Use of EDSA bus lane for food trucks pushed

PHILIPPINE STAR/MICHAEL VARCAS

A RESOLUTION seeking to expedite the transportation of food and perishable products by allowing delivery trucks to ply the EDSA busway lane at night was filed at the House of Representatives on Monday.

Allowing trucks carrying food products to use the EDSA bus lane from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. would provide an “efficient route” for the transportation of food items and improve supply chain productivity between producers and consumers, said Party-list Rep. Wilbert T. Lee, who filed House Resolution (HR) No. 2162.

“Through this, we can ensure the timely transport of fresh produce, meats, dairy, and other essential food items to Metro Manila and neighboring areas, which will help lower food prices and achieve food security,” he said in a statement.

The EDSA busway is a dedicated lane for the bus rapid transit system of the Philippine capital region. It runs along several Metro Manila cities, serving as a major transportation artery.

“The use of the EDSA busway at night would be able to avoid the peak traffic hours and allow for the efficient movement of goods without disrupting the regular operations of public transportation… during daytime hours,” HR No. 2162 stated. — Kenneth Christiane L. Basilio
