The Delmonte Land Transport and Bus Company (DLTB Co.) will be returning to the University of the Philippine Los Baños (UPLB) on Oct. 17 to bring passengers from and to different locations in Metro Manila.
"Beginning Oct. 17, Monday, DLTB Co. will be ferrying passengers from and to UPLB with the following route and schedule: 5:00 a.m. – UPLB to LRT Buendia and 6:00 p.m. – LRT Buendia to UPLB," said the university in a report.
The loading and unloading location on the campus will be near the UPLB main gate opposite the College of Development Communication building, said UPLB.
Additional departure times will be scheduled depending on the demand, UPLB added.
This initiative, UPLB said, was an effort to maximize the mobility of residents living in the campus' nearby communities.
The partnership was discussed by DLTB Co. Chief Safety Officer and Laguna Area Manager Lolito E. Maderal and Chancellor Jose V. Camacho, Jr., and Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs Roberto P. Cereno.
According to UPLB, DLTB Co. used to have a loading and unloading station in its Foresty campus but its Forestry-Manila route operations stopped in 1979.
