Mandaluyong launches single ticketing system

MANILA, Philippines — Mandaluyong is the latest local government unit in the National Capital Region to implement the single ticketing system traffic policy of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

MMDA general manager Procopio Lipana on Monday turned over 30 handheld ticketing devices and body-worn cameras to be used by traffic enforces of the local government.

Mandaluyong Mayor Benjamin Abalos Sr. said the ticketing devices and body-worn cameras would help local traffic enforcers in going after traffic violators.

City hall procured 100 body-worn cameras, Abalos said.

The single ticketing system seeks to harmonize the existing national and local laws on traffic enforcement to establish an effective transport and traffic management system in Metro Manila.

Acting MMDA Chairman Romando Artes had announced that the single ticketing system is being enforced in 15 cities in the metropolis.
