Double decker articulated bus tapos point to point lang siya. Imagine kung meron mga ganitong bus na hindi na hihinto kung saan-saan, malaking ginhawa din ang maidadagdag nito sa mga commuters. Yung terminal sa coastal mall binabatikos nung una pero ngayon mas pabor na sa mga commuters dahil hindi na nila kailangan makipaghabulan sa kalsada or mambalya ng mga babae makapasok lang sa dumadating na bus.
P.S. Isa pang advantage nito is less fuel ang magagamit per travel.

Gov?t slams brakes on articulated bus plan | Inquirer Business
The government’s plan to implement an articulated bus service on Edsa to decongest the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) is facing a possible snag as a long-time private sector proponent of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System in the country alleged a potential intellectual property rights violation.
The articulated bus dry run, carried out on Edsa and partly being implemented by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, was declared a success with the government eyeing private operators to start the service by the time school opens in June this year.
The plan, however, is being opposed by the Philtrak Group of businessman and inventor Francis Yuseco Jr., the patent and copyright holder of the BRT system, according to May 8 letter from Yuseco’s legal counsel, the Saguisag Law Firm. The Inquirer has obtained a copy of the letter.
The document, addressed to LTFRB chair Winston Ginez, noted that the trial run conducted on May 7 for an articulated bus to travel along dedicated priority lanes with fixed loading and unloading stations “appears to approximate the operations of an exclusive track-based transit system.”
“It behooves us to let you know, that such move shall infringe upon the intellectual property rights of Inventor Francis R. Yuseco Jr. under Republic Act No. 8293, including the severe criminal and civil liabilities imposed to violations thereof,” a portion of the letter read.

So basically the lawyer is saying that the BRT lane is "owned" by Yuseco?

I mentioned this on another thread before. We should do the following:
1. We should remove all subsidies on the MRT and let people pay full fare, even if it would cost 50 pesos, end to end. This would lessen the usage of the MRT to people who would need to go to their destination faster.
2. Cancel all bus franchises plying EDSA.
3. All buses in EDSA should ply only EDSA, from MOA to Monumento vice versa. No buses going to other destination should pass on EDSA. Bus stops should be 500 meters apart. As I had noticed, a lot of people are waiting for specific buses at the bus stops but unfortunately either they arrive a the bus stop full already or the frequency is not that many during rush hours. With this scheme, all people can get a move on, irregardless where their destination is, no more cherry picking of buses. Hubs in key points of EDSA will allows passengers to travel to the next leg of their journey. Buses for that leg should be frequent since they have a shorter route to run.
4. Change all the buses from the current model to those being used by Green Frog or articulated buses. Low flooring, big doors for easy ingress and egress. Minimal seating. Sana na lang nga ganito:
5. You could also make express buses plying only the major stops.Last edited by Mguy; May 13th, 2014 at 08:53 PM.
