CEBU CITY, Philippines -- On the eve of Cebu City’s general community quarantine (GCQ), Van (not his real name) contemplated walking from Barangay Guadalupe to a mall in North Reclamation Area

“I waited for hours on the road, since 5:50 a.m., for a ride. I started walking from Guadalupe Church to Escario Street after waiting for more than one hour in Barangay Guadalupe,” Van told CDN Digital in Cebuano. But apparently, Van was not the only Cebuano who was left stranded in the streets for several hours. He added that some of his co-workers were also unable to report to work and that there were others he knew had to depart from Cebu province.
Montealto said limited public transportation would be expected in areas that recently downgraded its quarantine status. The LTFRB-7 top official also said that their agency had been continually monitoring the behavior of Cebu’s public transportation, workers, and residents. In the meantime, he said he would be studying the routes released by the Cebu City government and LTFRB-7 to plot out his commute options in case things will not turn out to what he hoped for.
