A lawmaker described as “inhumane” the new policy of MMDA that tells operatives to apprehend and fine motorcycle riders who will seek shelter from the rain or heat of the sun under footbridges and flyovers. | JEMendozaINQ
Bosita said MMDA’s new scheme can prompt riders to raise the speed of their motorcycles during downpours because they will try to reach as quickly as they can other structures where they can seek cover.
“Tumitigil at sumisilong ang mga kapatid nating riders sa ilalim ng footbridge at underpass dahil kailangan nilang gawin ito para maiwasan ang sakit at maipagpatuloy nila ang hanap-buhay para sa pamilya,” Bosita explained. “Tinutulak nila sa kapahamakan ang mga riders na walang kapote sapagkat bibilisan nila ang pagpapatakbo ng motorsilo kapag naabutan sila ng ulan para sumilong sa gasolinahan,” the lawmaker said.
Instead of implementing this policy, Bosita suggested MMDA should, instead, allocate to motorcycle riders the spaces under the stairs of footbridges.“Ang lingkod po ninyo ay isang registered civil engineer at alam po natin na maaari at magandang ilaan sa mga riders ang espasyo sa ilalim ng hagdan ng footbridge at iba pang mga lugar na ligtas para sa kanila,” he said.
“Hindi sila magiging obstruction sa pedestrians at iba pang mga motorista, umuulan man o mainit ang sikat ng araw,” he guaranteed.Motorists who will be caught violating this new scheme will pay a fine of P500.
