MANILA -- The number of passengers heading to the Araneta City Bus Station in Quezon City every holiday season have dwindled in recent years since most of the long-distance bus routes were transferred to the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange. 

Ramon Legaspi, manager of the Araneta City Bus Station, said on Sunday that the Araneta City Bus Station is not as crowded as it used to be due to limited bus routes. 

“Sa ngayon limited lang ang ating ruta,” said Legaspi on Teleradyo Serbisyo. “Sa ngayon ang naiiwan na lang ngayon ay Batangas na lang, may shuttle going to airport. Binabago na kasi ang ruta natin: Lucena, Batangas, Pangasinan, Tarlac, ‘yun lang ang ating mga ruta ngayon.” 

He said bus routes covering Bicol-Visayas were transferred to PITX.

Legaspi said they are welcome to cater those heading to Southern Luzon especially those coming from Rizal. 

“Sa mga ibang pasaherong nahihirapan sa ibang terminal ay (pwedeng) tumuloy po sila sa ating Araneta City Bus Terminal. 'Yung pa-Batangas, Lucena, Pangasinan,” he said. 

“Sa mga ating mananakay na pauwi ng Batangas, Lipa, San Juan, Batangas Pier, Palaguna, Calamba, Pangsasinan via Dau, meron tayong shuttle dito. Dito po sila at maluwag tayo… Maluwag po ang ating passenger lounge.” 

“Kung mapahintulutang maibalik ng mga biyaheng Bicol-Bisaya ay mabubuhay muli ang ating bus port at maraming umaasa dahil sentro tayo sa Quezon City particularly ‘yung sa manggagaling Rizal.”
