Metro Manila’s vital EDSA Busway is poised for a significant expansion, promising a more convenient commute for hundreds of thousands. Plans are underway to add three crucial stations along the bustling Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, directly addressing the needs of a rapidly growing ridership.
Construction of the new stations – strategically located in Cubao, Magallanes, and the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) – is slated to begin in the coming months. Officials anticipate completion by the fourth quarter of 2026, marking a major step forward in improving public transportation infrastructure.
The EDSA Busway has already proven its impact, serving over 63 million passengers in the past year alone. This translates to an average of 177,000 commuters relying on the dedicated bus lane each day, highlighting its critical role in the city’s transport network.
The ultimate vision for the EDSA Busway is a comprehensive system of 23 stations operating 24/7. This expansion will bring that goal closer to reality, offering a reliable and efficient alternative to congested roadways.
Adding to the immediate improvements, the newly constructed Kamuning station is set to open its doors in the first quarter. This station will feature modern amenities like elevators and escalators, ensuring accessibility for all commuters.
Further enhancing connectivity, a P89-million footbridge in Kamuning is nearing completion. This structure is designed to seamlessly link the EDSA Busway with the Metro Rail Transit Line 3, creating a truly integrated transportation hub.
The footbridge isn’t simply a crossing; it’s a vital connection point, allowing passengers to effortlessly transfer between busway services and the MRT-3. This upgrade promises to streamline commutes and reduce travel times for countless individuals.
