MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The construction of bicycle lanes along Edsa will start on Saturday, June 13 amid the growing number of cyclists as COVID-19 quarantine and health protocols resulted in a shortage of public transportation units and options. The DOTr, in a social media post, said Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade sealed an agreement with Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Danny Lim to expedite the construction of bicycle lanes. ADVERTISEMENT“Our goal is to move people while making sure of their safety,” Tugade said.
