The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has asked the Supreme Court to lift the temporary restraining order on its version of the no-contact apprehension policy (NCAP) to help ease traffic during the upcoming EDSA rehabilitation.
The MMDA, through the Office of the Solicitor General, filed an urgent motion to reinstate the policy, claiming it has addressed concerns raised during previous oral deliberations.
Opponents argue that the NCAP is an arbitrary fund-raising scheme with inadequate traffic management and enforcement by a private service provider.
If the Supreme Court denies the request, the MMDA plans to enforce NCAP only on buses regulated by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board along EDSA.
The EDSA rehabilitation, set to last up to 18 months, will begin with repairs to the EDSA Bus Carousel lane, with final plans to be discussed by the MMDA, Department of Transportation, and Department of Public Works and Highways.
