MAP urges DOTr, Congress to fund dedicated EDSA Busway stations in 2026 budget

The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) is urging the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Congress to allocate funds in the 2026 budget for dedicated stations for the EDSA Busway System.

MAP proposed new stations along Kamuning, Cubao/Araneta, Santolan, Camp Aguinaldo, Corinthian Gardens, Highway Hills, Estrella street (Rockwell), Ayala/EDSA, Magallanes, Malibay, F.B. Harrison, MOA/J. Diokno, Aseana/Macapagal and PITX.

The group highlighted that about 100,000 commuters are accessing the busway through already overcrowded Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) stations.

MAP also recommended finalizing a schematic busway system plan that will link Commonwealth Avenue and other major routes, in addition to ancillary facilities like overhead bridgeways and convenient access for physically challenged commuters.
