Mindanao Daily Express Transport Cooperative (MindexTransCo) has applied to initially operate 15 routes in Cagayan de Oro and some areas in Misamis Oriental using modern public utility vehicles (PUV) come June 2020.
The routes which have been endorsed by the Office of Transportation Cooperatives (OTC) include the following:
- Cugman to Cogon Public Market and vice versa
- Bayabas to Cogon Public Market and vice versa
- Bonbon to Cogon Public Market and vice versa
- Iponan to Cogon Public Market and vice versa
- Tagoloan to Agora Terminal and vice versa
- Jasaan to Agora Terminal and vice versa
- Villanueva to Agora Terminal and vice versa
- Lapasan to Cogon Public Market and vice versa
- Lapasan to Carmen Market and vice versa
- Talakag, Bukidnon to Agora Terminal and vice versa
- Claveria to Agora Terminal and vice versa
- Tagoloan-Alae-Manolo Fortich and vice versa
- Kisanlu Iponan to Limketkai and vice versa
- Kisanlu Iponan to Gaisano Mall and vice versa
- Cugman RC to Cogon Public Market and vice versa
The said routes are also in consonance to the city’s transport plan as well as in support of the government’s PUV modernization program. Accordingly, PUVs older than 15 years will be phased out by end of June 2020. However, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) also said older jeepneys can still operate beyond the deadline provided they pass the motor vehicle inspection system (MVIS) or the road worthiness test including emission and safety tests.
