The seminar was conducted by the One Cavite Transport Consortium Inc. and the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX).

The 50 drivers who attended the seminar were from the bus transportation companies of Saulog Transit, Westcaboa, and Saint Anthony De Padua.

The Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT Couth) said it will continue to advocate for road safety especially now that normal traffic is back and buses and other public vehicles are out on the roads.

The MPT South expressed hope that the "Drayberks" road safety orientation program will help drivers to be more conscious of being a defensive driver.

“This mindset of safety is valuable in keeping the bus drivers, other PUV drivers, and other motorists safe whilst sharing the road with one another" said Arlette Capistrano, Assistant Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management of MPT South. 

"Drayberks" is an award-winning social advocacy of MPT South that educates motorists on road safety and shows how they can take advantage of the safety features of the expressway.
