During the dry run, provincial buses will be banned from traversing along the stretch of EDSA from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. No penalties will be imposed against violators of the ban.Provincial buses coming from the north may use the Valenzuela Gateway Complex Terminal to load and unload their passengers. Provincial buses coming from the south may use the Sta. Rosa Integrated Terminal in Laguna while those with terminals in Pasay City may use the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange.
The MMDA shall implement “window hours” from 10 pm to 4 am for affected provincial buses. During the window hour period, provincial buses are allowed to traverse EDSA to get to common terminals such as Araneta Center Bus Port in Cubao, Quezon City and BFCT East Terminal in Marikina City and PITX.
