New bus routes to open Friday as public transport gradually resumes

Starting Friday, buses will ply the Monumento-Balagtas, EDSA-Montalban and NAIA Loop routes, the MMDA said in an advisory.On June 8, city buses will start ferrying passengers along the Monumento-VGC, and the Gilmore Taytay and Monumento-San Jose Del Monte routes, it said.

The number of units that will be deployed in the following routes is still being determined, it said. "This is part of our gradual and calibrated approach in the resumption of public transport operations in Metro Manila," the MMDA said. Transport authorities earlier said that the coronavirus lockdown gave authorities ample time to plan routes and traffic schemes to decongest EDSA.

Select public transportation units are allowed to operate at limited capacity after Metro Manila transitioned to a general community quarantine on June 1, ending almost 80 days of lockdown.
