  • What's the purpose of the dry run?

    The system dry run is aimed to raise public awareness as it nears full implementation.
  • According to the agency, it is planning to start the dry run in the first or second week of April this year.

    During the recent Metro Manila Council (MMC) meeting, MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Romando Artes said that there is a need to have a system dry run to raise public awareness as it nears full implementation.

    He said that the local government units of San Juan, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque, Manila, and Caloocan have expressed their readiness to participate in the dry run.

    The MMDA chief said that the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has drafted a memorandum of agreement pertaining to interconnectivity with various LGU.

     "LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Jay Art Tugade has committed to submit the MOA tomorrow (March 3)," he added.

    For his part, MMC President and San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora reiterated the importance of the single ticketing system. “The implementation of the single ticketing system will highly benefit our motorists because they have the option to pay thru online channels for their violations,” Zamora said.

    Under the aforementioned method, traffic violators in the National Capital Region can easily settle their penalties through Bayad Centers all over the country or through mobile apps.

    Earlier, Metro Manila mayors have adopted the single ticketing system through the approval of the Metro Manila Traffic Code (MMTC) of 2023. This guarantees harmonized fines and penalties across the metropolitan area.
