More Bicol trips in PITX ahead of expected peak in passengers on Holy Wednesday
The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) anticipates a peak of 200,000 daily passengers this Holy Wednesday, with Holy Tuesday seeing 180,000 travelers.
Bus companies have added 20 additional trips and 40 to 50 special permits for buses, particularly for routes to the Bicol Region, which were the first to sell out.
While some trips are fully booked, travelers can still secure seats as chance passengers, though tickets for airconditioned buses and those with restrooms are quickly taken.
Some passengers, like Bernadette Rempillo traveling to Albay, have had to opt for non-airconditioned buses due to a lack of advance booking options.
PITX regularly conducts road safety seminars for operators and drivers to ensure discipline and prevent incidents.
