The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) recommends adjusting national government agency work hours to 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. to ease traffic during EDSA rehabilitation. This change is supported by a survey showing it can reduce travel time by 10.2% and increase speed by 20.7%. The proposal aims to decrease private vehicle use by 37.15% during peak hours, benefiting 223,508 employees and improving public transport.
