LUCENA CITY - Another 14 brand new white mini buses will fleet in Lucena City as part of the public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program of the Department of Transportation and Communication (DoTR).
The route for the new buses will be at Bayan-Gulang-gulang in Lucena.
The turned over of new buses was led by Lucban Genesis Transport Service and Multipurpose Cooperative (LGTSMPC) that will transport visitors and residents in safety, comfort and convenience.
In May, the Isuzu Philippines Corp. (IPC) turned over 15 units of Class 2 modernized PUV to officers and members of the LGTSMPC.
The turnover was witnessed by officials of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Lucban OIC Mayor Armando Abutal, Land Transportation Office District Officer Wilma de Castro, Office of Transportation Cooperatives Executive Director Eugene Pabualan and executives of IPC led by its Sales Division Head Joseph Bautista and Isuzu Pagbilao general manager Marcel Tolentino.
The turnover of PUV to LGTSMPC represents the start of an eventual total of 88 modernized PUV plying the 60-km route between Lucban-to-Tayabas town in Quezon, as well as the Mauban-to-Lucena City route.
LGTSMPC, one of the province’s largest transport cooperatives, ordered the brand-new PUV units from Isuzu for the first time, and expressed confidence the vehicles will provide years of reliable, safe, convenient, and comfortable transportation.
Bautista explained the Isuzu PUV is roomier, safer and more convenient to ride in.
“Our modernized PUV using the QKR 77 truck platform with body designed and built by Almazora can accommodate up to 23 passengers. Commuters can now travel comfortably with enough legroom, headroom and seat space in this Class 2 vehicle,” he said.
“The vehicle is also equipped with features required by the PUVMP vehicle guidelines. There’s the automatic fare collection system. There are three CCTV cameras installed in the vehicle and LED destination displays,” Bautista added.
