During a Laging Handa briefing on Monday, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) General Manager Arturo \u201cJojo\u201d Garcia said the U-turn slots will gradually close, with no exact dates yet on its implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlam naman natin ang ginagawang bus lane nasa middle lane, so if ever na itutuloy na natin iyan ay maaapektuhan ang U-turn slots<\/em>\u00a0(We know that the EDSA bus lane is in the middle lanes, once it extends, U-turn slots will be affected),\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n
