The new record indicates a lower number of violations compared to the first two days of NCAP reimplementation.

On Monday, the MMDA logged 1,112 offenses, while 952 traffic violations were recorded on Tuesday.

The offenses were primarily for ignoring traffic signs, violating bus lanes, and engaging in illegal loading and unloading.

MMDA Traffic Enforcement Group Director Victor Nuñez recently stated that the recorded violations under NCAP were also “relatively low” compared to the over 3,900 offenses they recorded on May 19, when the policy had not yet been reimplemented.
