Love Bus eyed back on PH roads before end of 2025

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) on Tuesday expressed hope that the return of the Love Bus could be a nationwide program before the year ends. 

In a social media post, DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon said the implementation of this transport program would be studied in the coming weeks. The agency also released photos, showing the design of the Love Bus.

''Agad-agaran nating gagawin yung gusto ng Pangulo para sa mga kababayan nating commuter. Pag-aaralan natin ito (love bus) sa mga susunod na linggo. Hopefully bago matapos ang taon ay sinisimulan na natin as a nationwide program," Dizon said.

(We will immediately abide by what the President wants for our commuters. We will study this in the coming weeks. Hopefully, before the year ends, we're already starting this as a nationwide program.)

During his fourth State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. said the iconic Love Bus would make a comeback, which will be free for commuters.

The Love Bus was introduced in several Metro Manila routes in the 1970s and were the only air-conditioned bus during that time. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
