Due to the expected surge of passengers returning to the provinces for Undas, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said it would temporarily allow provincial buses to use Edsa starting at 10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30.
Provincial buses may use Edsa until 5 a.m. on November 3.
The MMDA said that the move was in response to a request from the United Association of Provincial Bus Operators in the Philippines, Inc., a decision approved by MMDA Chairman Don Artes.
‘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 MMDA said in an advisory on Wednesday evening.
According to MMDA, provincial buses from North Luzon may stop at terminals in Cubao, Quezon City, while buses from South Luzon may travel only up to the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange and Pasay.
