THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will ban e-bikes, e-trikes, tricycles, pedicabs, pushcarts, and kuligligs on national roads, circumferential roads, and radial roads in Metro Manila starting April 15.
This was announced by MMDA Acting Chairperson Romando Artes on Monday following a stakeholder’s consultation meeting on the formulation of implementing rules and regulations.
“We will just enforce this prohibition because of the increasing number of accidents involving e-bikes, e-trikes, and e-scooters. We will not wait for these figures to go higher and the situation to worsen,” he said.
“We will incorporate in the IRR all the suggestions to address all the concerns and issues that have arisen and will conduct an information drive and campaign prior to the enforcement of the regulation,” he added.
