At least 28 new routes have been opened by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) for more than 200 point-to-point (P2P) buses to ferry more commuters as Metro Manila and nearby provinces enter the second week of a more relaxed lockdown.

The DOTr and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said in a statement that a total of 268 buses will be deployed to serve commuters in the National Capital Region , as well as in Imus, Bacoor, Dasmariñas, and Noveleta in Cavite; Sta. Rosa and Calamba in Laguna; Cainta and Antipolo in Rizal; Malolos, Balagtas, Pandi, Sta. Maria, and Plaridel in Bulacan; and to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Sangley Airport in Cavite.

As the transition into the “new normal” continues in the transportation sector, the DOTr reminded operators and drivers to strictly observe preventive measures such as the mandatory wearing of face masks and gloves, and the thorough and regular disinfecting of the buses and bus terminals. The LTFRB said that it will continue to add and open new bus routes to accommodate the large volume of commuters expected during the transition to the new normal.
