Traffic congestion in the\u00a0city has already reached a point where it seems inevitable, difficult to be addressed properly, and\u00a0may not have a permanent fix. Reducing it may be the government&#8217;s only option.<\/p>\n<p>With the government\u2019s efforts to ease the traffic congestion problem, a new transport terminal was introduced through the <strong>Taguig Integrated Terminal Exchange (ITX)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>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\u2019s commuting experience but also serve as a way to at least decongest traffic along EDSA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>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,\u00a0 Visayas, and Mindanao.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/961008\/news-taguig-integrated-terminal-exchange-itx-edsa-provincial-buses-transportation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philippine Daily Inquirer<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.abs-cbn.com\/business\/01\/17\/18\/govt-breaks-ground-on-taguig-transport-hub-seen-to-ease-traffic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABS-CBN News<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/business.mb.com.ph\/2018\/01\/17\/govt-ali-break-ground-on-p9-b-transport-terminal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manila Bulletin<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><em>Image Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/961008\/news-taguig-integrated-terminal-exchange-itx-edsa-provincial-buses-transportation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philippine Daily Inquirer<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pna.gov.ph\/articles\/1021952\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philippine News Agency<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/pia.gov.ph\/news\/articles\/1004179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philippine Information Agency\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upon the completion of the ITX, it will not only improve the public\u2019s commuting experience but also serve as a way to at least decongest traffic along EDSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24986,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[5001,5003,519,5002],"class_list":["post-24985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-current-events","tag-fti-compound","tag-itx","tag-taguig","tag-taguig-integrated-terminal-exchange"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2018\/01\/Taguig-ITX-620x465-e1516332036513.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24985"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24985\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65349,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24985\/revisions\/65349"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
