(SPOT.ph) The daily grind for commuters just got a little easier with the launch of two new stations—Philam and Kamuning—on the EDSA Carousel. This brings the total number of pick-up and drop-off points to 23 stops all running along the main thoroughfare.

The Philam station features an LED digital clock, while the Kamuning station has a newly constructed footbridge for easier transfer to the MRT-3 GMA-Kamuning Station.
