With that, ang lifting ng window hour sa number coding scheme ay ating i-scrap. Hindi na po natin gagawin,” Artes said.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/23/23/mmda-says-effect-of-transport-strike-minimal">MMDA says effect of transport strike minimal</a></li></ul>Artes added that the move is to give way for motorists who own one vehicle and may be affected by the lifting of window hour.While the MMDA has indefinitely scrapped the lifting, Artes said it would depend on the traffic situation.“Kung makita siguro nila na extreme case na, na talagang hindi halos gumagalaw ang traffic, siguro mapipilitan na tayo,” Artes said.In preparation for “carmageddon” in the holiday season, MMDA implemented the duty extension of its traffic enforcers until 12 a.m. for traffic management past mall hours. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/20/23/mmdas-proposals-vs-jaywalking-lifts-fences-fines">MMDA&#x27;s proposals vs jaywalking: Lifts, fences, fines</a></li></ul>Since November 13, adjusted mall hours are at 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
