The Department of Transportation (DOTr) on Wednesday opened an additional bus stop at the EDSA busway for the EDSA bus carousel in Tramo, Pasay City.&nbsp;
In a report from RH Christian Ma&ntilde;o, the new bus stop is among the four new bus stops planned for the EDSA carousel.&nbsp;
Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, who led the ribbon cutting ceremony, said the bus stops aim to make commuting more convenient and comfortable for the public.&nbsp;
More bus stops will be set up between North and Quezon Avenues as well as Ormoc Road in Quezon City, and Magallanes in Makati City, he added.&nbsp;
EDSA carousel services some 320,000 to 390,000 passengers daily.&nbsp;<iframe width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

The government's Libreng Sakay or free ride program will end on December 31, 2022 as it was not included in the proposed national budget for 2023.&nbsp;
However, Bautista assured that that the fare for EDSA Bus Carousels would be affordable.&nbsp;
