A ramp at the Philam QC station of the EDSA Busway in Quezon City for persons with disabilities goes viral deemed as too steep for its intended users, specifically wheelchair-bound users, taken on July 18, 2024. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said it was imperfectly designed due to a height restriction imposed by the Metro Rail Transit and will assign personnel to assist PWDs who will have difficulty using the ramp.
