It involves 13.18 kilometers of segregated lanes with 17 stations, one depot, and one trunk terminal from South Road Properties in Cebu City’s south district to the IT Park in the north of the city. DOTr Sec. Jaime Bautista, in his speech during the groundbreaking ceremony at the Fuente Osmeña Rotunda, on Monday, said the project aims to: reduce travel time, increase economic productivity through the efficient mobility of goods and services, reduce air emissions through a reduction in average energy consumption, and lastly, provide equitable access, convenient, comfortable, safe, and secure public transport.

The private contractor of the P900 million project aims to have the CBRT Phase One partially operational by December 2023 and fully operational by the second quarter of 2025.
