Bikers plying the EDSA southbound bike lane in Quezon City navigate through passing motorcycles and cars on April 24, 2024.MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation has committed to sustain its efforts to promote active transport, as it faces criticism for considering the removal of the bicycle lane along EDSA.
The DOTr and MMDA are evaluating whether to eliminate the bike lane in EDSA to make way for a motorcycle lane. Based on the MMDA’s monitoring, the bike lane on EDSA is used by around 1,500 cyclists daily. In spite of this, the agency vowed to prioritize programs and projects for pedestrians and cyclists by investing in active transport.
“The DOTr heeds the long-overlooked clamor of public and active transport commuters to have better commuting experience by pushing for expanded and safer walkways and bike lanes, most especially along national roads,” the DOTr said.
