00:00Let's go back to the situation in some bus terminals in Quezon City.
00:04Santa's week is coming.
00:06Live from Cubao, we have the first news from James Agustin.
00:09James?
00:14Susan, good morning.
00:15In our tour of some bus terminals here in Cubao,
00:18there are a lot of trips that are fully booked for next week.
00:22They are expecting more passengers
00:24so the bus companies applied for a special permit in Yalta FRB
00:28so that they can add more passengers.
00:33After more than 10 years,
00:35Nani, a senior citizen, will return to Daetka Marinas Norte
00:39with her son Benjun.
00:42They are really eager to go to the bus terminal.
00:45So that there won't be a lot of people on the last week.
00:50It's hard to ride.
00:52Who are you going to visit?
00:54My cousins.
00:58It's hard to go to the last week because there are a lot of people.
01:02It's crowded.
01:03If it's too hot, we might die.
01:06Mary Grace and her 11-year-old son, Joymy, also have the same problem.
01:11They are going home to Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte.
01:14It's hard when there are a lot of passengers.
01:16It's crowded.
01:18So we decided to travel.
01:22Tomorrow, my son's moving up.
01:25At this bus terminal,
01:26air-conditioned buses from April 11 to 17
01:30are fully booked to go to Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur and Albay.
01:34They applied for a special permit in Yalta FRB
01:37so that they can add more passengers to the routes mentioned.
01:40We expect that on Friday, April 11,
01:46there will be a lot of passengers.
01:50Will there be a lot of passengers?
01:52There will be a lot, sir.
01:53In fact, from April 11 to April 17.
01:59The bus company assured that passengers can ride
02:02even if there is no ticket reservation.
02:05That's only for non-air-conditioned buses.
02:08There are a lot of ordinary buses, sir.
02:11That's for passengers without a reservation
02:15or what we call chance passengers.
02:18At this bus terminal,
02:19passengers are expected to arrive on Tuesday and Wednesday.
02:23They will also add buses to Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.
02:27For now, there are passengers going home for Easter.
02:31Like Jowel, who traveled to Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija.
02:34It's hard. It's crowded. It's crowded.
02:37It's not spacious anymore.
02:40We added a special permit.
02:43And usually, traffic is the only problem.
02:47Especially on the left,
02:49it's easy for the bus to go around.
02:56Meanwhile, Susan,
02:57when will the bus terminals be full of passengers,
03:00especially those who will travel to faraway places?
03:03Like Bicolay, for example,
03:04if they can,
03:05don't bring large items
03:08because it can delay the trip
03:11and the departure of the bus from the terminal here in Cubao.
03:14That's the first news.
03:15From Quezon City,
03:16I'm James Agustin for JMA Integrated News.
