Clark Transport Hub

As the Clark International Airport slowly becomes an option to decongest air traffic in Metro Manila, it goes without saying that vehicular congestion in Angeles, Pampanga will slowly increase adding to the traffic that tourists who frequent the sites and attractions already bring.

In line with this, Clark Development Corporation (CDC) has already begun construction of a Php 34.4 million transport depot right behind SM City Clark in Angeles, Pampanga.

This will serve as a public transport facility for buses, jeeps and taxis while also serving as a passenger terminal. It will have 342 parking slots for jeeps and taxis, 18 slots for buses and kiosk-type spaces for commercial use.

The transport depot, which sits on 4,100 square meters of land, will connect directly to the soon to be finished Php 176 million Clark-Mabalacat-Angeles Road (CMAR) upon its completion before the end of the year.

CMAR is a six-kilometer, double lane road project that is expected to ease traffic in Angeles and Mabalacat.

"This project, along with other road improvements in Clark, would be vital in keeping order and traffic flow in and around Clark. A little inconvenience may be experienced by some during construction for which we apologize but the end result would be beneficial to the majority,” said Engineer Teresito Tiotuyco, CDC assistant vice president for Technical Services.
