The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), in close coordination with theDepartment of Transportation (DOTr), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), the Land Transportation Office (LTO), and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), is fully prepared for the anticipated surge in passengers during the Holy Week exodus.
With an estimated 3.18 million travelers expected to pass through PITX from April 5 to April 23, 2025, government agencies are implementing comprehensive measures to ensure efficiency, security, and passenger convenience throughout the peak travel period.
PITX anticipates a steady rise in foot traffic leading up to Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, which are traditionally the busiest travel days as commuters head to their respective provinces. A significant return surge is also expected from April 21 to April 23 as people resume work and school. To manage the influx, DOTr, LTFRB, LTO, and MMDA are working together to enhance public transportation services, enforce stricter safety measures, and maintain smooth traffic flow in and around the terminal.
As part of this multi-agency effort:
- LTFRB is deploying additional public utility buses and monitoring transport availability to accommodate the increased passenger demand.
- MMDA is implementing traffic management strategies around PITX to prevent congestion and ensure orderly passenger movement.
- LTO is conducting random inspections of buses and driver screenings to uphold road safety standards.
- DOTr is overseeing the overall transport operations, ensuring that all stakeholders coordinate effectively in handling the anticipated volume of commuters.
Security within PITX will also be reinforced withincreased police visibility, baggage inspections, and safety monitoring to safeguard passengers. Commuters are encouraged toplan their trips in advance, follow travel advisories, and remain vigilant of their belongings for a hassle-free journey.
“Ensuring a seamless travel experience for passengers remains our top priority. With the expected influx of commuters, PITX is working closely with our partner agencies to guarantee efficient transport services, enhanced safety measures, and well-coordinated crowd management. We urge the public to plan their trips ahead and cooperate with authorities for a smooth and safe journey this Holy Week,” said Jason Salvador, Corporate Affairs and Government Relations Director of PITX.
