The EDSA Bus Lane, intended for the exclusive use of authorized public utility buses to ensure faster and more efficient commuting for the majority of passengers, has been a subject of ongoing discussions regarding safety and enforcement.
While the lane aims to streamline public transportation, incidents involving pedestrians highlight the potential risks when individuals attempt to cross this dedicated pathway.
Pedestrian safety along EDSA, one of Metro Manila's most congested arteries, remains a significant concern.
The sheer volume of vehicular traffic and the limited pedestrian crossing areas often create hazardous situations.
The dedicated bus lane, while improving bus travel times, adds another layer of complexity for pedestrians attempting to navigate the thoroughfare.
