Metro Manila/Bus routes
This page covers mapping of city bus routes through Manila, which include the main routes (which may run into nearby provinces), as well as local and express services outside the main network. All routes are operated by companies under franchise from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), an agency tied with the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
Mapping recommendations
Stops
Map stops where there are signs, markings or sheds. It's also possible to map stops as requested by passengers, but such cases can be better handled by adding a "hail_and_ride" role to the road section in question.
public_transport=stop_position is best recommended on designated stops (i.e those with signs, markings, shed/shelter), usually at 400-500 m intervals. It's also possible to map the loading/unloading area with public_transport=platform and highway=bus_stop on the location of the sign or shed, which simplifies workflow and is compatible with the proposed simplified PTv2.
Routes
Routes, route master relations, and the main network relation must be tagged with network=PUB. As route operators can change due to franchise revocation/change or there are too many operators to list, this is recommended over using operator names on the network tag.
Specific naming schemes, unless route has unique name (e.g. BGC Bus routes, QCityBus), are:
- Trunk routes (Routes 1-53): City Bus [number]: [starting point] → [endpoint] (e.g. City Bus 2: Angono → Quiapo). Main exception is for EDSA Carousel.
- P2P and all other routes with ref: [operator] [City Bus/P2P] [ref]: [starting point] → [endpoint] (e.g. MetroExpress P2P TM: Vista Mall Taguig → Trasierra)
- P2P and all other routes without ref: [operator] [City Bus/P2P]: [starting point] → [endpoint] (e.g. ALPS P2P: Batangas City → Ortigas Center)
The ref=* tag should contain the route number/code or, for P2P routes if there is no known route code, the bus service brand and P2P.
