MANILA, Philippines — The construction of the three concourses of the EDSA Busway has started, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced in a statement issued on Tuesday. Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said the facilities, touted to be state-of-the-art transportation hubs, would change the way commuters travel and give Edsa a facelift. ADVERTISEMENTThe concourses will be built at SM North Edsa, Megamall, and Mall of Asia“I’m giving my heartfelt thanks because, at last, the public will see real change on EDSA through the EDSA Busway Concourse. The EDSA Busway was carried out at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2020 to provide seamless movement of high-capacity Public Utility Buses (PUBs),” the DOTr noted. Abalos noted that the concourses could significantly shorten travel time for commuters as the existing EDSA busway system had already ushered in a big contribution.
