Abude said the buses would continue to ply the routes for as long as there are still stranded passengers on the streets.
If the buses would be needed on Wednesday, he said the city government will continue to offer passengers with free bus rides.
“We will depend on the weather. If this weather continues until tomorrow (Wednesday), we will, of course, continue to offer free bus rides. We want to prevent our passengers from getting stranded,” he said.
The buses were stationed at the City Hall but the vehicles may pick up passengers along the way, he said.[]
He said free “lugaw” (porridge) was also offered to stranded passengers at the City Hall to keep them warm while waiting for the buses.[]
