Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon announced plan to replicate the EDSA Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System or EDSA Busway model along España Boulevard in Manila and Quezon Avenue in Quezon City.

“To me, the most viable and the most needed one is España to Quezon Avenue. That is very important. Busway [at] España, Quezon Avenue. That is going to be very viable…That’s wide enough for a busway,” Dizon said.

“We’re doing FS (feasibility study) now,” he said, adding that the completion of the study would be “hopefully next year,” He added

DOTr said there are currently no buses serving commuters, especially students, in the España-Quezon Avenue stretch.

Asked if the España-Quezon Avenue Busway will be operates by the private sector, Dizon said, “I think we have to do it government muna…then we’ll privatize the O&M (operations and maintenance).”

“It is not difficult to build. Kita mo naman [EDSA] Busway, pandemic lang ginawa nun,” he added.
