More than a decade since its conceptualization, the Cebu Bus Rapid transit system will finally break ground on Monday, Feb. 27. | Dale G. Israel/PDI

Phase one of the project was earlier awarded to China-based Hunan Road and Bridge Construction worth almost P1 billion.

The entire Cebu BRT project was estimated to cost 225.8 million US dollars committed by both the World Bank and the French Development Agency. The complete Cebu BRT system will stretch around 13 kilometers from the Cebu South Road Properties up to the Cebu IT Park.Meanwhile, Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia is asking the DOTr for “just compensation” as portions of the BRT system will be using properties owned by the Cebu provincial government.Garcia said the creation of 167-square meter bus stations will no longer be considered as a “road lot” of Osmeña Boulevard but as a vertical structure.
