We thank the leadership of Speaker Romualdez for responding and helping our objective that commuters would not suffer from this transport strike,” ani Artes

Ayon kay Artes ang mga bus ay may rutang SUCAT-Baclaran, Pasig-Momumento-Quiapo, Philcoa-Doña carmen, Parañaque City to City Hall, t Antipolo-Quiapo.
