Provincial buses allowed on EDSA until Nov. 3 – BusinessWorld Online
THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that it would temporarily allow provincial buses to traverse Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) amid an expected surge of passengers.
“As part of Oplan Undas 2025, the temporary passage of provincial buses along Edsa aims to speed up their turnaround time and ensure continuous trips for their passengers,” the agency said in an advisory late on Wednesday.
The MMDA said that buses from North Luzon may stop at terminals in Cubao, Quezon City, while those from South Luzon may only stop at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) and Pasay.
The MMDA said that provincial buses would be allowed to pass through the highway from Oct. 30, 10 p.m. to Nov. 3, 5 a.m.
The agency added that temporary measure was due to the request of the National Association of Provincial Bus Operators of the Philippines, Inc.
“The group assured that it will follow the agency’s nose-in, nose-out policy so as not to severely affect traffic,” it added. — Adrian H. Halili
