The Araneta City Bus Port (ACBP), also styled Araneta City Busport, is a bus station in Quezon City, Metro Manila, the Philippines. It is currently one of two bus terminals in the Araneta City business district that link Metro Manila with the provinces in the north and south of the country, including cities in the Visayas and Mindanao via the Philippine Nautical Highway System.[2][3] The station is also a hub for buses servicing the Bicol Region.[4] It was built in 2017 as the modern alternative to, and eventual replacement for, the adjacent Araneta City Bus Terminal, the oldest integrated bus terminal in Metro Manila, in operation since 1993.[5] The busport is used by at least 19 provincial bus lines, including DLTBCo, Ceres Transport and Philtranco.[2][6] It is connected to Manila's Line 2 and Line 3 by a network of elevated walkways and mall connections.

Location

General Romulo Avenue alongside Ali Mall

The Araneta City Bus Port is located along General Romulo Avenue on the eastern side of Araneta City within the barangay of Socorro, Quezon City. It occupies the ground level of Manhattan Heights, a four-tower residential condominium complex that is part of the 5.7-hectare (14-acre), 18-tower highrise community developed by Megaworld Corporation called Manhattan Garden City.[7] The bus station is situated in the district of Cubao, a densely populated area north of Ortigas Center in east-central Metro Manila that has the highest density of bus terminals in the entire Manila metropolitan area.[8] It is directly across from Ali Mall and one block from the old Araneta bus station on Times Square Avenue.

History

The old Araneta bus terminal on Times Square Avenue

The Araneta busport sits on the original location of Metro Manila's first integrated terminal which opened in 1993.[9] In 2011, to make way for the construction of the Manhattan Heights condominium complex, the Araneta Center bus station was relocated to the old Rustan's building located on Times Square Avenue built in 1974, after the department store transferred to its new home at the then newly opened Gateway Mall.[9][10] The old terminal is expected to be torn down in the future to make way for the construction of the Manhattan Plaza, the final highrise development of the Manhattan Garden City project.[9]

The modern busport at Manhattan Heights was inaugurated as the Araneta Center Bus Port in March 2017 with Vice President Leni Robredo in attendance.[3] Following the issuance of the Metro Manila Council regulation prohibiting the operation of all provincial bus terminals along EDSA in order to ease traffic congestion in Manila's main artery, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority announced in May 2019 that the Araneta bus terminal shall be exempt from the ban.[11]
