More than 200 city buses deployed for new PITX routes

MANILA, Philippines — More than 200 city buses were deployed for two newly-established routes for the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said Wednesday.

In a Viber message, the LTFRB Media Team said  97 buses were allowed to ply the PITX to Monumento route.

Meanwhile, 124 city buses have been made available for PITX passengers going to Gen. Mariano Alvarez, Cavite.

The LTFRB announced Tuesday that two more bus routes have been added to help commuters go to their workplaces while transportation modes are still limited under the less strict general community quarantine (GCQ).
