From InterAksyon (Nov 23): Bonifacio Naval Station to be opened to motorists to ease traffic

Another military facility is being opened to motorists to improve the flow of traffic, in expectation of the usual congestion in the run-up to the holidays.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will open the Bonifacio Naval Station (BNS) in Taguig City as an alternate route for public vehicles with the appropriate decals.

Last week, officials said parts of Camp Aguinaldo will be opened to motorists who secure pass cards or decals beforehand.

Such decals or pass cards to be issued to motorists in Camp Aguinaldo will also be honored for those seeking to enter the BNS facility, MMDA General Manager Tim Orbos said.

Motorists coming from Villamor Airbase in Pasay City going to Bonifacio Global City area and vice-versa can use the BNS to bypass the traffic snarl along Lawton Avenue.

At present, only vehicles of military personnel and those with decals or pass cards are allowed to pass through BNS going to Pasong Tamo Extension from Lawton Avenue.

Orbos said motorists wishing to use the route may apply for the decal or pass card starting Thursday, November 24, 2016.

The application forms are available at the MMDA main office in Makati City.

Earlier, the MMDA, along with the I-ACT, announced that Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City will be opened to motorists to decongest the area on EDSA northbound, accommodating vehicles going to and coming from Katipunan Avenue and nearby roads.
