Crowds at bus terminals in Cuabo still normal 4 days before Undas

Cubao bus terminals

The number of passengers at bus terminals in Cubao, Qeuzon City remained normal on Saturday morning, with authorities expecting heavy influx of province-bound travelers early next week for the Undas exodus.

Quoting terminal authorities, a "Balitanghali" report said most of the passengers seen at Cubao bus stations on Saturday morning were headed for Eastern Visayas and the Bicol region.

On normal days, the number of passengers at the terminals would be about 2,000 daily. But for holidays, especially two days or a day before Undas (All Souls' Day), the number could swell of 3,000 or more per day, a dispatcher said.

Authorities at the Bus Port in Cubao expect some 3,000 to 3,500 passengers on October 31.

But some passengers have decided to travel head of others, booking their tickets three days before Undas.

Police have begun to tighten security at the terminals in preparation for the Undas exodus.

On the other hand, bus companies have the following fare guide for traveling children:

• children three feet below - free
• Children 3.1 to 3.3 feet  - 50% fare discount
