Busway operators told: Follow dwell time policies
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is reminding bus operators and drivers to adhere to the 45-second dwell time at EDSA Busway stations, with 90% of station timers now functional and enforcers deployed to ensure compliance.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon stated that enforcers are present at both northbound and southbound stations to monitor compliance and prevent delays caused by buses staying too long.
The DOTr is also working to repair the remaining non-functional timers to fully optimize the efficiency of the EDSA Busway.
Additionally, the agency is prioritizing accessibility for persons with disabilities, having fixed a steep ramp at Philam Station and currently repairing its elevator.
