EDSA Bus Carousel: The Future of Urban Mobility

Revolutionizing urban mobility: The EDSA Bus Carousel delivers faster, safer, and more efficient travel across Metro Manila.

The EDSA Carousel also known as EDSA Busway is a bus rapid transit (BRT) system that connects to a number of bus routes in Metro Manila. It is located alongside EDSA and other roads, traveling on a designated lane, and is separated from regular traffic for the majority of its length by concrete barriers and steel bollards on the innermost lane. EDSA Busway is the most efficient, affordable, comfortable and safe bus service in Metro Manila, Philippines.

Due to the limited capacity constraints imposed by the general community quarantine in Metro Manila as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, interim operations started on June 1, 2020, replacing the prior bus routes along EDSA. Full operations then started on July 1, 2020. Certain stops are momentarily served by bus stops on the curbside even though they are primarily intended to be served by stops along the median.

Under the direction of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the line is run by the Mega Manila Consortium Corporation and ES Transport and Partners Consortium. (Source: https://edsacarousel.com/)
