00:00They have already fully booked their bus trip to Bicol and Baguio City,
00:11in their terminal in Cubao this evening.
00:14Let's take a look at the situation there in the first live news of James Aguilera.
00:18James.
00:23Ivan, good morning.
00:24Later this afternoon, until last night,
00:26passengers were able to get to the bus terminal here in Cubao, Quezon City.
00:30But just now,
00:31some of our fellow countrymen are heading here to the bus terminal to travel early
00:36so that they can avoid the heavy traffic.
00:39Some have already left their jobs.
00:41In one bus terminal,
00:42the air-conditioned buses to Dai and Camarines Norte are already fully booked.
00:46Paalbay and Camarines Sur are not yet full.
00:49Ordinary buses can also be used by passengers.
00:52In another bus terminal,
00:54the buses to Pangasinan are not yet full.
00:56But some of the buses to Baguio are already fully booked.
00:59There are extra buses that are not yet full.
01:02An extra bus terminal to Bulacan and Nueva Ecija is already full.
01:07They are expecting more passengers until later tonight.
01:11Meanwhile, Ivan,
01:12around the bus terminals here in Cubao,
01:15aside from the tight inspection of the bus terminals,
01:18the passengers' luggage,
01:20there is also a police assistance desk
01:22and there are policemen who can approach the passengers.
01:26That's all for now.
01:27From Cubao, back to Ivan.
01:29James, can you see that the provincial buses that are allowed to pass through EDSA
01:33are already carrying heavy traffic?
01:41Ivan, this morning,
01:42the provincial buses that we can see are not yet carrying heavy traffic
01:47here in EDSA.
01:48But earlier this morning,
01:49in front of the bus terminals,
01:51we saw some build-ups.
01:53The MMDA allowed from October 29 until 5 a.m. on November 4
01:58for the provincial buses to pass through EDSA,
02:02particularly those going to the North Luzon Expressway,
02:04so that our countrymen can travel faster.
02:08Ivan?
02:09Thank you very much, James Agustin.
