San Juan City Mayor and Metro Manila Council (MMC) President Francis Zamora said that the MMC is targeting the implementation of the single ticketing system by the end of April this year. "We are targeting the end of April for its implementation. Sa ilalim ng single ticketing system, hindi na po kukumpiskahin ang inyong mga lisensya. Pangalawa, ang 20 common violations po ay magkakaroon ng standaridzed fines. Pangatlo at ang para sakin ay ang pinakamahalaga sa ating publiko ay kung tayo po ay mamumultahan dahil tayo ay nagviolate, pwede na ho tayong magbayad saan man sa Pilipinas sa pamamagitan po ng mga digital payment platforms (We are targeting the end of April for its implementation. Under the single ticketing system, authorities will no longer confiscate the driver's licenses of violators, the 20 common violations will be having standardized fines, and lastly and for me is the most important to the public, if ever you have committed a violation, you may now pay your fine anywhere in the Philippines through digital payment platforms)," Zamora said in an interview with ABS-CBN. "So we do not have to go to the city hall anymore kung saan tayo nahuli para lang magbayad. Kahit saan tayo sa Pilipinas, meron tayong pagkakataong magbayad at ito yung convenience na mararanasan ng ating mga mamamayan lalo na ho yung mga nakatira sa malalayong lugar halimbawa taga Ilocos or taga Bicol na napadaan ng Maynila at nahuli dito. Hindi na kinakailangang bumalik dito para lang magbayad ng multa (So we do not have to go to the city hall of the city where we committed the violation anymore to pay our fine. Wherever we may be in the Philippines, we have a chance to settle our fine and this is the biggest convenience the public may experience under the system especially those who live in far flung areas. For example, you live in Ilocos or Bicol and you committed a traffic violation in Manila, you no longer have to go back to the city to pay)," he added. On March 2, the MMC said that it was eyeing the first or second week of April this year as a dry run period for the implementation of the single-ticketing system for all traffic violations in the National Capital Region (NCR). Manila Traffic Code of 2023 will provide for a system of interconnectivity among government instrumentalities involved in the transport and traffic management in the metropolis with harmonized fines and penalties. Around 20 common traffic violations are covered by the single-ticketing system. Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes said the dry run would benefit the traffic enforcers, both from the agency and the 17 local government units (LGUs) as they would be familiarized with the system. It will also serve as an opportunity to address technical glitches that may arise, especially that the system would be online and would be connected to the information and technology system of the Land Transportation Office (LTO). Under the single ticketing system, it will be easier for traffic violators in NCR to settle their penalties through Bayad Centers all over the country or through mobile apps. 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.
