Integrated Mass Transit & Traffic Management
Modern High-Priority Bus Systems, Intelligent Traffic Signals, and Walkable Streets
Rolling out clean electric and Euro-standard bus fleets, intelligent traffic signaling, and pedestrian-friendly walkways.
Civic Significance for Davao City
To prevent Davao City from succumbing to the crippling gridlock seen in other mega-cities, this priority focuses on modernizing public transport. The centerpiece is the Davao High Priority Bus System (HPBS) / Davao Public Transport Modernization Project, replacing aging, smoke-belching jeepneys with a modern, air-conditioned, low-emission bus fleet operating on dedicated schedules, alongside smart synchronized traffic lights and protected bike lanes.
