The first three operational routes were Monumento-Balagtas, Bulacan; EDSA-Montalban, Rizal; and the NAIA Loop.
Four additional routes opened on Monday, June 8: Monumento to Valenzuela Gateway Complex (Route 3), Monumento to San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan (Route 21), Gilmore to Taytay (Route 11), and Buendia to BGC (Route 13).
