WHEREAS, on December 17, 2012 TTMO Memorandum Circular No. 14, Series of 2012 “Implementing Guidelines on the Implementation of the Bus Stop Segregation Scheme Along Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA)” was issued;

WHEREAS, in the said TTMO MC No. 14, Series of 2012, authorized city buses were marked and designated as Bus “A”, “B”, and “C”;
WHEREAS, it has been observed that a lot of fake stickers were installed on different city buses with the intention of defrauding the traffic enforcers and stop on bus stops of their choice;
WHEREAS, in order to address this irregular activity of bus operators/drivers and to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of the bus segregation scheme, there is a need to change the “A”, “B”, “C” stickers installed on city buses;
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the mandate of RA 7924 and the authority granted by the Metro Manila Council, the “A”, “B”, “C” stickers installed on city buses shall be changed as follows:
