The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will begin imposing higher fines this November 13 for motor vehicles caught using the EDSA bus lane.
&ldquo;I-impose na po natin yung higher penalty sa pagpasok sa bus lane so inaabisuhan ko po ang ating mga kababayan na wag na po tayong gumamit kung hindi tayo awtorisado sa bus lane,&rdquo; MMDA Chair Don Artes told reporters on Monday, Nov. 6.&nbsp;

The memorandum stated that unauthorized motor vehicles continually disregarded the policy regarding exclusive bus carousel lanes despite constant warnings.
