MANILA, Philippines — Provincial buses will be allowed to use Edsa from Dec. 24 to Jan. 2, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced on Thursday.

“This is to allow the provincial buses to accommodate the expected influx of passengers going to the provinces for the holiday season and ensure the convenience and comfort of the commuters,” the MMDA said in an advisory.
