Mark Steven Pastor, DPWH Usec for Regional Operations in NCR, Regions III, IV-A, IV-B, V, VI, VII, and VIII Roberto Bernardo, Green EDSA Movement and Management Association of the Philippines Chairman Eduardo Yap, DOTr Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon, SM Prime Holdings President Jeffrey Lim, MMDA Chairman Romando Artes, and Move As One Coalition Co-Convenor, Dr. Robert Siy Jr.


Commuters in the north now have another convenient and safe transportation access point as the SM North EDSA Busway Concourse formally opens today (March 13).

The SM North EDSA busway concourse is located in front of SM North EDSA. 


Strategically located in front of SM North EDSA, this state-of-the-art busway concourse is a key interchange station along the Quezon City section of EDSA, conveniently connecting commuters to various transportation options and commercial establishments. It also aligns with the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) goal to provide a Comfortable, Accessible, Safe, Sustainable, and Affordable (CASSA) transportation system.

The new facility features well-lit and covered walkways, with ramps and elevators that ensure accessibility for all commuters, particularly senior citizens, pregnant women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

At a February 2025 press conference, newly appointed Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon hailed the SM North EDSA and SM Megamall concourses as “model stations” for its plan to construct dedicated bridgeways for the entire EDSA carousel system.

The EDSA Busway Project is a flagship initiative of the Department of Transportation (DOTr). It aims to enhance mass transit efficiency, safety, and accessibility along EDSA, Metro Manila’s main thoroughfare. 

To fast-track the development of well-structured and efficiently managed concourses, the DOTr partnered with private stakeholders like SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SMPHI). As part of the partnership, SM Prime committed to design, construct, and manage the busway concourses situated in front of its malls along EDSA.
