Pasay City, Philippines [March 25, 2026] – SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SM Prime) is working with government agencies on transport infrastructure projects aimed at easing daily commuting across the Greater Manila Area by leveraging the prime locations of its malls.

“Urban mobility is central to national development. By working with government, we are able to improve access points that affect commuters every day,” said Jeffrey C. Lim, SM Prime president. “This partnership started during the pandemic, when improving public transport access became a priority. The facilities are now largely in place,” said Lim.

SM Prime is investing more than P300 million to build a direct pedestrian link between the LRT-2 Antipolo Station and SM City Masinag in Antipolo, Rizal. The covered connection will provide weather-protected access between the station and the mall, reducing transfer times and removing the need for street-level crossings.

The project will include ramps, elevators, lighting and closed-circuit television systems to improve accessibility and commuter safety. Construction is set to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and is expected to be operational six months later under a public-private partnership with the Light Rail Transit Authority.

The SM North EDSA Busway Concourse opened to the public in March 2025, featuring covered walkways, elevators, escalators and direct access to the busway station to improve passenger flow.

SM Prime is replicating the concourse model at SM Megamall, with construction underway and the northbound section expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026.

Alongside physical infrastructure, SM Prime has also partnered with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to provide commuters with access to real-time traffic information.

Live traffic feeds from the MMDA’s AI Traffic Management System are available on select mall digital directories, allowing commuters to monitor road conditions and plan routes more efficiently.
