Greetings Hivers 😊 Madayaw!
Finally, I was able to experience this high-end free ride bus in downtown area. The authorized personnel inside told us that me and my mom were the first public riders in this newly arrived bus.
Mother-daughter bonding time inside the bus, we felt lucky that we were the first ever riders of this awesome bus. While it was turning right on the street we noticed that it stopped and so we immediately went closer to it so we can ask if we can have a ride and it was our lucky day as they allowed us to onboard.
There are rules to follow before you can get inside, they will check your bag to make sure the safety and security of the passengers. They will not allow food with strong smell such as fight bought at the public market or durian fruit. No smoking and vaping inside.
It is very new and I like the ambiance inside it, it feels like in a first world country or overseas. I am grateful for the initiative of the local government. It is so clean and the personnels told us that they want to maintain its cleanliness so passengers need to follow the rules.
The personnel said that there are 1000 of these buses around the city but on scheduled basis 5am-10am and 4pm-9pm to give way for public transportation drivers whose source of income is driving a passenger jeep on a daily basis.
It is so comfortable inside and convenient. We look forward to avail more free rides in different areas of the city.
Photos are mine.
