kabaw ko ani unsay ang istorya sa bus 532 nganu nahimo ni Kinglong ang body

in fact mao ni ang first na Bus (that travels the bacolod-cebu route) na nailisdan ug chassis from traditional HINO body to KINGLONG body

im a frequent traveler of the Cebu-Bacolod / Bacolod-Cebu na route via Toldedo, Don Salvador Benedicto and bus 532 ang byahe gyud na is Bacolod-Cebu and vice versa (same with the rest of the airconditioned units 520, 525, 531, 533, 534, 535, 536, 537, 53

on my frequent travel for the past 4 years sa bacolod-cebu na route daghan na gud ko na amigo na drivers and konduktor and we usually talk during the 6hr travel and they mentioned before na ang bus 532 natumba na sa bukid at Don Salvador Benedicto as it was going down the mountain padung bacolod. paspas kaau ang panaog sa bukid then wala na control sa driver ang pag curve panaog mao na natumba on its side ang ceres.

luckily wala man nahulog sa pampang and gamay ra pasahero. wala man na unsa ang mga pasahero. just minor ra na bun.og. ingon daw sila mga 20 ra man to ang pasahero at that time. ang byahe daw to is 430am nigikan sa cebu then nka labang na sa toledo-san carlos na barge and nka saka na sa bukid and padung na panaog sa bukid nahitabo ang accident around 1030am. the bus was scheduled to arrive 11-1130 am sa bacolod.

good thing maau jud ni ang vallacar transit naa jud sila daun rescue unit sa san carlos, dali ra ang pag rescue sa bus

so mao na ang story nganu na ilisdan from HINO body to KINGLONG body ang bus 532 and the rest of the buses plying the bacolod-cebu route followed the body change

FYI. and body ra na ang KINGLONG sa VTI but ang engine is still the traditional HINO (which is 15 years old na but perteng kusuga pa dyapon). sila ra man mismo mag overhaul engine

they have their own machine shop, pang engine overhaul, transmission, brake lining, tire capping

heck they even have their own gasoline station

Ceres Trivia

The bus company is so popular in Negros that "Ceres" is used by residents as a substitute for the word "bus"

Ceres took over for ABC liner owned by Abines after there were several cases where ABC Liner drivers wounded pedestrians and then intentionally drove over them again to make sure the pedestrian was dead so that the money payout to the family was smaller than paying for hospital bills. This caused the filipino saying of "The ABC bus is coming run for your lives!" Pedestrians feel much more comfortable now that Ceres has taken over.

Actually if we base it on their plate numbers, Ceres Tours 532 is ex-Ceres Tours 531... Pero lisud iconfirm kay if magrebody ang Ceres, there are times na hasta ang plate kay ilisan sad...

Murag si 535 ang naaksidente sa DSB
