If you’ve ever wanted to travel the entire stretch of EDSA without getting trapped in endless traffic, the EDSA Carousel might be your best bet. Running from Monumento in Caloocan to PITX in Parañaque, this bus route offers a smoother and faster way to explore Metro Manila. The EDSA Carousel makes it easy to get from one hub to another—without the usual chaos of the road.

The EDSA Carousel stops at major city centers and connects with key train lines like MRT-3 and LRT-1. It operates 24/7, so even night owls and early birds can rely on it to get around. While buses come frequently during the day, expect a slower pace between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. The air-conditioned buses keep rides cool and comfortable, but it’s smart to bring a jacket if you get cold easily. With around 250,000 passengers using it daily, it can get crowded during rush hour—but it’s still one of the quickest ways to cross the metro.

Reaching the stations usually means crossing a footbridge or concourse, since most stops are located at EDSA’s central point. Select stations like Monumento, SM North EDSA, Guadalupe, and One Ayala have elevators or escalators for easier access. Once at the platform, line up by direction, wait for the bus, and pay the conductor once you’re seated. Fares start at ₱15 and go up based on distance, with discounts for students, seniors, and PWDs. An end-to-end trip from Monumento to PITX costs ₱74.50.
