Mercedes-Benz buses to ply new P2P route
SEVENTEEN Mercedes-Benz 0500U premium buses are set to ply the Point-to-Point, or P2P, route from Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City to NAIA Terminal 1 in Pasay City as the German brand’s distributor in the Philippines, Auto Nation Group (ANG), joined UBE Express in the new project.
UBE Express operates a premium bus airport shuttle service.
ANG and UBE Express started its partnership in 2016 when the former provided 21 units of the 0500U’s 24-seat version. This year, ANG has committed to deliver 17 units of the bus model’s 32-seat version.
ANG noted UBE Express is “just one of the numerous P2P companies [it] provides buses to” in Metro Manila and Cebu.
