Package 5. When will the service be available?
It says here, routes just opened and were not even sure how many applicants there is per package.
That P2P bus plying Alabang and Molino is more like a normal PUB, it stops everywhere as long as somebody flags it. Not really P2P. It is not really that convinient specifically during rush hour as driver jampacked the bus with passengers along the way. Their multimedia sets play campagin ads of the villars. Arrives and departs late. I remember one passenger lecturing the driver and conductor because the bus was 13 minutes late. The only difference, is you get to pay more with the same level of service offered by PUBs, jeepneys, multicabs, vans and colorums.
