DOTr studying busway for España-Quezon Ave. route

The Department of Transportation is studying a possible busway for the España Boulevard to Quezon Avenue route similar to the EDSA model.

In a Saksi report on Tuesday, DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon acknowledged there is a lack of buses, particularly for students, in the approximately 8-kilometer stretch from Manila to Quezon City and vice versa. 

He said the DOTr is conducting a feasibility study that is expected to be completed in 2026.

Dizon expressed confidence that up to three operational stations of the Metro Manila Subway Project will be operational by the end of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. 's term.

Three of the five major right-of-way issues have been resolved while the remaining two are under discussion.

DOTr has also accepted three proposals for the planned Integrated Terminal Exchange for Northern Metro Manila which is expected to be finished in 2028. —RF, GMA Integrated News
