DAVAO CITY – In anticipation of the upcoming surge in holiday travelers, the Davao City Overland Transport Terminal (DCOTT) is urging passengers to utilize online booking for bus tickets to avoid lengthy queues and reduce waiting times.
According to DCOTT manager Aisa Usop, a recent study conducted by DCOTT in collaboration with various bus companies operating in the terminal has led to the promotion of online ticket booking. Usop explained that the study revealed online reservations alleviate congestion at the terminal, resulting in an enhanced experience for passengers.
"Some bus operators have already made their seats available for reservation on their platforms or through third-party service providers. While online ticket purchases may involve additional fees and may not cover all routes and destinations, it offers a practical solution," she noted.
Usop particularly encouraged families with children or elderly passengers undertaking long journeys to consider pre-booking their seats with bus companies. Pre-booked passengers will enjoy a separate queue, distinct from those purchasing tickets at the terminal, ensuring a more convenient travel experience.
Several major bus companies at DCOTT, including Rural Transit, Bachelor Express, Mindanao Star, Metro Shuttle Bus, Philtranco, ACF Bus Line, and the Yellow Bus Line, currently provide online seat reservations for specific routes.
Usop assured that more routes from other bus lines will soon be available for online booking, and passengers can also make seat reservations by contacting bus companies directly. (PNA)
