1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
On 21 February 2012, the President issued Executive Order No. 67 (“EO 67”) entitled:
“Providing for the Establishment of the Integrated Transport System (ITS)”, which is an
integrated and multimodal transport and logistics system (“ITS Project”).
Page 6 of 25
Project Information Memorandum
- Regulating the terminal fees that may be charged for the use of the transport
terminals and other facilities established under the ITS Project;
- Issuing the implementing rules and regulations, procedures, guidelines and
priority actions necessary to carry out the provisions of EO 67;
- Performing other functions as may be necessary to implement EO 67 and as may
be directed by the President.
On 16 July 2013, the President issued Administrative Order No. 40 (“AO 40”) entitled:
“Providing for the Establishment of the Interim Transport Terminals in preparation of the
Integrated Transport System under EO NO. 67 (s. 2012)”. Section 6 of the AO states that the
operation of interim transport terminal shall be ceased within sixty (60) days from the date
that DOTC has determined that the permanent ITS terminals are fully operational.
The ITS Project aims to maximize road usage by reducing vehicle volume and improving
traffic flow along Metro Manila’s major thoroughfares, particularly Epifanio de los Santos
Avenue (“EDSA”). The ITS Project aims to provide for the establishment of integrated
transport terminals to provide effective interconnections between different transport
modes and services thereby ensuring efficient and seamless travel for the commuting
public.
The ITS Project envisages the establishment of three (3) mass transportation intermodal
terminals at the outskirts of Metro Manila – one (1) in the north (of EDSA) serving
passengers to and from northern Luzon, one (1) in the south serving passengers to and from
the Laguna/Batangas side, and one (1) in the southwest serving passengers to and from the
Cavite side. The terminals will connect passengers from the province to other urban
transport systems such as the Philippine National Railway (“PNR”), city buses, taxis, and
other Public Utility Vehicles (“PUVs”) serving inner Metro Manila. The terminals will include
passenger terminal buildings, emergency maintenance areas (i.e. for minor repairs of buses
and other vehicles), arrival and departure bays, ticketing facilities, park-ride facilities, and
transfer facilities such as shuttles to provide seamless transport connections.
The DOTC invites bidders to submit Bids to finance, design, construct, operate and maintain
the South ITS Project (or the ”Project”).

Project Information Memorandum
In Metro Manila, the rapid growth in population and, as a consequence, motorization, have
caused many urban transportation and environmental problems. The resulting urban
pattern is one where an increasing number of people live at the fringes of the metropolitan
area but still need to travel to the city centers to work or study.
The urban transport sector in Metro Manila comprises primarily of an urban road network
and public transport system. EDSA is Metro Manila’s main thoroughfare stretching around
24 kilometers and connecting the north and south of the metropolis. Its average annual
daily traffic (“AADT”) is over 156,000 vehicles. Table 2.2 presents the past data on the
number of franchises and authorized units of road based public transportation in Metro
Manila.

Location of the The Project site is located in the southern part of Metro Manila
Project Site and it lies near the South Luzon Expressway (“SLEX”) which
connects Metro Manila to the province of Laguna.
Access The site is presently accessible from the east service road of SLEX.
There are plans to link the site to the Skyway.
The following plan illustrates the structure of the Project site and also shows the
