Baguio City plans new transport terminal project bidding

Baguio City is reviewing plans for a new intermodal transport terminal, similar to the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX). The project, estimated at P1.190 billion, will undergo competitive bidding after the City Council's review. The terminal, proposed by Megawide Constructions Corp., aims to accommodate 300 to 400 provincial buses daily. It will feature passenger lounges and parking for various vehicles, located near the Palispis-Aspiras Highway. Some councilors have expressed concerns about the proposed 40-year lease and potential impacts on local bus passengers. The terminal's development could generate significant revenue for Baguio, but objections have been raised regarding transportation access for commuters.
