(PNA file photo) MANILA - A House leader on Friday urged the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Land Transport Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to reconsider the window hour scheme imposed on provincial buses or else Congress would have to subpoena these agencies to explain. In a statement, House ways and means committee chairperson Joey Salceda said the MMDA and LTFRB should drop all these "unclear restrictions" on provincial buses on EDSA, particularly the new policy allowing provincial bus operators to use their private terminals from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. only. Outside these window hours, they may only use designated terminals prescribed by the national government, such as the Araneta Bus Port, Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, Valenzuela Gateway Complex, North Luzon Express Terminal. Salceda said clear guidelines should be jointly issued by the two agencies, and stakeholder consultation and evidence-based policymaking should be used
