This list of bus routes in Metro Manila includes all commercially operated local bus routes in the National Capital Region and surrounding areas, as well as the contracted express bus service operated under the Premium Point-to-Point Bus Service branding. Bus services in Metro Manila are regulated by the Department of Transportation in partnership with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and operated by private bus operators, individually licensed by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board. As of August 2020, of the more than 300 public transport routes available in Metro Manila, 64 routes are being serviced by public utility buses in the metropolitan region.

All Metro Manila's local or city bus services are contracted out to private firms.[1] Prior to the 2020 Philippine coronavirus lockdowns, the region had more than 900 public transport routes operated by 830 bus franchises and more than 43,000 jeepney franchises competing with each other.[2] This extremely deregulated public transport environment has made managing public transport services a challenge for the government for many years. The oversupply of public utility vehicles as well as redundant and overlapping transport routes have also led to severe road congestion.[2]
In June 2020, the Department of Transportation launched the Metro Manila Bus Rationalization Program in a complete overhaul of Manila's bus transport network. The program was a follow through of the 2017 Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program and coincided with the government's gradual and calibrated resumption of Manila's public transport following more than two months under coronavirus restrictions.[3][4]
On July 1, the EDSA Carousel line (Route E) started its interim operations with a total of fifteen stops in dedicated bus lanes completed by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.[5] On August 17, 2020, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board added four more city bus routes.[6]
Due to the further easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the LTFRB noted that the rationalized bus routes were "not responsive to the existing demand of passengers". Furthermore, in anticipation of increased passenger volume due to the return of full onsite classes and onsite work, the LTFRB announced through LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 67 series of 2022 on August 19, 2022, the reopening of many pre-pandemic route franchises for public buses, jeepneys, and the UV Express.[7] Based on this, the 39 existing bus routes under the rationalized bus routes program were modified to include 32 pre-pandemic bus routes and retain rationalized bus routes that "were found to be responsive to passenger demand".[8] On September 29, 2022, an additional 20 bus route franchises were also approved through LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 74 series of 2022.[9] On December 15, 2022, modifications were made to seven of the existing routes through LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 82 series of 2022,[10] while six new routes were opened through LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 83 series of 2022. Both changes were made effective on December 26, 2022.[11] In June 2023, the LTFRB announced new bus routes to serve Philippine National Railways passengers once the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway commences.[12] In August 2023, modification of some pre-pandemic routes were made through LTFRB Board Resolution No. 55 series of 2023,[13] and LTFRB Board Resolution No. 57 series of 2023.[14]
As of November 2024, there are a total of 68 local bus routes in Metro Manila franchised out to private bus operators.[15]

PNR augmentation service
In 2023, following the closure of PNR Metro Commuter Line services in Metro Manila to make way for the construction of the North–South Commuter Railway, the LTFRB and Philippine National Railways has introduced three augmentation routes serving the affected stations, two of which are bus routes. These two bus routes have not been assigned a bus number and are only referred to as Route 1 and Route 2.[18]

Express service
Launched in March 2015, the Premium Point-to-Point (P2P) Bus Service, formerly known as Express Connect, is an express bus service connecting the suburbs to the central business districts and the international gateways. It initially operated between Quezon City and Makati, with a third route to SM Mall of Asia in Pasay.[19] A third P2P service was introduced in April 2016 connecting Greenbelt in Makati and Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa operated by RRCG Transport.[20]

BGC Bus
BGC Bus, a subsidiary of the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC) under Ayala Corporation, operates bus routes plying Bonifacio Global City, as well as the Makati Central Business District.
Love Bus
In August 2025, the Marcos administration announced that it would revive the Love Bus, a premium bus service previously operated by the state-owned Metropolitan Manila Transit Corporation (MMTC). The revived service aims to offer free rides in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao.[21]
Since September 2025, two routes have been launched in Metro Manila, which mainly connect the Valenzuela Gateway Complex to the cities of Manila, Pasay, and Quezon City. Both routes in Metro Manila are each served by a fleet of five 20-seater electric minibuses operated by the Department of Transportation and Global Electric Transportation (GET) Philippines.[22] The two routes are free of charge throughout September. From October onwards, the service will remain free for senior citizens and persons with disabilities at all times and for other passengers during peak hours from 6:00 am to 9:00 am and 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.[23]

Quezon City Bus Service
In 2021, under the Quezon City Bus Augmentation Program, the Quezon City government began operating eight city-wide bus routes with the approval of the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board. The service is also referred to as City Bus and the QCity Bus Service.[24] On June 24, 2022, Quezon City mayor Joy Belmonte announced that the city's bus services will continue to be offered for free amidst the return of onsite work and classes and high fuel prices.[25] On April 28, 2023, the bus service was made permanent through Quezon City Ordinance No. SP-3184, series of 2023, or the "Q City Bus Ordinance", placing the program under the Quezon City Traffic and Transport Management Department.[26]
As of May 2023, over 12 million passengers have been served by the city's bus services.[27]
In June 2024, the Quezon City Government announced faster waiting intervals and expanded operating hours for its eight routes.[28] In October 2024, eight electric low-floor buses were procured by the Quezon City government. Each bus has a seating capacity of 41 seats, wheelchair ramps, and onboard closed-circuit television cameras.[29]
