@historishhh: LOVE BUS The "Love Bus," introduced in 1974, brought a fresh, comfortable change to Manila's public transportation. Developed by Imelda Marcos and operated by the Metro Manila Transit Corporation (MMTC), it was the first air-conditioned bus line in the country, symbolizing modern commuting. Painted blue with heart designs, the Love Bus stood out with its strict "no standing on the aisle" policy, which ensured riders had a spacious, comfortable ride—a luxury in contrast to the usual crowded, open-sided buses. The Love Bus connected key areas across Manila, like Escolta, Philcoa, Ali Mall, and Rustan’s Makati, making it a favorite for workers, students, and even families. Its cushioned seats and mellow background music created a relaxed atmosphere, making the bus feel more like a cozy lounge than public transport. For a fare of only P1.50, passengers enjoyed a cool, peaceful trip. The Love Bus became a symbol of city life in the 1970s, inspiring songs and nostalgia for simpler times. Though it stopped running in the 1990s, its memory remains cherished as a unique and joyful part of Manila’s history, representing a time when public transit felt both convenient and welcoming. #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #educational #LoveBus #ManilaHistory #AirConditionedBus #PublicTransport #ImeldaMarcos #MetroManila #FilipinoNostalgia #PublicBus #1970sManila #BusInnovation #LoveBusMemory #ManilaCommuting #RetroManila #MellowMusicBus #PublicTransportRevolution #EscoltaBus #AliMallBus #RustansMakatiBus #FilipinoTransportation #VintageManila #LoveBusLegacy
