Public utility vehicles soon to pass
CCLEX
By J.Lo
"Public transport commuters are deprived from using CCLEX as their alternative route since only private vehicle owners have been benefitting from CCLEX... council felt need to open new PUV routes in CCLEX as it will provide alternative routes to public commuters, ease traffic congestion and likewise help economy," resolution read as Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) aims to commence operation of public utility vehicles (PUVs) within this year, enabling convenient transportation between island and city sides of Cebu.
Documents showed that Office of Sangguniang Bayan in Cordova, Cebu, has asked Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to approve PUV routes for CCLEX.
In resolution, office said PUV routes at CCLEX should be opened to give commuters viable alternative for traveling between Mactan Island and Cebu City without going through usual traffic in toll-free bridges.
CCLEX Corp. (CCLEC) president and general manager Allan Alfon expects LTFRB to approve CCLEX routes within 2023. Afterward, CCLEC will sign joint venture contracts with bus and jeepney operators for use of bridge.
"If LTFRB approves it, then we can start preparing joint venture agreements with certain bus and jeepney operators," Alfon said in interview.
Metro Pacific Group also plans to deploy modern jeepneys in Cebu through Byahe, one of its subsidiaries in transport sector.
Under plan, Byahe will bring number of units to Cebu to ply PUV routes that will pass through CCLEX.
Byahe operates modern jeepneys in Metro Manila, Nueva Ecija, and Pampanga, with plans to invest over P1.5 billion to achieve its target of owning 530 units by 2027.
Last year LTFRB in Central Visayas proposed opening of three PUV routes that will bridge transportation gap between Cebu's island and city areas through CCLEX. In particular, agency wants to launch PUV services between Naga City and Mactan-Cebu International Airport; Lapu-Lapu City and Fuente Osmeña; and Cordova and SM Seaside City Cebu.
LTFRB is asking for 20 units for first route, 20 units for second route and 30 units for third route, as it hopes to open another transport option for commuters going around Cebu.
CCLEX, architectural pride of Metro Pacific Group, is cable-stayed bridge linking Mactan Island and Cebu City.
