Provincial buses allowed on EDSA during Holy Week

THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will temporarily allow provincial buses to use EDSA during Holy Week as part of traffic measures for the expected surge of passengers leaving Metro Manila. The agency said the arrangement will run from 9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 1, until 6 a.m. on Monday, April 6. Buses coming from North Luzon may pass through EDSA up to their terminals in Cubao, Quezon City. Buses from South Luzon will only be allowed up to the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITx) and Pasay City. The MMDA said the temporary setup was intended to help buses complete trips more efficiently during the Holy Week exodus. The agency has already suspended the number coding scheme and assigned personnel in key roads and transport hubs in the metropolis to manage the higher traffic volume.
