With the Holy Week celebration fast approaching, Davao City Overland Transport Terminal Manager Aiza Yusoph reminded passengers on their way home to ride only in public utility buses or vans stationed at the DCOTT.
She said it is important that travelers take their rides only at the DCOTT or in recognized satellite terminals to ensure their safety.
“I would like to remind everyone that aside from the Davao Terminal, our recognized satellite terminals are those located in Gaisano Mall, Tulip Drive, SM City and Victoria Plaza.
Furthermore, she said that it is not safe for the commuters to board on a bus or van that was not stationed in the mentioned satellites because these public vehicles would not shoulder their insurance if they met an accident.
She also discouraged bus operators to pick up passengers along the highway for additional safety measures.
In addition for their Holy Week preparation, DCOTT has recently installed 20 CCTV cameras, two of which are pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras that are capable of remote directional and zoom control. They will also deploy additional security personnel from the Task Force Davao and K-nine units in the terminal during the said occasion.
