The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) has implemented its “Oplan Biyaheng Ayos” in preparation for a significant increase in passenger traffic expected from May 5 to 13.
This surge is anticipated due to the upcoming May 12 National Elections and Mother’s Day celebration on May 11, with an estimated 1.2 million passengers traveling to their home provinces to vote and spend time with family over the long weekend.
To ensure safety and efficiency, PITX is working in close coordination with the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Land Transportation Office (LTO), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Security has been heightened across the terminal, with round-the-clock deployment of law enforcement personnel, K9 units, and roving guards to safeguard passengers. Assistance desks will be available throughout the terminal to guide passengers.
PITX has a real-time monitoring of arrivals and departures to manage congestion and ensure smooth dispatching of buses and other public utility vehicles. Ground crew and customer service teams will be on hand to assist passengers and maintain orderly foot traffic in high-density areas.
While Mother’s Day adds a sentimental touch to this weekend’s travel, PITX remains focused on delivering a safe, clean, and commuter-friendly environment for all. The terminal continues to offer essential amenities such as accessible restrooms, comfortable waiting areas, and dedicated gates for provincial and city-bound buses.
“This weekend is a convergence of two important events—our national elections and the celebration of mothers. PITX stands ready to support both by making sure passengers can travel home safely and comfortably.” Jason Salvador, Corporate Affairs and Government Relations Director of PITX said.
PITX reminds all passengers to allot extra travel time, remain alert, and stay updated through PITX’s official social media channels for real-time advisories and announcements.
