After months of suspension due to COVID-19, public utility vehicles (PUVs) have been operating again, albeit in limited capacity. It can be remembered that public transportation was paralyzed in the early months of the pandemic, leaving commuters with very little options. But now that we’re slowly settling into the new normal, more PUVs are being allowed back into the streets.
Aside from jeepneys and buses, another mode of transportation that the public have relied on through the years is the UV Express. Over a hundred UV Express routes operate within Metro Manila and to and from nearby provinces like Cavite, Bulacan, Laguna, and Rizal.
