DESPITE the City Government of Davao being prepared to launch the Davao Bus Project —formerly known as the High Priority Bus Lane —the national government has yet to release the necessary funds.Tristan Dwight Domingo, assistant city administrator and project manager, during the Davao City Disaster Radio on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, said that while the national government is preparing next year’s budget, unresolved funding issues from the previous year remain.
The timing of these funds’ release to the local government unit remains uncertain, contributing to the project’s delay.He noted that the LGU is prepared to move forward with the project, but additional hires are complicated due to the lack of immediate tasks. Although the project team has 30 employees, experts recommend increasing this number to around 120. The city plans to hire additional staff as soon as funding is confirmed.
