“Motorists are advised to allocate extra time for their commute on the said dates,” it said.
The 11.7-kilometer Cavite extension project is projected to service and benefit 800,000 passengers daily by cutting down travel time between Baclaran and Bacoor from one hour and 10 minutes to just about 25 minutes once completed.
