GSIS, DOTr, MMDA to build new transport hub in QC

The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Department of Transportation (DOTr), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the Quezon City local government are collaborating to build a new intermodal transport hub, codenamed Project HUB, on a 3-hectare GSIS property at the corner of Elliptical Road and Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.

This new facility is designed to rival the size of the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) and is expected to house multiple public transport units serving various routes.

The project aims to bring the PITX concept to the northern part of Metro Manila and is intended to complement the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7).

The MMDA will conduct feasibility studies and basic engineering design, while the DOTr will assist in planning and management.

The Quezon City government will expedite the necessary permits for the project.

The World Bank is providing funding for the project, which is anticipated to be completed and opened to the public by 2027.

The transport hub will be located near two MRT-7 stations, Quezon Memorial Circle and University Avenue, which are scheduled to open in 2025.
