The Department of Transportation will launch today a new point-to-point (P2P) bus route covering Fairview to Makati City.

The inaugural run for the new P2P service covers Robinson’s Novaliches and the Makati central business district or Ayala Park Square.

DOT said buses for the new P2P service will be air-conditioned and with free WI-Fi connectivity.

The units also have a maximum of four seats per row and is also designed to accommodate even persons with disability.

DOT explained that through the P2P project, which is intended to modernize the public utility bus system, the government wants to provide individuals a convenient, reliable and safe transportation option.

Passengers of P2P buses can expect shorter travel time as the vehicles depart on a fixed schedule and travel directly from the terminal to the drop-off point.

The DOT had already launched P2P bus routes from Ortigas to Makati, North EDSA to Ortigas and North EDSA to Makati.

Other routes being looked into are Alabang to Ortigas, Fairview to Ortigas, Fairview to Cubao, Alabang to Bonifacio Global City, and Alabang to Cubao.
