The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that beginning April this year, provincial buses are no longer allowed on EDSA. According to MMDA general manager, Jose Arturo Garcia, northbound and southbound provincial buses are banned from traversing EDSA along the Pasay City to Cubao stretch from 7 am to 10 am and from 6 pm to 9 pm during weekdays. As an incentive for the ban, provincial buses entering EDSA will be exempted from the number coding scheme. MMDA will start to restrict provincial buses traveling in EDSA in mid-July to prevent massive traffic that would occur due to the road projects currently in construction this month. Provincial buses will not be barred from traveling in EDSA completely as they will only be restricted on a specific weekly timeslot. Starting on July 15, 2018, Northbound and Southbound provincial buses cannot traverse Cubao to Pasay sections of the Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) from 5:00 am to 10:00 am and 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm on weekdays.
