President Marcos, in his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) yesterday, announced the revival of the blue buses emblazoned with large red hearts as part of his administration's continuing efforts to improve the transport sector and make travel safer and more convenient for Filipinos.

"I'll ask some of you here: do you remember what we called the 'Love Bus'? This was the popular public utility bus in Metro Manila, which started in the 1970s. We will not only bring back the Love Bus, we make it free," Marcos said to the applause of those at the plenary hall of the Batasang Pambansa.
