Wazzup Pilipinas!
The Department of Transportation (DOTr), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), and MetroExpress Connect, Inc. today launched two new routes of the Premium Point-to-Point Bus Service (P2P), namely: Route 1: Starmall Alabang-Vista Mall Daang Hari, Bacoor; and Route 2: Starmall Alabang-Dasmariñas.
The opening of the new P2P routes is expected to help reduce traffic congestion and encourage private car users to use public transport.
With an introductory fare of Php 50.00 (Php 40.00 for students, senior citizens and PWDs) for the Alabang-Bacoor route, and Php 70.00 (P56.00 for students, senior citizens and PWDs) for Alabang-Dasmariñas route, and vice versa, the new P2P routes will operate from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. with fixed schedule of trips that leaves every 15 minutes during peak hours and 30 minutes during off-peak hours regardless of passenger count. The buses will travel directly from terminal to drop-off point without frequent stops.
MetroExpress Connect’s premium buses use a cashless system with reloadable Prime Tap cards. The certified Euro 5 compliant air-conditioned Volvo buses are also equipped with free Wi-Fi, 4 flat screen TVs, onboard radio, CCTV, and GPS. They have four reclining seats per row with generous leg room and low floor entry with a retractable wheelchair ramp at the exit for persons with disabilities (PWDs).
In December last year, DOTr and RRCG Transport also opened P2P Alabang-Ortigas route, with pick-up point at Starmall Alabang and drop-off points at Robinson’s Galleria and Starmall EDSA from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Currently, the existing P2P routes are: 1. Trinoma to Glorietta 5 in Makati / Centris to Glorietta; 2. Robinsons Galleria to Park Square Makati; 3. Alabang Town Center to Greenbelt 1; 4. SM North EDSA to SM Megamall; 5. Fairview to Makati; Alabang to Ortigas; 6. Starmall Alabang-Vista Mall Daang Hari, Bacoor; and 7. Starmall Alabang-Dasmariñas.
