Taguig ITX to be completed by the second half of 2018
Hundreds of thousands of cars, buses, and other public utility vehicles (PUVs) traverse the busy streets of Manila on any given day. Traffic congestion in the city has already reached a point where it seems inevitable, difficult to be addressed properly, and may not have a permanent fix. Reducing it may be the government’s only option.
With the government’s efforts to ease the traffic congestion problem, a new transport terminal was introduced through the Taguig Integrated Terminal Exchange (ITX).
Rush-hour traffic can cripple downtown areas where distances can sometimes require spending a lot of time in a vehicle, especially during rush hour. Upon the completion of the ITX, it will not only improve the public’s commuting experience but also serve as a way to at least decongest traffic along EDSA.
ITX is and will be one of the major projects under the Ayala Corporation which is set to stand in a six-story building within the FTI compound in Taguig City where its construction will begin on the second half of the year 2018.
Upon its completion, it will have its own centralized ticketing area, similar to that of the MRT and LRT stations; a number of businesses, retail, and food establishments; and accommodation of a great number of passengers at hand. Aside from that, the ITX will also host provincial buses going to and from South Luzon, Bicol, Visayas, and Mindanao.
