#bus rapid transit system

San Miguel Corporation has revealed its plan to put up a bus rapid transit (BRT) system on Skyway Stage 3. Ang[/caption] SMC president and COO Ramon Ang mentioned that the target bus system will initially operate between Susana Heights and Balintawak. Moreover, he said that the bus-based transit system aims to maximize the benefits to the public and make commutes more convenient. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has rejected proposals to allow carpooling vehicles coordinated through ride-sharing and mobility apps on the EDSA Busway, citing concerns that opening the dedicated lane to private vehicles would degrade the performance of Metro Manila’s primary mass transit corridor. Transportation Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Lopez said the EDSA Busway was designed as a high-capacity people-moving system, not a shared roadway for private vehicles even those carrying multiple passengers. From a transport technology standpoint, the Busway operates like a full-scale Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. These include AI-assisted traffic management, automated bus dispatching, real-time performance monitoring, and deeper integration with contactless fare systems and commuter data platforms.
