The Quezon City Council has granted special use permits to four provincial bus terminals after their companies complied with the necessary regulatory requirements prescribed by the city government.
First North Luzon Transport Inc., Bataan Transit Co., Inc., Five Star and Luzon Cisco Transport Inc., which all have terminals at the Cubao area, were granted permits.
Their operators also complied with the requirements prescribed by the barangay council in Cubao related to running a bus terminal, garage station and motorpool in the city.
As required in Quezon City, bus terminals must be equipped with closed circuit television surveillance systems, a ticketing and shipping booth, well-maintained toilets, sleeping quarters, baggage area and parking area.
Transport terminals are among those business establishments that require a special use permit to operate. These permits are issued subject to an authorization from the City Council through a resolution.
The QC Council also authorized a special use permit to City Bus Inc., located at Barangay Sta. Monica in Novaliches.
