Several provincial bus routes at major terminals along EDSA in Cubao, Quezon City are now almost fully booked just two days before the observance of Undas 2025.

At the bus terminal along EDSA Northbound, most long-distance trips are already fully reserved. Passengers traveling to northern destinations such as Cagayan and Isabela can still book seats, according to Dos Por Dos report by RH Val Gonzales.

However, the bus company assured the public that additional trips will be dispatched to accommodate more passengers heading to far-flung provinces.

According to terminal staff, the company has prepared extra bus units to meet the expected surge of travelers going home for the long weekend.

Meanwhile, at the terminal in Brgy. Immaculate Concepcion, Cubao, seats are still available for trips bound for Baguio City and other northern destinations as of Thursday morning.

The company also said that more extra trips will be deployed to handle the anticipated increase in passenger volume later in the day and into Friday.

The bus company officials added that the company is well-prepared to cater to routes bound for Central Luzon, Pangasinan, and other areas across Northern Luzon.

Security and public assistance measures are also in place. Personnel from the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) have been deployed across several terminals, with police assistance desks set up to help ensure the safety of travelers.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is likewise assisting passengers, particularly those carrying heavy luggage.

As of Thursday morning, passenger traffic remains manageable.

According to the dispatcher from one of the bus companies, most of the commuters still have work today, but they expect the big rush to begin by late afternoon today and continue through Friday, October 31.

Transportation and security officials continue to remind passengers to arrive early at terminals, secure their belongings, and book tickets in advance as the annual Undas exodus reaches its peak.
