President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. leads the groundbreaking of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) Project – Package 1 along Fuente Osmeña Circle on February 27, 2023.

The CBRT Project is a 13.8-kilometer segregated lane with 17 bus stations, one (1) depot and one (1) trunk terminal that is expected to cater to approximately more than 160,000 passengers daily.

Package 1 of the CBRT covers the construction of four (4) stations, a trunk service of 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) to the Capitol Building, and pedestrian improvement of 1.15 kilometers from N. Bacalso corner Osmeña Boulevard to Plaza Independencia.

The Cebu Bus Rapid Transit is one of the government’s flagship infrastructure projects aimed at providing a more efficient, reliable, comfortable and safer public transportation for the Cebuanos.

It is designed to improve the overall performance of the urban transport system in Cebu City’s Project Corridor in terms of the quality and level of service, safety and environmental efficiency. The CBRT is expected to be partially operational in the 4th quarter of 2023 and fully operational in the 2nd quarter of 2025.
