With protocols and restrictions limiting public transportation, government-registered tourist vans are now offering regular trips to common provincial destinations. Extending an online booking service through booktouristvan.com, pre-booking to ride the trip is a requirement.
The online platform is powered by Biyaheroes and it aids van operators with a comprehensive system for contact tracing and inventory oversight. Passengers can experience paperless transactions, various payment options, and sure seats. Face masks are also given as freebies.
