Contrary to allegations, the route for the Bus Rapid Transit will not be shortened and realigned; instead, it will be extended up to Talisay City under the new proposal of the Department of Transportation. During the press conference called by the office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas last September 3, 2019 in Mabolo, Cebu City, the BRT routes will furthermore expand its coverage and improve as announced by the DOTr Undersecretary Mark de Leon. With this, the BRT route will now be at 39.88 kilometers instead of the original 23-kilometer route<\/strong> which will start Barangay Bulacao, Cebu City going to N. Bacalso Avenue, South Road Properties, Osme\u00f1a Boulevard, Escario Street, and Governor Cuence Avenue before heading to Talamban. De Leon emphasized that the original plan is not feasible knowing how congested N. Bacalso Avenue is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported, Phase\n1 of the BRT system will be partially operational before December 2021. This\nwill start at the Cebu South Bus terminal, traversing to Osme\u00f1a Boulevard to Capitol Site. Compared\nto the 20 bus stops, the revised BRT routes will already have 84 bus stops.\nPart of the first phase of this project would be the feeder services which\nwould run from IT Park to Talamban (5.68km), Talisay to Mambaling (7.55km), and\nTalisay to SRP (7.36km).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mark de Leon, the Department of Transportation\nwould like to adopt the \u201cMulti-basket solutions\u201d in the implementation of the\nIntermodal and Integrated Transport Project for Cebu \u2013 which includes the BRT,\nmonorail, cable car system, and passageways for bicycles and pedestrians. The\n16 billion budget for the BRT system has already been approved by the National\nEconomic and Development Authority. On the other hand, Cebuanos\nare assured the fare would be comparable and reasonable for the riding public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPAV Secretary Michael Dino asked Cebuanos for the support in the\nimplementation of these projects as it will only bring benefits to the people.\nThe Cebu City Council has also requested the DOTr through their technical support\nconsultant to work with the Cebu City Transportation Office on the traffic\nlight system in cooperation with the BRT system \u2013 an integral part in the\nsuccess of the BRT through a well-designed traffic operation system. Councilor\nNestor Archival, Sr. on his resolution shared that a supplemental budget of at\nleast P250 million has already been included for the digital traffic system of\nthe city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRT is set for construction in 2020 and is expected to be in\npartial operations in 2021. Are we ready for this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
