"If the policy is planned to be tested in September, I think it must be delayed first until our mass transportation is ready," he expressed, at City Council building, Tuesday (8/8).

He explained, mass transportation modes in question are Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). 

"We have to propagate mass transportation first such as MRT, LRT and BRT. If everything is realized, the policy can be applied," he said.
