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. From a transport technology standpoint, the Busway operates like a full-scale Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. DOTr officials emphasized that while carpooling platforms are often promoted as smart mobility solutions, they function best on general road networks, not on dedicated transit corridors. However, Lopez stressed that any innovation must align with a commuter-first, mass-transit-oriented framework.
