The newly released Hyundai Modern PUV units are earmarked to serve the coastal towns of Bulusan, Barcelona, Gubat, and Sorsogon City, providing efficient, comfortable, safe, and environmental-friendly transportation to locals and tourists alike.

Hyundai Modern PUVs were unveiled to the public during the send-off program at the Sorsogon Integrated Terminal Exchange (SITEX) in Sorsogon City.

BULTRASCO is the 4th transport cooperative beneficiary of the PUV Modernization program in the entire Bicol Region. Earlier, in 2020, a fleet of 23 Hyundai Modern PUVs was turned over to the Tabaco-Legazpi Transport Cooperative (TALETRANSCO) of Albay province.

This latest development serves as another achievement for HARI’s continuing support for the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) in the Bicol region.

“Our Hyundai Modern PUV is a testament to our continuing mission of developing the transport sector through quality people movers that in turn upgrade the quality of lives of drivers and commuters alike,” said HARI President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo. “Further, the Hyundai Modern PUV is a symbol of Filipino ingenuity, built with the diligence, skills, reliability, and determination of Filipinos working for the advancement of Filipinos. With the nation’s transport sector and workforce joining hands to make commuting better and safer for the riding public, we can all contribute towards making opportunities for progress more attainable for the Filipino.”

Since the inception of the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program or PUVMP in 2017, HARI has been a firm supporter of the national goal to modernize transportation, sustaining the momentum even at the height of the pandemic. In 2021, the company turned over close to 500 modern PUV units to various local transport cooperatives across the country. This year, HARI aims to touch base with more key cities and provinces.
