Mendoza said he also ordered the LTO-National Capital Region to identify the driver of the taxi.

“Nagiging bisyo na ng ilang mga abusadong motorista ang paggamit ng Edsa Bus Carousel. We recognize the limited manpower of the MMDA to strictly enforce and while the LTO has the same problem, we will tap some of our enforcers to reinforce our brothers in the MMDA in keeping an eye on the Edsa Bus Carousel,” said Mendoza.
