Modern PUVS will soon be plying Pangasinan as Hyundai Asia Resources, Incorporated (HARI) recently turned over 10 units of its Class 2 HD50S Modern Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) to the Tayug Pangasinan Transport Cooperative (TAPTRANSCO).
Hyundai is on the move to bolster the government’s bid to modernize public transport via the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP).TAPTRANSCO, meanwhile, is one of the area’s newest transport groups to immediately respond to their local government’s transport modernization initiatives.
In attendance were local government and transport group leaders who reiterated their support for the PUVMP which, on a larger scale, is envisioned to uplift the livelihood and well-being of drivers, the commuting public, and the community.
The LTFRB and the Pangasinan local government laud TAPTRANSCO’s acquisition of Hyundai Modern PUVs. Bravely facing the challenges of the new normal, TAPTRANSCO is set to provide the province better, safer, more comfortable and an ecofriendlier commute.
