The DOTr says that it is working with the LTFRB to add at least 40 more P2P bus routes by the end of 2017.
The premise of Point-to-Point (P2P) buses is understandable: to offer an alternative transportation option that doesn’t clog EDSA – the very busy area outside and also known as one of the top 5 accident-prone roads and highways in Metro Manila. “Point-to-point” means motorists can only take and get off the buses from one exact point to another.
 
Aside from the prime bus features, the P2P service’s key selling point remains its value to consumers who want a cheaper but relatively fast commute. The government has taken series of steps to address issues related to dilapidated, reckless and inconsiderate transports.
