Bus firms reduce Baguio trips by up to 50% - police

Bus companies plying the Baguio route have reduced trips by 30% to 50% amid rising oil prices in the country.

According to the Baguio City Public Information Office on Friday, Police Lieutenant Colonel James Allen Dogao, chief of the Baguio City Police Office – Traffic Enforcement Unit (BCPO-TEU), said that regular trips have increased their intervals to two hours or more per trip instead of the usual 30 minutes to one hour during the busiest travel months.

Dogao also observed a drop in the number of vehicles inside and outside the city. 

However, bus companies promised to resume their regular trips if there is an increase in tourists during the Holy Week break and dry season, he added. —Jiselle Anne Casucian/VBL, GMA Integrated News
