Poe calls for study on expanded number
coding; is it solution to traffic congestion?

SENATOR Grace Poe said the planned expanded number coding scheme of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) would need a thorough study since it would affect both motorists and commuters.

Poe, head of the Senate Committee on Public Services, said the MMDA must first conduct first a series of consultations with the affected sector to avoid being accused of resorting to knee-jerk reactions to resolve the traffic woes.
