#p2p bus to bulacan to edsa

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) will soon launch a Point-to-Point (P2P) buses going from Malolos, Bulcan to EDSA-North Avenue route and Bocaue/Santa Maria to EDSA North Avenue route. 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. Operators warned that opening the lane, even partially could return EDSA to pre-Busway congestion levels, negatively affecting both commuters and operators. Commuters along EDSA now have free WiFi at 17 busway stations, thanks to a joint initiative by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr). The move aims to improve passenger experience and support the recently launched GCash e-payment system for the EDSA Busway. Commuters using the EDSA Busway can now pay their fares using GCash, as cashless payments have officially been rolled out across selected busway units. As of the initial rollout, 260 EDSA Busway units are already equipped with GCash SoundPay devices.
