside has now escalated into a more serious case. The rider could now face heavier penalties, with the potential for suspension or even revocation of his driver’s license.

🚨 EARLY MORNING CRACKDOWN ON EDSA BUSWAY VIOLATORS 🚨

Motorists misusing the EDSA Busway got an unpleasant surprise on February 18, as SAICT enforcers launched an early morning operation to catch rule-breakers. 🚔🚧

Starting around 5:30 AM, enforcers handed out penalty tickets and confiscated driver’s licenses. Many say that spending time to get the license back from the LTO office is a bigger deterrent than the fine itself.

🚨 BUSTED IN THE BUSWAY! 🚨

📅 February 17, 2025

While most drivers on EDSA played by the rules, a few tried to outsmart the system by sneaking into the exclusive EDSA bus lane. Spoiler alert: it didn't work.

👮‍♂️ SAICT enforcers were quick to flag them down and hand out penalty tickets. But that’s not all—they also had their licenses confiscated!

⏱️ Now, instead of saving time, they’ll be making an unplanned trip to the LTO office to settle their fines and get their licenses back.

🚨 Motorcycle Taxi Spotted in EDSA Bus Lane! 🚨

A motorcycle taxi rider was caught illegally using the exclusive EDSA bus lane, prompting enforcers to intervene.

However, instead of stopping, the rider changed lanes and sped away, even entering the bicycle lane and weaving through traffic at a relatively high speed.

Shockingly, when the rider first made his move, his female passenger was seen clutching her helmet, seemingly unprepared for the sudden burst of speed.

To make matters worse, the motorcycle had no visible markings on the license plate, making it impossible to track down.

For the safety of future passengers, I’d recommend the female passenger to report this incident. Behavior like this puts lives at risk!

🚨 HORNS ON EDSA! 🚨

📅 February 17, 6:15 AM – A motorcycle rider tried his luck by sneaking into the exclusive EDSA bus lane… but luck wasn’t on his side.

Despite quickly exiting and attempting to blend in with other riders, his helmet-mounted horns made him stand out like a sore thumb.

Enforcers closed in, but instead of facing the music, he chose to evade.

Unfortunately for him, his license plate was caught. Now, according to SAICT, instead of just a simple ticket, he’s looking at a show-cause order from the LTO, meaning a formal hearing awaits.

A bad decision turned into a bigger headache. 🚔💨

🚨 LOOK: MOTORCYCLE RIDERS WAIT OUT THE RAIN UNDER MRT 🚨

Many motorcycle riders along EDSA were spotted taking shelter under the MRT during the rain, while the nearby designated motorcycle lay-by—built specifically for this purpose—was nearly empty.

Waiting in the proper area isn’t just about avoiding traffic buildup—it’s also a much safer option than stopping under the MRT on a busy highway.

A small change in habits can make a big difference in road safety for everyone. Stay safe, riders! 🏍️☔

🚨 Motorcycle Rider Driving AGAINST TRAFFIC in EDSA Bus Lane! 🚨

At around 5 PM yesterday, a motorcycle rider was spotted inside the exclusive EDSA bus lane. Upon seeing enforcers ahead, he swerved out - but then returned moments later, this time driving against traffic! 😱

SAICT enforcers immediately gave chase on foot and managed to catch the rider.

His explanation? He had already been caught before for using the bus lane and said the P5,000 penalty was too much - but that didn’t stop him from doing it again.

He was issued with a penalty ticket for multiple violations.

As of now, there’s no information on whether LTO will be asked to suspend or revoke his drivers license.

What do you think? Should there be stricter action, especially for repeat violators? 🤔
