Metro Manila commuters now have a more convenient way to travel as the SM North EDSA Busway Concourse officially opens today, March 13.
Located in front of SM North EDSA, this modern transport hub serves as a key interchange station along EDSA’s Quezon City section. It provides seamless access to various transportation options and commercial establishments, aligning with the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) goal of a Comfortable, Accessible, Safe, Sustainable, and Affordable (CASSA) transport system.
Designed with commuter safety and convenience in mind, the concourse features well-lit and covered walkways, along with ramps and elevators to assist senior citizens, pregnant women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
At a press conference last February, newly appointed Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon praised the SM North EDSA and SM Megamall concourses as model stations, emphasizing their role in the government’s plan to construct dedicated bridgeways across the entire EDSA Carousel system.
The EDSA Busway Project, a flagship initiative of the DOTr, aims to enhance public transportation efficiency and safety along Metro Manila’s busiest highway. To accelerate its implementation, the DOTr partnered with private sector stakeholders, including SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SMPHI). Under this partnership, SM Prime is responsible for designing, building, and managing busway concourses in front of its malls along EDSA.
