On March 13, 2025, the SM North EDSA Busway concourse officially opened, providing a more efficient and convenient way for commuters to access the EDSA Busway directly from SM City North EDSA. Here’s what you need to know about this new infrastructure:
What is the SM North EDSA Busway Concourse?
This project is the result of a collaboration between SM Prime Holdings, the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the Quezon City local government.
Why is it Important?
The concourse was designed to enhance urban mobility and provide commuters with a safer and more efficient transit experience. By offering a sheltered and well-lit path, it helps passengers avoid traffic congestion and harsh weather conditions while improving accessibility for everyone, including persons with disabilities (PWDs), the elderly, and pregnant women.
What Features Does It Offer?
Direct Access Points: The concourse links key areas such as the mall, SM CyberWest, and the transport terminal.
Accessibility: Equipped with stairs, escalators, and elevators to cater to all passengers.
Navigation Support: A map is available to help passengers find their way, which is especially useful given the large layout of SM City North EDSA.
How Does It Benefit Commuters?
Saves Time: Reduces the need to cross busy streets and navigate through traffic.
Comfort and Safety: Provides a sheltered and well-lit pathway for a more secure commute.
Inclusive Design: Ensures accessibility for people with limited mobility.
How to Access the Concourse
From SM City North EDSA: Look for the signs leading to the concourse near the mall’s main entrance.
From SM CyberWest: Use the connecting pathways to reach the concourse.
From the SM North EDSA Public Transport Terminal: Walk towards the designated access points that link to the concourse.
The Bottom Line
The SM North EDSA Busway concourse is a game-changer for EDSA Busway users, making commuting faster, safer, and more convenient for everyone.
