The Solution
The 7 main lines
Seven corridors.
One network.
Each BRT main line occupies one dedicated median lane — physically separated from mixed traffic, operating 24 hours. Click any line to see its rationale and connected routes.
Route codes are read digit by digit — 17 is “one-seven” (feeds L1), 100 is “one-zero-zero” (L1 tertiary). The code always tells you where the route belongs.
Why these corridors
L1 Yellow
EDSA Line
Navotas Terminal → SM Mall of Asia
EDSA — extended to where it actually starts.
The Yellow Line passes through Malabon and Navotas before EDSA. Navotas Terminal is the shared terminus with L5 Green — the critical junction for commuters arriving from Cavite, Batangas, and Laguna via PITX. This is not a new idea. It is the idea that already works, done more completely.
L2 Red
Quezon Ave. Line
LTO Novaliches → Metropolitan Theater
From UP to España — no transfer needed.
Commonwealth and Quezon Avenue connect northern QC communities through the UP Campus and down to España, Manila. Students and workers get a direct, uninterrupted ride. Complements MRT 7 along Commonwealth and connects into LRT 1 at the south end.
L3 Orange
C5 Line
Libis Terminal → East Service Terminal
EDSA's alter ego on the east side.
C5 connects Libis, Pasig, BGC, and Taguig — three of Metro Manila's fastest-growing business districts — yet has no dedicated transit. The Orange Line gives the east side what EDSA gives the west.
L4 Brown
Osmeña Line
P. Quirino Ave. → SM Center Muntinlupa
Maximizing SLEX — south to the heart of Manila.
Osmeña Highway connects Manila City southward to the borders of Muntinlupa, maximizing the SLEX corridor. For commuters from the south, this line moves them into the heart of Manila without multiple transfers.
L5 Green
Roxas Blvd. Line
Navotas Terminal → PITX
Cavite to northern Manila — along the bay.
From PITX (gateway for Cavite, Batangas, Laguna) northward along Manila Bay to Navotas. Shared terminus with L1 Yellow. For bayside communities of Manila, Navotas, and Malabon, this is the primary link to the entire network.
L6 Blue
Aurora Blvd. Line
Cubao → Sumulong Highway
East to Cubao — connecting Marikina, Antipolo, and Rizal.
Moves people from Marikina, Antipolo, and Rizal province into Cubao — connecting into LRT 2 and MRT 3 at Araneta Center. Effectively makes Rizal part of the Metro Manila transit network.
L7 Violet
Ortigas Ave. Line
Gilmore → Taytay Rotonda Monument
Rizal to Pasig to Gilmore — the east's second path in.
Runs from Taytay Rotonda through Pasig City to Gilmore, QC. Intersects L3 Orange at C5/Ortigas and connects into L1 Yellow at Gilmore — one of the key cross-connectors in the entire network.
