MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will be piloting the single-ticketing system (STS) in seven cities in Metro Manila starting Tuesday.

Speaking at the Laging Handa public briefing on Monday, lawyer Melissa Carunungan, spokesperson for the MMDA, said the STS would be rolled out in Manila, Parañaque, Caloocan, Quezon City, San Juan, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela and at the MMDA headquarters in Pasig City.

Carunungan said the STS would bring “great convenience” to motorists as the top 20 most common traffic violations will have the same fines, contesting procedures, and digital payment platforms.

Among the most common 20 traffic violations included disregarding traffic signs, violations of the number coding scheme, illegal parking, violations of the truck ban and tricycle bans, reckless driving, traffic obstruction, loading and unloading of passengers in prohibited zones, noncompliance of the dress code by motorcycle drivers, defective motorcycle accessories, illegal counterflow and overspeeding.

After the seven cities, the STS would be implemented regionwide and eventually nationwide.

“That way, if there are problems, we can fix them and adjust before launching everywhere. If it’s implemented everywhere at once, most of the time there are more problems compared to launching in [fewer areas] first. So we [need to] make sure the system is seamless,” she added.
