History
editThe Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in May 2024, have reportedly looked into the lot of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) near the Quezon Memorial Circle for a possible site of an integrated transport hub.[1]
The Department of Transportation (DOTr), the GSIS, the MMDA and the Quezon City government met on October 15, 2024, to discuss their commitment on building an intermodal rail-city bus terminal and depot in Quezon City.[2] This is a response to a presidential[clarification needed] directive to construct one with the GSIS committing its lot near the Quezon Memorial Circle.[3]
The DOTr along with the World Bank will plan, finance and build the transport hub. The MMDA will conduct feasibility studies on traffic management and basic engineering design.[4]
It is projected to be complete by 2027.[5]
Location
editProject HUB will be built at a lot at the corner of the intersection linking Elliptical Road and Commonwealth Avenue[3] The intermodal hub is said to rival the scale of the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) in Parañaque.[4] It is projected to also connect commuters using the yet to be opened Quezon Memorial Circle and University Avenue stations of MRT Line 7[5]
