The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority announced Thursday that electric Love bus services will be suspended from November 16 to 18 to accommodate the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit and its accompanying activities.
The three-day operational halt is part of broader preparations by city authorities to manage traffic flow and ensure security during the regional diplomatic event. The MMDA has been coordinating extensively with various agencies to facilitate smooth transport conditions for summit delegates and visitors.
The suspension represents one of several transport adjustments expected during the summit period. The MMDA has already announced plans to deploy more than 2,600 personnel across the metropolis to manage traffic and provide support services during the gatherings.
Commuters relying on the electric Love bus service are advised to seek alternative transportation options during the three-day window. The suspension will be lifted following the conclusion of the summit and related meetings.
