“The Number Coding Scheme is LIFTED as of 1 p.m. today (July 8, 2015) in ALL Metro Manila cities and (one) municipality,” MMDA said in its Twitter account.
The number coding scheme or the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) is a traffic decongestion strategy which bans private and public utility vehicles from plying the roads on weekday peak hours based on the last digit of their license plates.
Meanwhile, MMDA also suspended the operations of the Pasig River Ferry System on Wednesday morning due to zero visibility for the safe ferry operations.
