Bus franchises in the region are regulated by the [[Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (Philippines)|Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board]]. The [[Premium Point-to-Point Bus Service]] is the express bus system that runs from its dispatch terminal in Fairview up to the central business districts along [[EDSA]]. It aims to cut travel time substantially and provide a faster, safer and more convenient bus service to commuters, who are usually caught at the heavy traffic across the metropolis.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 23, 2015 |title=Express buses get underway on EDSA |url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/457517/news/metromanila/express-buses-get-underway-on-edsa |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150614191716/http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/457517/news/metromanila/express-buses-get-underway-on-edsa |archive-date=June 14, 2015 |access-date=May 22, 2015 |publisher=GMA News Online}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=March 20, 2015 |title=Gov't to launch express bus system in Metro Manila |url=http://www.bworldonline.com/content.php?section=Nation&title=govt-to-launch-express-bus-system-in-metro-manila&id=104760 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180705130637/http://www.bworldonline.com/content.php?section=Nation&title=govt-to-launch-express-bus-system-in-metro-manila&id=104760 |archive-date=July 5, 2018 |access-date=May 22, 2015 |publisher=BusinessWorld Online}}</ref> A second express bus link from SM North EDSA, [[Trinoma]] and SM Megamall to Makati opened in December 2015, and by January 2016 was the line on which, for the first time in nearly three decades, a [[double-decker bus]] traveled on EDSA, to the delight of motorists, followed by a third link, this time from [[Robinsons Galleria]] to the [[Ayala Center]] complex in February 2016 and a fourth in March linking the Ayala Center to the Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa via the Metro Manila Skyway (and later to Ayala Malls South Park). As of the present express buses also link the Market Market mall and Circuit Makati to both the Nuvali residential township and the Pacita Village complex in San Pedro, both in Laguna, in services launched in 2014 and 2017, respectively (plus additional services to the UP Town Mall in Quezon City and SM Masinag in Antipolo, Rizal), while intercity express buses have been in operation since 2015 to alleviate traffic on EDSA. In 2018, additional services from the Makati CBD and from San Lorenzo Place up to Cavite debuted.

Metro Manila has a [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT) system, particularly the [[EDSA Carousel]]. Another BRT system will traverse for {{convert|27.7|km|mi|sp=us}} from [[Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City|Commonwealth Avenue]] up to the [[Manila City Hall]]. The planned BRT system costs ₱4.9&nbsp;billion ($109.5&nbsp;million) and will have a fleet of 300 buses and 32 stations.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 24, 2015 |title=DOTC eyeing bus rapid transit to ease traffic in Metro Manila |url=http://news.pia.gov.ph/article/view/231424688215/dotc-eyeing-bus-rapid-transit-to-ease-traffic-in-metro-manila |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402105112/http://news.pia.gov.ph/article/view/231424688215/dotc-eyeing-bus-rapid-transit-to-ease-traffic-in-metro-manila |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |access-date=March 23, 2015 |website=Philippine Information Agency}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=February 22, 2015 |title=DOTC: Metro Manila to have its first bus rapid transit operational by 2018 |url=http://www.interaksyon.com/business/105567/dotc-metro-manila-to-have-its-first-bus-rapid-transit-operational-by-2018 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150329073417/http://www.interaksyon.com/business/105567/dotc-metro-manila-to-have-its-first-bus-rapid-transit-operational-by-2018 |archive-date=March 29, 2015 |access-date=March 23, 2015 |publisher=[[News5|Interaksyon]]}}</ref>
