The ramp for persons with disabilities at the EDSA Busway’s PhilAm station in Quezon City has been found too steep by wheelchair users. According to Jonathan Andal’s report on "24 Oras," the ramp was the means of access between the elevator and the footbridge.An architect who helped craft the implementing rules and regulations of Batas Pambansa No. 344 or the Accessibility Law said the PWD ramp was ten degrees steeper than the standard.

“Sa case nito, mukhang 'di nila kakayanin unassisted, especially 'yung mga gumagamit ng wheelchair. Kailangan may magtutulak sa kanila otherwise medyo delikado ‘to,” Eustaquio said. The Metro Manila Development Authority said there was a height restriction at the MRT which kept the elevator from being higher to more level with the footbridge.
