Metro Manila’s traffic congestion has undoubtedly become a major concern affecting commuters and motorists alike.
In the face of the pressing need for better transport solutions, the Philippine government has looked to the private sector to help address this concern. An answer arising out of this public-private sector collaboration is Ayala Malls’ Easy Ride project, built around three key principles—connectivity, mobility, and sustainability.
This project dovetails with our sustainability initiatives of pedestrian mobility and transport connectivity, which have given rise to features in our malls such as bike racks, footbridges, and covered walkways that enhance pedestrian comfort and reduce carbon emissions from motorized vehicles.
Various Ayala Malls have likewise served as transport hubs and key stops of the Department of Transportation’s Point-to-Point (P2P) bus program. We have adopted this program to achieve a more convenient transport option and help ease traffic in Metro Manila.
As of 2018, we have a provided total of 20 P2P routes and 13 P2P terminals located in our malls and estates, improving the commuting experience and transit connectivity for an average of 14,593 commuters daily.
