Dagupan City, June 10, 2021 — Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade and City Mayor Brian Lim, and officials from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) graced the turnover of PUV’s to various transport cooperatives.  Included in this ceremony are five (5) Fuso Canter Commute Class II Modern PUVs of Bonuan Transport Services Inc. (BTSI) which was acquired from Motorplaza Inc., one of FUSO’s dealers in the region.  

BTSI officially sent the FUSO Canter Commute Modern PUV on the roads of Dagupan City on June 10, Thursday, in compliance with DOTr’s PUV Modernization Program.
