Erap’s ‘one-lane’ tack to clog roads – truckers

A group of truckers challenged Manila Mayor Joseph “Erap” Estrada to see for himself traffic conditions in the city after receiving advisory that starting Monday a “one-lane” policy for cargo trucks will be implemented from Bonifacio Avenue in Caloocan City to Manila piers.

“Effective Monday, all trucks should take one lane from Bonifacio Avenue in Caloocan City to C-5, Road 10 up to Port Area in Manila. This will delay our trips and once again trucking traffic will be experienced along North Luzon Expressway from Pampanga exit,” said Abraham Rebao, director of Aduana Business Club, a group of truckers and brokers based in Binondo, Manila.
