The Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced on Tuesday, December 30, that three more EDSA Busway stations will begin construction in 2026: in Cubao, Magallanes, and the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX).

“Magkakaroon po tayo ng tatlong bagong istasyon sa EDSA Busway. Ito po ay sa Cubao, sa Magallanes, at ganun din sa PITX dahil gusto natin paigtingin at pabilisin ang time and motion natin dito sa EDSA pag buma-biyahe tayo ng pampublikong transportasyon,”said Transportation Undersecretary for Road Infrastructure Mark Steven Pastor.

“Magstart pa lang po ito [construction] ng 2026. Kaka-award lang po ito nitong December at matatapos po ito sa isang taon,” he added.

He also noted that the Kamuning Station will be inaugurated in the first quarter of 2026. The station is equipped with elevators and escalators to accommodate persons with disabilities (PWDs), senior citizens, and pregnant women.

“Meron din tayong ongoing construction dito sa Kamuning area para mai-ayos po natin para magkaroon ng footbridge na bago—nakahiwalay sa MRT-3. Accessibile po ito at may elevators po dito,” Pastor said.

The busway expansion is in line with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to improve the busway’s time and motion, and to encourage Filipinos to use public transport.
