MANILA — Starting Dec. 17 to 22 from midnight to 5 a.m., cargo trucks will be allowed to travel along Roxas Blvd. in Manila, the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said Sunday<\/p>\n

MMDA chair Francis Tolentino said this is in response to calls of Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras in order to decongest the ports of Manila.<\/p>\n

“I am going to answer affirmative to the request of Secretary Almendras to allow truck operators to utilize once again the truck lanes traversing Roxas Boulevard,” Tolentino said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the MMDA announced that it will begin offering free shuttle to airline passengers going to the airports starting Monday as a traffic-mitigating messure.<\/p>\n

Tolentino said that they will deploy six buses, including electric buses, for the service to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport’s Terminals 2, 3, and 4.<\/p>\n

The MMDA chief said the measure is aimed at reducing the number of vehicles going to the airports which is expected to increase during the Christmas season.<\/p>\n

“Instead of these passengers utilizing their own private cars or cabs to bring them to the airport, they can go as a group by availing of the free airport shuttle service we are providing,” he said.<\/p>\n

Tolentino said the South West Integrated Provincial Terminal (SWIPT) in Para\u00f1aque City and SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City will be designated as pick-up points.<\/p>\n

He also explained that the “MMDA Airport Christmas Shuttle” service will run until Dec. 23.<\/p>\n

Airline passengers have to show their airline tickets to avail of the service.<\/p>\n

The MMDA, with the cooperation of public utility bus operators, has also dispatched similar shuttle services to six major malls along Epifanio Delos Santos Ave. (EDSA) to provide hassle-free and safe transportation to mall employees and late-night shoppers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
