The Department of Transportation is continuing with its efforts to improve public transportation in the city, specifically the EDSA Busway. At the turn of the year, it announced that three new stations will begin construction in 2026.
The new stations will be Cubao, Magallanes, and Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange. These will improve the Busway’s accessibility to commuters, as it will provide more points of entry and exit along the thoroughfare.
“Mag-start pa lang po ito [construction] nang 2026,” said DOTr undersecretary for road infrastructure Mark Steven Pastor. “Kaka-award lang po ito nitong December at matatapos po ito sa isang taon.”

The DOTr also confirmed that the EDSA Busway Kamuning Station will be inaugurated in the first quarter of this year. Said station will be equipped with ample elevators and escalators for persons with disabilities, 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,” added Pastor. “Accessible po ito at may elevators po dito.”
These are all part of the EDSA Busway Rehabilitation Project that was announced midway last year. Currently, there are 23 northbound stops and 24 southbound stops on the EDSA Busway, or what is also referred to as the EDSA Carousel.
