00:22to travel early to the provinces.
00:24It's better to travel early so that it won't be difficult to travel.
00:27It's better because the bus is busier.
00:29So that it won't be difficult to travel.
00:34The PITX is already preparing,
00:36especially since they're expecting 2.3 million passengers
00:39to arrive from Wednesday, April 9,
00:42until the end of Christmas.

01:01to issue special permits for additional lines.
