The transportation woes of commuters from Toril and Catalunan Grande will likely be over before the month ends. The application for special permits for 20 units of public utility buses requested by the city government was approved by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board recently.
LTFRB chair Martin Delgra issued the order last Wednesday following a survey conducted by the Davao City Transportation and Traffic Management Office identifying Catalunan Grande and Toril routes as underserved. The Peak Hours Augmentation Bus Services (PHABS) would provide service to commuters during peak hours – from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
