Davao Bus Project manager and lawyer Tristan Dwight Domingo said the 10 brand-new, 12-meter low-floor buses, featuring a closed-circuit television camera, bike rack, and PWD ramp, will begin to operate on Dec. 5.

He said the buses will operate from Mondays to Saturdays from 6 to 10 a.m. and from 4 to 9 p.m. He added that the trial run will cover nine routes, with each bus making up to three trips per shift, depending on traffic.

The DC buses will serve the following routes: Toril to Sandawa, Mintal to Sandawa and Roxas, and Bangkal to Roxas in the southbound direction and Buhangin to Roxas and Panacan areas in the northbound direction.
