Well, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), via MMDA Regulation No. 23-002, has now increased the fines for EDSA Bus Carousel violators, whether they’re in public or private vehicles. Check them out below:

Increased fines for EDSA Busway violators​

1. First offense – P5,000
2. Second offense – P10,000, plus one-month suspension of driver’s license and mandatory road safety seminar
3. Third offense – P20,000, plus one-year suspension of driver’s license
4. Fourth offense – P30,000, plus possible revocation of driver’s license
   
   
   
5. "Based on our data and observation, there are those who are willing to pay the P1,000 fines and violated the exclusivity of the bus lane because they can afford it...kalimitan kotse ng mayayaman," said MMDA acting chairman Romando Artes, adding that the new fines are neither anti-poor nor a money-making scheme.
   
   He also said that an information drive will be conducted by the MMDA before the higher fines are rolled out. We’ll let you know once an implementation date has been set, but in the meantime, do you think these new penalties will serve to discourage violators? Let us know in the comments.

Mgnda din yn para mabawasan mga pasaway at hndi na umulit.. napeperwisyo mga commuter.. sa pgmamaneho ko sa edsa naaawa aku sa mga commuter lalo na pg rush hour..

Papasok sasakyan tpoz isa lng sakay.. tpos i-hahassle nya ung 1 bus na may lamang 200 commuter.. pg may kasunod pang bus e d 400 commuter na naperwisyo nung sasakyan na isa lng ang sakay..

Tanggalan nalang sanang driver's license kasi napaka obvious na bawal sila dumaan dyan pero dumadaan parin. Parang hindi dumaan ng driving course.

Dito sa UAE minimum fine ng parking 150AED(2200 php), iba pa kpag Police ang nag issue ng fine, 500AED(7500 php), parking lang yan. Prohibited entry(Bus lane, Private Access etc) 1000AED(15000php) Kaya tama lng na taasan ang fines para matakot un mga violators.
