The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is fast-tracking the Davao Public Transport Modernization Project (Davao Bus System) after a two-year delay. During a recent interview, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon confirmed that 60% of the right-of-way (ROW) has been secured, with efforts underway to complete the remaining acquisitions this year.
DESPITE repeated delays, the Davao Public Transport Modernization Project , also known as the Davao Bus System Project, remains on track as the Department of Transportation pushes forward with completing the remaining right-of-way acquisition and targets pilot operations by 2027.
The scope of the project underpins its ambition: a 672-kilometre integrated bus network featuring five depots, three terminals, a driver training academy, 1,074 stops, and a fleet comprising 380 electric buses alongside 720 Euro-V diesel buses enhanced with intelligent transport systems and automated fare collection. Initial infrastructures, such as bus stops, are already being installed in Mintal, signaling a transition to physical implementation.
