[9] In 2011, the Araneta Center Bus Station was relocated to the old Rustan's building located on Times Square Avenue built in 1974, after the department store transferred to its new home at the newly opened Gateway Mall in 2005,[9][10] to make way for the construction of the Manhattan Heights, a 4-tower condominium development, as part of the Manhattan Gardens complex.

[9] The modern busport at Manhattan Heights was inaugurated as the Araneta Center Bus Port in March 2017 with Vice President Leni Robredo in attendance.

[11] In March 2020, the terminal was closed due the COVID-19 pandemic, and served as an RT-PCR COVID-19 saliva testing site, in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross, while transport services were temporarily moved to the old Araneta City Bus Station, which has 23 bays.

[12] The old bus terminal reopened in September 2020, and has limited its operations to Central Luzon, and has gradually expanded its services, while reviving previous routes within 2021 to 2022.

The day after the announcement, October 26, the Araneta City Bus Port reopened its operations, and services routes within areas around Metro Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tabuk, Laguna, and Batangas.
