The Robinsons Galleria Cebu will open on December 10.

Two coasters will transport commuters to and from the Robinsons Galleria Cebu for free starting December 10, Thursday.

Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) operations chief Joy Tumulak said he was told by Robinsons management of their plan to field coasters.

The first coaster will pass by Pier 1 to 4 and head to Robinsons Galleria Cebu and vice versa. The second coaster will travel from Robinsons Fuente to Robinsons Galleria Cebu.

Though he hasn’t seen the coasters yet, Tumulak said the standard coasters can accommodate 30-40 passengers.

“This will really be of help because instead of riding a taxi, passenger jeepney or private vehicles, if there’s a shuttle, people can just ride it. It can reduce the volume of vehilces on the road,” Tumulak said.

He said the routes were chosen since there are no existing jeepney routes passing through the areas.

Robinsons Galleria Cebu will open on December 10.

Tumulak said though that he hasn’t been told until when the coasters will be plying the routes.

At least 30 CCTO personnel will be fielded during the mall’s opening.

No parking and no stopping along Gen. Maxilom Ave. Extension and S. Osmena Road will be strictly implemented.
