LOS BAÑOS, Laguna (PIA) – A more convenient point-to-point bus from two major campuses of the University of the Philippines (UP) in Los Baños, Laguna to Diliman, Quezon City is now operational.
According to UPLB, this initiative was made to address the increasing demand for a direct bus service between the said campuses that has surged due to various purposes, including inter-campus coordination, research collaborations, and participation in university events.
In order to implement the dedicated bus route, UPLB administration has partnered with local bus company DLTB Co. to provide an efficient, safe and reliable transportation mainly for UP constituents and other members of adjacent communities.
“The organization of a direct commuter bus service connection is a testament to our commitment to ensuring the well-being of our community members, especially those who regularly travel between Los Baños and Diliman. We aim to provide a seamless, comfortable, and safer travel experience for everyone,” UPLB Vice Chancellor Roberto P. Cereno said.
The P2P buses run on weekdays and Saturdays with a regular fee of P165 based on the following departure time slots:
UPLB to UPD: 5 am, 1 pm, and 6 pm
UPD to UPLB: 5 am, 9 am, and 6 pm
Key departure points have been established at the Velasco Ave. loading and unloading bay near the UPLB main gate and at the Lakandula Extension cor. Jacinto St. in UPD. (CO/with reports from UPLB and photo from Kara Santos)
