On the first day of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s (MMDA) Bus Management and Dispatch System (BMDS), an erring bus driver with 99 unsettled traffic violations was told to keep off the streets.
The latest brainchild of the MMDA, BMDS targets public bus drivers with previous traffic records and unsettled tickets.Frequent violators will not be allowed to go behind the wheel.
Under the scheme, drivers have to go through fingerprint or biometric scanning at designated dispatch terminals.
Inquirer News reported that the program was launched and tested at the MMDA bus dispatch terminal in Fairview, Quezon City on Thursday.
