The DOTr-SAICT has implemented measures to ensure safe and convenient travel along the EDSA Busway and other terminals during Holy Week 2025, deploying 24/7 enforcers in stations, integrated terminal exchanges, and major highways until April 23.
These efforts are part of DOTr's Oplan Biyahe Ayos: Semana Santa 2025, anticipating a significant increase in passenger volume.
DOTr-SAICT intensified operations to decongest commuter areas, enforce traffic laws, combat colorum operators, and ensure public utility vehicle roadworthiness.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon highlighted that these preparations aim to ease commuter struggles and allow passengers more time with loved ones during their travels.
Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC) is also rolling out its "Biyaheng Arangkada Semana Santa" motorist assistance program from April 16 to 21 to complement these efforts.
