    Most of the aforementioned riders are seen wearing protective rain gear but still choose to stay under footbridges.

    Per MMDA Traffic Discipline Office Director for Enforcement Victor Nuñez, riders seeking cover under footbridges lead to road obstruction, which is dangerous. The aim of apprehending the riders impeding the flow of traffic is for the safety of all motorists.
