E-trikes and tricycles are seen plying along Taft Avenue in Manila on February 3, 2024 despite reminders from the Department of Interior and Local Government to the local governments to enforce the DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-195, which bans e-bikes, pedicabs, and tricycles on national roads and major thoroughfares.
"The popularity of e-trikes is simply one of the manifestations of the Government’s failure to answer the basic needs of ordinary Filipinos for mobility," said AltMobility PH director Ira Cruz. MMDA acting chairperson Don Artes earlier said that violators of the new MMC resolution would be fined with P2,500. E-bike and e-trike drivers would also be required to have licenses before operating said vehicles.
"It might be worth noting that we saw the closure of PNR in the latter part of March; This April, the restrictions of MMDA on e-trikes and the impending deadline for PUVMP consolidation."ASUS redefines smart productivity for modern era with two new Zenbooks
