MANILA — More than 20 vehicles were apprehended by Department of Transportation (DOTr) operatives Monday morning for illegally passing through EDSA busway.

DOTr's Social Action and Intelligence Committee on Transportation (SAICT) started the apprehension at 5 a.m. 

Most of the apprehended motorists were motor-taxi drivers who did not have passengers. Provincial buses and SUVs were also caught illegally using the EDSA busway.

One motorcycle was transferred to the impounding facility after the driver showed an expired registration document.
