(The public still finds it difficult to commute under GCQ so the MMDA would not like to add to motorists&#x27; problems.)&quot;Sa ngayon po, hindi po muna i-implement ang modified number coding scheme bukas until further notice.&quot;(For now, the modified number coding scheme will not be implemented tomorrow until further notice.)Work and public transport resumed at limited capacity last June 1, when Metro Manila and other urban areas transitioned to a looser lockdown after 11 weeks of enhanced community quarantine.

The implementation of a modified number coding scheme in Metro Manila is suspended until further notice due to limited public transportation, transport authorities said Sunday.
