MANILA, Philippines — The newly-inaugurated Buendia Station along the Edsa Busway will open to the public on Monday, November 22, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) has announced.
According to DOTr, the Buendia bus station was formally inaugurated on November 11 together with the opening of a new footbridge at the intersection of Edsa and Gil Puyat Avenue in Makati City.
“Inaasahang mas mapaluluwag nito ang pedestrian traffic at magiging mas ligtas at seamless ang pagsakay at pagbaba ng mga commuters na manggagaling at pupunta sa nasabing lungsod, lalo na at konektado ito sa pasilidad ng MRT-3,” the DOTr said in a Facebook post on Saturday.
(We expect that this will ease the pedestrian traffic and will pave the way for a safe and seamless commute to the said city, especially since it is connected to the MRT-3 facility.)
