[Title] => Oil on EDSA, margarine on C-5 Road
[Summary] => A passenger bus and a truck accidentally spilled crude oil on EDSA in separate incidents yesterday morning, aggravating the rush hour traffic on the busy thoroughfare.
According to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Metrobase, the passenger bus (PWU 366) spilled oil on the southbound lane of EDSA near Shaw Boulevard at around 6:30 a.m.
The MMDA did not have to pour sand on the oil because the passing vehicles helped dry the oil faster, Metrobase said.
The bus driver remains unidentified as of press time but the vehicle was already impounded.

[Title] => Gov’t urged to remove illegal buses on EDSA
[Summary] => An official of one of the biggest groups of bus operators yesterday said that 40 percent of the 3,000 buses plying EDSA daily are operating illegally.
Gary Alvin Peñalosa, vice-president and spokesperson of the North East Metro Bus Operators Group (Nembog), said that traffic along EDSA is actually caused by these colorum buses.
"The removal of these illegal buses would also ease traffic on EDSA and enable legitimate bus operators toearn more," he said.

[Title] => MMDA defends EDSA bus scheme
[Summary] => A ranking Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) official said yesterday that those opposed to the agency’s organized EDSA bus route, are mostly illegal bus operators.
"The legitimate bus operators are cooperative. Ang illegal operators ang maingay at madaldal," said MMDA Traffic Operations Center Executive Director Angelito Vergel de Dios.
Vergel de Dios said this was because the new traffic scheme, which resumed yesterday, prevents colorum bus operators from plying EDSA.
