Vehicular volume up by 15K cars daily – MMDA

VEHICULAR traffic increases by up to 15,000 cars daily during rush hour, even on weekends, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said on Monday, warning motorists that the situation will worsen in the days leading to Christmas break.

"Traffic used to be light on Saturdays and Sundays, but now, even on weekends, traffic is very heavy, mainly because people flock to malls during those days," Victor Nuñez, director of the MMDA Traffic Enforcement Group, said in a public briefing on Monday.
