PITX expects 2.3M passengers for Easter holiday travel

The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) is preparing for an expected surge of 2.3 million passengers from April 9 to April 23 for the Easter holiday, a slight decrease from the initially projected 2.5 million.

The peak travel days are anticipated to be Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, with a significant return surge expected from April 21 to April 23.

PITX began its preparations early, coinciding with Araw ng Kagitingan on April 9, which saw an increase in commuters compared to the previous year.

Many trips at the PITX were already fully booked as early as Monday, with the bulk of travelers expected from Holy Monday to Maundy Thursday, April 14 to 17, 2025.

PITX has coordinated with bus operators to ensure sufficient bus availability, with the LTFRB deploying additional public utility buses.

The terminal is also working with the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), the Land Transportation Office (LTO), and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

The MMDA will be managing traffic around the PITX to avoid congestion, and the PNP will deploy personnel to heighten security.
