An incomplete report from 24 Oras

Jeers to 24 Oras for an incomplete report about a recent Metro Manila Development Agency (MMDA) plan to weed out colorum buses and improve the city’s heavy traffic congestion.

Last Jan. 22, 24 Oras reported that MMDA has started installing microchips to track buses plying Epifanio de los Santos Avenue and other major thoroughfares. The report however did not provide enough details about the microchip installment and the Organized Bus Route (OBR) scheme. (The installment of microchips is part of the larger OBR measure.) How MMDA crafted this policy and the effectiveness of microchips in weeding out colorum buses were not explained in the report.
