“The primodial purpose of instituting a mass transport system in any city — Manila, Cebu, or anywhere else in the world — is toin going from home to their workplace, school or other places where they must be and coming back,” he said.But even with the BRT’s implementation, Del Mar said there is still room for the other mass transport systems being proposed in Cebu by the Department of Transportation .Cebu needs all the infrastructures it can get.

Lastly, he asked the committee to make an appeal for DOTr to implement his proposal to build a Light Rail Transit or the Metro Rail Transit in Cebu. “That is a reduction in the total dedicated BRT length by almost 50 percent, from 23 kilometers to 13 kilometers,” Del Mar said.
