BALANGA City, Bataan – Genesis Transport Service, Inc. launched in Bataan on Thursday the first hybrid bus service for the provincial run in the Philippines that will serve the Balanga City – Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange route.
The launching was conducted at the stunning edifice of The Bunker, historical seat of the provincial government, and four-lane road in Balanga City.
Gov. Jose Enrique Garcia III said additional bus services in Bataan is very important considering that investors continue to flock in economic zones, hiring thousands of workers.
