Public transportation is one of the key things of a country in determining their overall efficiency and effectivity. In the Philippines, we can have the conclusion that public transport is all over; from tricycles, jeepneys, to trains, buses, even vans, they’ll surely be able to accommodate what the citizens need.
However, just recently, a lot of people have been complaining about the difficulty of catching these public utility vehicles. More so, a majority of commuters now patronize ride-hailing applications such as Grab Car or Grab Taxi and Angkas.

This is why bus companies somehow innovated in improving their services. Many commuters do not consider riding buses because of what they witness every time it’s the rush hour. Good news because the Premium Point-to-Point (P2P) bus service improved their services by adding necessary routes to the current one they have.
The P2P bus service by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) just unearthed twenty-eight (28) new routes that will be able to accommodate more and more commuters every day.
In LTFRB’s Memorandum Circular 2019-00, the new routes of the P2P bus service will be honored and given to a total of sixteen (16) franchises. What this means is that more P2P bus services will be seen roaming around highways and national roads.
What does this mean?
Although this can mean more traffic to commuters and drivers along highways, it can mean comfort to the people who need buses in their daily commutes. Especially people coming from the eastern side of the country; people from Central Business Districts (CBDs), and people coming from the north, this service will be extremely helpful.
