PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to give e-bikes and e-trikes a one-month grace period before imposing the ban on them on national roads.
“Ngayong araw na ito, iniutos ko sa MMDA at sa lahat ng lokal na pamahaalan sa Metro Manila na bigyan ng palugit ang mga e-bikes, e-trikes at iba pang apektadong sasakyan na dumadaan sa ilang tukoy na daan sa Metro Manila,” Marcos said on X.
The President said more time is needed to educate the public about the ban, which will remain in place.
“Sakop ng grace period ay ang hindi pag-ticket, pagmulta at pag-impound ng mga “e-trike,” he added.
“If they will be apprehended, the purpose is to inform them about the roads they can ply, and remind them about the new policies being enforced to maintain order and safety in the streets.” (GP)
Ban on e-bikes, e-trikes stays, but no penalty for violators for now–Marcos
