The local
government is to start the strict implementation of seizing of tricycles which
would infract the Color Coding Scheme in the island of Boracay.
Based on the
statement of Island Administrator, Glenn Sacapaño, this has already been started last Friday,
June 15, 2012 by the Boracay Land Transportation Multi Purpose Cooperative or
BLTMPC.
However since
June 15 was declared to be an official holiday this has been held up, thereby declaring
this day for the formal implementation of the said scheme.
In this light,
tricycles that are on trip during 6 am to 6 pm that are not on the schedule are
expected to be apprehended.
Meanwhile the
dry run of the color coding last Friday has been successful and effective as it
resulted to lesser traffic on the island as anticipated.
However the
problem with the traffic wasn’t 100% cleared, because some tricycles are still
practicing illegal parking’s and u-turns, as well as improper loading and
un-loading causing the traffic to build up.
Aside from
this, it has been observed that many commuters were not accommodated as most
units were already loaded.
