Cebu transport project on hold for further review--transport dept

THE transportation department said that it was putting on hold the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit project after an LRT-Subway proposal was presented to the secretary of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), which he found more favorable.

"The Department of Transportation believes that a review must be undertaken and that concerns raised must be addressed, so as not to cast any doubt on the integrity of the project," the DOTr said in a statement late Wednesday.
