The Department of Transportation (DOTr) Road Sector, with the assistance of Metropolitan Manila Development Authority ( @TAG), installed bus timers in thirteen EDSA Busway stations and opened for use on August 21 September 2022.
These are at the following stations:
1 MCU Monument
2 New Barrio
3 Balintawak

5 North MRT Station
6 Quezon Avenue MRT Station
7 Q-Mart
8 Main Avenue
9 Ortigas MRT
10 Guadalupe MRT

Each bus timer has three (3) aspects signal lantern with two-digit timer, pole, and lighting. It also has a traffic signal local controller with a detector card and loop detectors.
There is a 30-second maximum time for each bus unit to board and drop off passengers at the said stations. It will automatically reset when the next bus arrives. Bus timers can still be calibrated and maximum time amended based on the recommendations of InterAgency Council for Traffic - IACT (ACT) and MMDA.
Installation of bus timers aims to facilitate and improve the boarding and dropping of passengers on EDSA Busway.
