MMDA Prowling Twitter for Traffic Violations

Posted on August 28th, 2010. Written by Rico.

One government web presence that has proven really useful is the MMDA Twitter account. Whoever’s managing it has done a great job—to the point that you should watch what you say online.

Take a cue from KC Montero who shared his sneaky transportation enterprise: “Color coding now playing hide seek on my way to a meeting at tv5.”

(This was around 5pm on a Thursday. So Mr. Montero drives a car with a license plate number ending in 7 or 8?)

Unfortunately, the MMDA was watching: “@KCMontero sir, MMDA repellant is obeying the traffic rules and regulations. :)”

Seriously though, the MMDA Twitter account has done a great job of providing timely traffic updates, complete with pictures! Now if only the government agency can push for better mass transit systems in Metro Manila!

Pakiusap lang po sa mga MMDA traffic enforcers dyan sa may MRT Shaw, pakiayos lang po ang mga pasaway na bus dyan (tapat ng Starmall at paglagpas ng Shaw Blvd.) kasi sila ang madalas na sanhi ng trapiko dahil sinasakop ng mga bus ang inner lane para lang mag antay at magsakay ng pasahero. Dapat sa loob lang ang bus ng yellow lane. Kung pwede nga lang sana lagyan nyo ng screen ang guhit na yellow tulad sa Cubao eh mas mabuti para malaman kung sino ang mga pasaway at mabigyan ng leksyon.
