BATANGAS CITY - Bicycle lanes are designated in this city for the public who use bicycles as transportation in accordance with the new ordinance passed by the Batangas City Council, the Batangas City Bicycle Ordinance.
Bicycles became a major use under the enhanced community quarantine and even now the city is in the general community quarantine due to the lack of public transportation commuting throughout the city.
Accordingly, pursuant to point (a) of Section 8 of Ordinance No. 12, designated bicycle lanes that can be used on major city streets have been established. It was later called Bicycle Designated Lanes, Rights, Duties, and Obligations of Bicycle Commuters or Riders.

The bicycle route may have a revision or adjustment based on the recommendation of the Traffic Development and Regulation Office (TDRO) and the approval of the City.
Most Batangueno currently use bicycles to get to work especially the tricycle charge increase which is the main form of transportation today in the city. Although some jeepneys are commuting, this is still not enough for the number of passengers who have to undergo the skeletal workforce in their offices or companies.
