im from cebu and we've all been waiting for the day this would be realized. Cebu has an underdeveloped infrastructure - no trains, narrow roads, etc. Constructing this network would be really interesting.

yan ang tamang solution para sa pinas kesa mag import tayo ng trains (LRT/MRT).

pag rapid bus system ang gagamitin mas mura ang project cost at operating cost.

Un sa mga area na hindi covered ng bus ay mga jeep ang gamitin, pero ung concept na pedestrian overpass at loading/unloading sa center island ay gayahin.

mas maganda parin sana ang train yun lang mas mahal magpatayo ng MRT/LRT...kung my budget pa sana sila i-level up nila sa tramvas yun train on roads...or use electric bus yun my cable sa taas ng roads...

sa mga taga cebu jan kumusta naman yun project? sana dina nakalimutan...nasa PPP pala yan

Construction of Cebu's bus rapid transit project eyed in 4Q 2013

MANILA - The Department of Transportation and Communications on Wednesday said it expects construction of a bus rapid transit system in Cebu to start in the fourth quarter of 2013.

During the 38th Philippine Business Conference and Expo, Undersecretary Rene Limcaoco said the BRT system is a cheap light rail transit service.

The first of its kind in the Philippines, the BRT, one of the Aquino administration's Public-Private Partnership Project, is patterned after those in Bogota, Colombia; Curitiba, Brazil; Seoul, South Korea; and Guangzhou, China.

Limcaoco said the government is eyeing a loan from the World Bank to finance the project, construction of which would require $7-10 million per kilometer.

The Cebu BRT system will have 176 buses that will run through dedicated and exclusive bus-ways from Bulacao to Talamban, with a link to the South Road Property.

Limcaoco said the project would have 33 stations with a distance of 23 kilometers. The buses will also traverse Cebu City’s business district, residential areas, shopping centers and key tourist sites. The service will benefit 330,000 passengers a day when it starts operations in 2015.
