  • The EDSA Carousel bus service will continue with operations during Holy Week.
    In this video, you can get an idea of what it's like to ride on the EDSA Busway.
    Later in the video, you can see the ongoing construction of new footbridges, which bypass the MRT stations, as well as a new station, which is set to include an elevator - for PWDs, senior citizens and others with mobility difficulties.

    I love riding the bus especially in the Philippines. Less stress.

    If only the entire bus system in metro manila is like this.

      A lot of people have been hoping for something like this on Commonwealth.
      Maybe they're hesitant to do it, because of the MRT-7.
      But I still hope we could see something like this on Commonwealth in the future.

      or maybe a QC circle to Morayta (or even Taft) line via Quezon Ave. and Espana since there's no LRT/MRT yet

      Unfortunately there's a lot of cars and motorcycles in the bus lane again :(
      And some parts of the busway were even opened up to private vehicles. Hopefully that wouldn't be a continuing trend.

    The walk up to and from Guadalupe's bus station is terrible. It's farfetched but we need at-grade crossings to make this even better ( and more accessible) , no wonder people choose to jaywalk.

      I'm excited with the busway concourse project of SM.
      Based on what they've said, it's going to be pretty amazing. And that does include Megamall.

    The problem is the way to the bus they need to fix that

    • @GadgetAddict
      @GadgetAddict  3 місяці тому

      You mean interconnectivity between the bus and other forms of public, for the "last mile" ?
      That's one of the big focuses for the coming years - not just for the busway, but interconnectivity in general.
      There's a long way to go, but I'm hopeful.

    This is how it should be for mass commuters. The ease of travel is badly needed as it requires extra 3-4 hours of just to travel to and from work.

    Why are the barricades not consistent? If barricades are placed then the opportunity for cars and motorcycles is not there.

    • @GadgetAddict
      @GadgetAddict  3 місяці тому +1

      There are openings for emergency vehicles to get in and out of the bus lane.
      And there are no barriers on flyovers and tunnels, for safety reasons.
