THE LAND Transportation Office (LTO) is opening eight more extension and licensing centers in different parts of the Central Visayas region next year. LTO Regional Director Victor Emmanuel C. Caindec on Tuesday said four are already opening within the next 30 days. These are located in La Libertad, Negros Oriental; Gaisano Grand Jai-Alai and Gaisano Country Mall in Cebu City; and Tubigon, Bohol. Mr. Caindec said they have already opened at least 20 new licensing centers in the last two years in line with the goal to provide “convenience to the transacting public.” Meanwhile, Mr. Caindec said the LTO regional office’s Malasakit Lounge will take in passengers while waiting for their respective rides at the nearby Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) as the Christmas travel rush starts. He added that they are also coordinating with tourist bus companies for the provision of free shuttle service from CSBT to Star Mall in Talisay City for the southern passengers and from Plaza Independencia in Cebu City to Consolacion town for the northern passengers to augment the expected insufficient public transport available during the Christmas holidays. — The Freeman
