A new breed of buses are being used by commuters in Central Business Districts (CBDs) and they’ve been enjoying it ever since. These Premium Point-to-Point buses made every commuter’s life easier and more comfortable since the day it was operational. Passengers loved the idea because there’s a fixed schedule, the bus was accompanied by hygienic seats, and the fact that it had single drop-off locations made it more interesting and better than the regular buses.

Although the extra fare is quite higher than the usual, it’s nothing compared to the peace of mind it gives its passengers and the feeling of safety and comfortability.
A lot of news scattering around the idea of P2P buses have been circulating the Internet. New and better routes added, more buses added, it’s literally taking over the regular buses we have grown accustomed to.
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) opened new twenty-eight (28) new routes which included some of the famous Luzon provinces like La Union and Baguio and Visayan cities like Iloilo and Cebu.
In addition to that, the LTFRB opened and awarded a total of sixteen (16) new franchise packages under their Memorandum Circular 2019-010.
The operators in these routes were not announced by the agency yet. However, expect to see these buses to be roaming on national roads and highways within the next few weeks.
