This ticket is intended for monitoring of mapping/remapping of provincial bus routes following route revisions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of a new bus terminal scheme.
Context
There is ongoing mapping/remapping of the public transportation network in Metro Manila, which is being covered in #64, and in light of the indefinite suspension of provincial bus services throughout the Philippines since the COVID-19 pandemic and the Luzon-wide Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), there is a push to move all provincial buses into new central terminals, which has been planned since 2019 and earlier.
Early in 2019, @DP24PH have remapped numerous bus routes that used to end at EDSA into the three integrated terminals, namely the Valenzuela Gateway Complex (VGC), the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) and the Santa Rosa Integrated Transport Exchange (SRITT), but after discussions and on-the-ground observations, it is decided that the routes be remapped/reverted to their existing state per observation. Nonetheless, some operators have gone with moving operations into one of those terminals, especially PITX, which opened in November 2018, and routes with terminals not along EDSA, or on other officially designated terminals (e.g. Starmall Alabang, South Station, Araneta City Bus Port).
While not part of the 2019 plan, one new terminal has been announced: the North Luzon Express Terminal (NLET, inside Ciudad de Victoria at Bocaue), which has been used by buses on certain routes listed in LTFRB Board Resolution 123, series of 2020 two months since Luzon has been placed under General Community Quarantine (GCQ). On September 2020, under LTFRB Memorandum Circular 2020-051, a new terminal scheme in preparation for the "new normal" has been announced, amending the original 2019 plan (under LTFRB Memorandum Circular 2019-031).
As of late September, 11 modified and rationalized provincial commuter bus routes have been announced, with the start of operation on September 31, and more modified routes are being planned. Number of trips are also reduced due to terminal slot restrictions and limited passenger capacity (as requested by local government units/LGUs) and social distancing measures.
