According to Val Gonzales' report during Dos Por Dos, more than 30 vehicles had already received traffic violation tickets as of 7 a.m.
The MMDA was stationed on both sides of Commonwealth Avenue as they began on the road from Eastbound to Fairview to Westbound.
Among the reported vehicles that were intercepted was a "kulong-kulong" tricycle driven by an unlicensed 18-year-old boy. His tricycle is set to be impounded.

According to the violators, they have no idea that the ban will begin today.
Under the MMDA Regulation 24-022, e-bikes, e-trikes, tricycles, pedicabs, pushcarts, and kuligligs are prohibited from traversing national roads, circumferential roads, and radial roads in Metro Manila.
