At the Kapihan sa Manila Bay, Zamora said that the MMC will continue to hold the dry-run for the digitalization project by the first or second week of April or after the Holy Week.
He added that despite some cities that not have passed their respective ordinances prior to the set deadline on March 15, Metro Manila mayors have set a "self-imposed” target of implementation of the single ticketing system by the end of April 30 this year.
Last March 2, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes said the dry run would benefit the traffic enforcers, both from the agency and the 17 local government units as they would be familiarized with the system. Artes disclosed that seven local government units in Metro Manila have signified their interest to have the dry-run in their areas. These are San Juan, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque, Manila, and Caloocan.
