00:25This Monday rush hour, there are people who are trying to cross the road.
00:30Just like those who were caught by the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation of OSAIT and the Department of Transportation.
00:37Most of the motorists were safe.
00:40They were just in the middle of the traffic, that's why they were allowed to enter the busway.
00:45I was in a hurry, that's why I did it. I was just in a hurry.
00:49And you were safe on the busway?
00:52Yes, because I was in the middle of the traffic. I didn't want to give up.
00:56I was just in the middle of the busway, but not inside.
01:00But the OSAIT did not give up.
01:02The OSAIT was with the LTFRB and the Philippine Coast Guard.
01:06They were also double-checking the emergency vehicles that were passing by to see if there are people who need to be rushed to the hospital.
01:14But the next person who was caught was still under the law.
01:18He explained that he was just helping the first ambulance to enter the busway.
01:23Yes, because the ambulance was on the right. I was helping the left ambulance to enter the busway.
01:29So that it can be rushed to the hospital?
01:30Yes.
01:31I was supposed to be in the busway because it's an emergency.
01:34So you were rushed to the hospital?
01:36I was rushed to the hospital, but I was caught.
01:39Even so, the OSAIT still closed the busway.
01:43Some of the buses allowed to use the busway are the LTFRB Authorized Bus or EDSA Bus Carousel,
01:49on-duty ambulances with passengers, firetrucks, and police vehicles with urgent operations.
01:55In total, 30 vehicles were caught in the EDSA Bus Carousel this morning.
02:0128 of the closed vehicles are motorcycles, while 2 are government vehicles.
