00:00 The arrest of motorcycle riders who cross the bike lane in EDSA has already started.
00:06 Let's take a look at the situation in EDSA.
00:08 Mandaluyong, live from James Agustin.

00:13 James.
00:14 Good morning.
00:19 The fine for motorcycle riders who cross the bike lane in EDSA is P1,000.
00:28 I have different opinions on this,
00:30 regarding motorcycle riders who are now cyclists.
00:34 In the images obtained by MMDA,
00:38 motorcycle riders are in different parts of EDSA in designated bike lanes.
00:44 Sometimes, other motorists also cross the bike lane.
00:48 That's why the bikers can no longer use the lane for them.
00:52 Ricky is daily pedaling to get to work
00:55 from Quezon City to Makati City.
00:58 Sometimes, he almost crashes his motorcycle
01:01 that suddenly crosses the bike lane.
01:02 Sometimes, I go home and there's traffic in EDSA.
01:05 Sometimes, motorcycles pass through the bike lane.
01:09 Sometimes, when there's traffic, we are forced to use the lane.
01:12 Renee, a motorcycle rider, admitted that he has crossed the bike lane several times.
01:17 Just like a small one, you can't pass through other bikes.
01:20 But you can return to the regular path.
01:23 Because of the traffic.
01:23 Yes, there's a lot of traffic.
01:25 MMDA said that motorcycle riders are not fast lane bikers.
01:29 From today, motorists will be caught
01:32 using the bike lane in EDSA.
01:35 The fine is P1,000 for a disregarding traffic sign.
01:39 The opinion of the motorcycle riders we talked to is different.
01:42 You should really close the bike lane.
01:45 Some people really cross the bike lane even though the EDSA is wide.
01:50 And for the cyclists, they should give them their own lane.
01:57 Maybe it's just us.
01:59 P1,000 is a lot.
02:01 Life is hard.
02:02 How much do you earn?
02:04 For the cyclists who cross the EDSA every day,
02:08 motorists should be punished.
02:11 Why?
02:12 Because they are in the way of the bike.
02:16 Maybe they should be given a display
02:18 to warn them every once in a while.
02:22 And then?
02:22 So that when they are caught again,
02:26 they will be punished.
02:27 It's dangerous for the bike lane.
02:29 Because they are fast.
02:31 Meanwhile, we are still waiting for the first day of the arrest
02:39 from MMDA to see if they will be arrested
02:42 or if they will just warn the motorcycle riders
02:46 who cross the bike lane.
