00:00Instead of leaving, Edsa Busway's service will be improved.

00:05The DOTR says passengers benefit greatly from the bus carousel

00:09because it has a lot of access points.

00:11Zef Bosonga of Radyo Pilipinas with the news for the country.

00:17The Edsa Busway is not a duplication of the Metro Rail Transit or MRT-3.

00:23That is what the Department of Transportation gave

00:27to remove the Edsa Bus Carousel

00:30so that the traffic in Metro Manila will be more spacious.

00:33In a statement of Radyo Pilipinas,

00:35Johnny Guismundo, Executive Assistant to the Office of the Secretary, said

00:40that Edsa Busway will greatly help

00:43because it has a lot of access points to MRT-3 and LRT Line 1.

00:48There are a lot of points where passengers can get off.

00:52Those who come from TIT Express can ride the MRT on Taft Avenue.

00:58But if their destination is near Calooc,

01:02and the MRT-3 is no longer available,

01:04they need to take the busway.

01:06And because the route of the busway is longer,

01:09a lot of people benefit from its service.

01:12In fact, 62 million passengers rode this bus in 2024,

01:18while in January alone,

01:205.5 million passengers boarded the bus.

01:24Guismundo explained that

01:26the traffic in Metro Manila will not be more spacious

01:29if the busway is removed

01:31because it will only go to the cars in the lane of the carousel.

01:35There is a lot of volume of cars in Edsa.

01:38That is not the solution.

01:41The solution of DOTR

01:45in traffic, not only in Edsa,

01:48is the mass transport projects that we are doing.

01:53DOTR insisted that instead of removing the busway,

01:57it would be better to improve the service of Edsa Busway

02:01through continuous coordination with the private sector

02:06and to meet the needs of Filipino passengers.

02:10From PBS Radio Pilipinas,
