EO 2008CGJ-39 Odd-Even Traffic Scheme

May 24, 2008

Mayor Constantino Jaraula issued EO 2008CGJ-39 last May 5, 2008 saying that he has conducted “studies and consultations” on how vehicular traffic coming to and from east of the city needs to be re-routed based on an “odd-even coding route” and regulated using what he dubs as “Privilege Entry Passes.”

The same order now requires all PUJ eastward bound drivers to install new sign boards printed “authorized to enter the city” atop the roof of their units and the last digit of their plate numbers, undergo seminars and agree that passengers picked up from Limketkai/Ororama to PUJ Eastbound Terminal be free of charge.

For those PUJs that enter the Eastbound Terminal like those plying the Gusa and Lapasan routes, the drivers and operators will now be required to put bear the sign “City Limit” and the odd or even number of their vehicle’s plate numbers.

Jaraula’s order includes how all PUJs with franchises to operate east of the city or “outside franchised PUJs” are now to drop by and get registered at the Gusa East-Bound PUJ Terminal and secure a “Privilege Entry Passes” at the rate of P20.00 in addition to Eastbound Terminal fee.

He said the East-Bound PUJ Terminal Management then “shall not allow more than 16 PUJ units to proceed to Ororama Mega Center or Limketkai Commercial Complex” at two-minute intervals, return to the Gusa Eastbound PUJ Terminal within 30 minutes to surrender their Privilege Entry Passes and then take their outward trips.

He added that those PUJ drivers, operators or conductors who fail to surrender the Pass shall be subject to disciplinary sanctions and those who fail to return within 30 minutes shall be issued a fine of P7.00 per minute of delay.

Moreover, these outside-franchised PUJs are to follow an odd-even code re-routing scheme which is based on their plate numbers – that is whether it ends on an odd number or an even number.

From the national highway, those PUJs with plate numbers ending on an even number or even number PUJs shall proceed to the Gusa Eastbound PUJ Terminal by taking a left at Galaxy Road then right to JR Borja Extension and then enter the terminal to get their “Privilege Entry Passes.”

These even-number PUJs shall then shall enter the JR Borja extension towards the city proper then turn right to Pimentel Street and turn left to either Ororama/Limketkai for their 30 minute stay.

These PUJs are then to head back to Gusa Eastbound PUJ Terminal by turning right at CM Recto street from the Limketkai Drive or from Ororama – pass along the back of BPI turn to the National Highway passing Lapasan via San Pedro Street then exit head eastward using the JR Borja and Galaxy Road.

Odd-number PUJs will have the same requirements above. From the Eastbond PUJ Terminal exit through San Pedro Street and turn left at CM Recto National Highway towards the City, then turn left to Ororama Mega premises.

From Limketkai Drive, odd-number PUJs will then turn right at CM Recto National Highway, then turn right at the San Pedro Street to the Eastbound PUJ Terminal. From the Ororama waiting station, proceed to Pimentel Street towards Barangay Camaman-an, then turn left at JR Borja Extension and enter the East Bound Terminal. Then exit at San Pedro Street and turn right at the National Highway. (By Liza Amarga)
