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?
The concourse is a dedicated walkway that connects SM City North EDSA, SM CyberWest, and the SM North EDSA Public Transport Terminal to the EDSA Busway station.
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.
