Arangkada is a slang Filipino word that closely means run or start. That doesn't explain well so let's do it again. Use the word arangkada when you mean a vehicle is about to accelerate.
The word can also become verb by using affixes. When watching a, let's say a new tv series and it says "Aarangkada na this month," it means it's about to start.
Let's say you're in a bus terminal and the bus is about to go just only few more passengers and it's ready to go on its route. The barker said "Just five more passengers and aarangkada na," which means "Just five more passengers and the bus is going to start and leave the terminal." And yes I did that on purpose a Taglish example to clearly deliver the word meaning specially for beginners.
And let's say the bus just left and a passenger arrived late looking for the bus. She asked around and someone said "Umarangkada na ang bus" - The bus already left.
