Under the scheme, buses marked A will stop at: - Southbound: Ermin Garcia, Arayat Cubao, VV Soliven, Connecticut, Shaw Starmall, Guadalupe, Buendia Ave., Mantrade - Northbound: Ermin Garcia, Cubao Farmers, Boni Serrano, SM Megamall, Shaw Blvd., Guadalupe, Buendia Ave., Magallanes Buses marked B will stop at: - Southbound: Kamuning, Monte de Piedad, Main Ave., POEA Ortigas, Pioneer/Boni, Estrella, Ayala Ave. - Northbound: Baliwag/5Star, Main Ave., Ortigas Ave., SM Megamall, Pioneer/Boni, Estrella, Ayala Ave. The MMDA also said that there will be a yellow lane, starting Tuesday, along the corners of EDSA Ortigas, Santolan and Timog-Kamuning for buses that do not have a stop below the fly-overs. Earlier, the MMDA said Bus Lane A will be painted red and Bus Lane B will be painted blue. — DVM, GMA News
